My deepest apologies to the family, I wasn't aware of Paul's passing until just now ~ a month after. I have some very fond memories of Paul while growing up. He was always such a sweet person and fun to be around. What a special person he was. I know he has a special place saved just for him in Heaven. I'm sorry I didn't know of this sooner. God bless you all.

My condolences to the entire Family.
I had not seen Paul for many years...possibly not since High School or shortly thereafter - but I have great memories of his great smile, mild manner, bright spirit and kindness. He will be fondly remembered...Vince Piccolomini
Hello Mrs. Wanda Jurco & Family,
May God Bless You and the Family at this difficult time.
I am very sorry to hear about Paul's death. I had the priviledge of meeting Paul at E.C. during the time he was there. Whenever I would run into Paul even years after school, he always had a warm smile on his face. My condolences to John, Jim, Margaret and the rest of the Jurco Family. Sincerely, Alan Wack
As the 30th Reunion chairperson of the NRHS Class of 1978 I just want to say how saddened we are at the premature passing of one of our own. It sounds as though Paul left many wonderful memories to look back on, and I hope the family will find comfort in the looking back. We will remember you in our thoughts and prayers.
?For God so loved the world, he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him, should not perish, but have everlasting life.? John 3:16
Until the spring of 1959 life was pretty routine for the family with 4 children living in rural land at 35968 Lorain Road. As the 7th of April came along the quiet routine was about to change. A new baby was born into our family?his name was Paul. As spring unfolded during the 10th year of my sister Lorraine?s life, her happiest memories were brought on the with this fun-loving baby boy. He was the golden boy of her life whose smile went from ear to ear. He had a big head of beautiful golden blond curls. He was a lovable, happy baby with health issues right from the start. Even so, his love of life and marvelous laughter are what showed through.
When Paul was well?we remember:
? his hearty laugh!!!
? he loved his friends and loved to joke around
? he loved Clint Eastwood movies and music?he had quite the collection
? he loved his sauerkraut and potatoes
? he was especially close to our brother John and was so sad when he left for the Marines
? Dad and Paul used to have head fights. They?d get down on their hands and knees and put their heads together and push each other with their heads. They had the big heads of the family
? he loved to be active?rock climbing, cross country skiing, hiking the Grand Canyon
A verse from the Book of Isaiah, Chapter 40, verse 31: ?But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.?
He used to run miles in his healthy days and got in shape to play football in high school.
When Paul was able to focus he gave 100% and then some.
I remember being awed at his determination in running and getting in shape.
He was an awesome swimmer
These are times we?ve forgotten because we all know Paul has had some incredibly rough years. We all have pained for him, and with him.
We are happy for Paul?s relief. Thank you Lord Jesus for taking him home to have no more pain, no more tears. ?God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.? Rev 21:4
Paul, like his mom, loved to travel and he really missed doing this.
He desired to be married, but circumstances we all know diminished this dream for Paul. He held on to it as long as he could. This was one of Paul?s biggest letdowns (I believe).
He wanted a normal life. But that wasn?t to be for Paul. The Lord sometimes works in ways we don?t understand. But ?we know that all things work together for good to them that love God.? Romans 8:28.
Jayce remembers the basketball games in the back yard. We always had a ball game at our house all summer long. Arguing over who would stop to go take care of the customer. Me and Theresa know who lost that argument 99% of the time!!
He bought his dream car, a T-top Monte Carlo. It was gorgeous, just like Paul.
Looking back, even though Paul?s personal dreams were not fully realized, and his health became the struggle of his life, we choose to remember him in his happier times before his health took away from his joy and love of life. It is these memories of him that we hope will stay with you when you think of our brother Paul. May his golden boy smile fill your soul with joy. Thank you, Lord Jesus, for blessing us with this wonderful brother.
We will miss you Paul!!
To the entire Jurco family we send you our deepest sympathy in the passing of your beloved Paul. A number of years ago we were visiting in California, and he was so very kind to us.
We think he was happy to see someone from home, and we were happy to see him too.
Please know we are thinking of you at this time.
With love,
Libby and Steve Warden
I am so sorry to read of Paul's death. I was his fifth grade teacher at St. Peter's. It was the first year I taught school and I remember Paul and Jim. Paul was such a sweet kind young man, always polite. It was a very hard year for him because his sister had passed away. I hope his life was filled with love and joy.
