Paul L. Belcik

He graduated from Hallettsville High School in 1942. After attending Baldwins’ Business College in Yoakum, he enlisted in the Army Air Corp on his 19th birthday in 1943, serving three years in the Philippines. He married Lillian Brogger on June 15, 1948. They made their home and raised four children

in Victoria, where he had a career as Parts Manager for Goad Motor Co. and later for Gladden Pontiac.

He was sharp-witted and loved to fish and tell stories. His barbeque grill was seldom cold. Paul never threw anything away and was quite the collector and fixer of all things. A member of Our Lady of Victory Catholic Church, he was always faithful and dedicated to God and his family.

Paul is survived by his sons, Michael Belcik of Weir, Texas, Mark (Gail) Belcik of Victoria, Myron Belcik of Port O’Connor, Texas and daughter, Lethie (Ronnie) Albrecht of Mission Valley, Texas; grandchildren, Billy (Missy) Albrecht, Glenn (Rachael) Albrecht, Kelley (Marcus) Fulbright, Dustin (Tara) Belcik, Ryan Belcik, Tyler Belcik, Trevor Belcik and Alayna (Devon) Rivera; great grandchildren, D’Laci, Mollie and Lilly Albrecht, Morgan and Olivia Fulbright, Tristan Belcik and baby girl, Rivera due this summer.

He was preceded in death by his parents; wife, Lillian Brogger; brothers, John H. and Eddie Belcik; and sister, Eileen Denson.
