How I will miss talking hockey with Paul this winter in Palm Springs. I'm sure he will soon find a rink up there and again play the game we love. Norm Weitzel, West Vancouver, formerly Winnipeg. - Posted by: Norm Weitzel ("Desert Friend") on: Nov 18, 2012

I am so sorry to have missed out Meeting Paul. My father often mentioned Paul and His Family, especially His father Leo who was my father's brother. Unfortunately we came to Canada Many Years After uncle Leo. I might just mention that when uncle Leo came to Canada His Name was mispelled. He could Not speak English so if you Said A in german it was really an E. So now some of us are Platz and some Pletz. - Posted by: Ingrid Pletz/Zaste (cousin) on: Nov 16, 2012

Uncle Paul was an uncle I was very blessed to have spent time with later in his life. For several years we met him in Palm Springs during his winter vacation. He was a very caring, dear Uncle, always with a big smile, a funny story or a joke. As he was loved, he will be missed. - Posted by: Johann Carol Platz Cuhrt (Niece (Father Waldemar Platz)) on: Nov 10, 2012
