Paul L.

Mr Ladin have me my first job and made me his parts manager when I was only 21 years old. He told me he could have hired a more experienced manager but he sleeps better with me in the department. Mr. Ladin even trusted me with the keys to the dealership. I was with the dealer for 37 years and  4 remodels. When I developed spinal cord issues he gave me a vehicle with hand controls upon my release from my position. When my daughter who also worked at the dealer was killed the Ladin family helped me with covering expenses. After becoming parts manager i was told it was ok to call him Paul, I tried it once and I had to wash out my mouth with soap. Mr. Ladin was bigger than life. He provided my whole life. I was in the hospital when the service was held. I felt very bad to miss it. Will always  have the memories.

Upon meeting Paul many years ago, who was at that time soon to be my brother's father in law, I found him to be quite the character.... funny, inquisitive and charming.. I'd say he had a great presence.   He welcomed us (Gary's East Coast Family) into his home and his heart.   He and my father equally loved golf and had that as a common ground aside from them both being quite magnanimous personalities..   My parents loved visiting Paul and Cece and quite enjoyed their company.   Paul used to tease my father about his low blood pressure and the fact that he never seemed to get stressed over anything.   Paul used to call my son "Magno" and was always kidding with him.   He was a very colorful man;  I am sorry that he is gone.   I liked him very much...   Rest in peace Paul Ladin.. 

Paul Ladin will be missed dearly by myself as well as my family.  He was a one-of-a-kind break the mold, seriously, I am so pleased to have known him, as there truly is nobody else out there anything like him.  I consider it an honor to have been in his employ for the past 20 plus years, and I consider it an honor to call him my friend.  I will miss him.

My sincerest condolences to the family.
