Liz Ferrara I'm so stunned and saddened to hear about Paul. Although we went to the same preschool, I didn't really know Paul until High School. He was such an amazing person: always upbeat, positive and kind. We were on the school newspaper together. I remember being too shy to go out and ask businesses to advertise in the paper, so Mr. McNeeley made Paul go with me. He was happy to help me out, and he was so good at talking to people that we got a lot of yes's that day! I only hung out with Paul a handful of times over the years, but the one thing I can say for certain is that he loved his family and friends, and he especially adored his two kids. May those closest to him find peace in the coming days as we remember Paul and reflect on his life. I'm so very sorry for your loss.
Matt DeFraga Piano lessons with Georgia Miller. Paul looks happier about them than I do! 😆That’s fitting, because he was so quick with a laugh each time I saw him. ☺️
Jason Conner( Von Aspern) Paulie, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen you and a couple years since we’ve talked. You were always a solid dude and always an All-Star in my book. Rest easy my friend. So sorry to hear this horrible news.
Meghan Schulze Frick & Frack New Year’s Eve bash at the Rueb’s house (thank you Mr. & Mrs Rueb for always leaving for Hawaii the week after Christmas). Not sure how two 18 year olds were able to obtain a keg…nonetheless these were some good times had by all! 🍻
Jen Morin 1992 in London. I don’t know where we were all going here but London was a magical time for many of us in the program . Paul was the initiator of most the amazing experiences we shared in Europe that year. I don’t have words to express my sadness. He was loved by me and many people
Jen Morin Another oldie but goodie circa 1992
Kevin Moffitt Paul, John White, Bart McCartin, and I at our going away dinner for London House, 1993. After collage, Paul and I spent our lives thousands of miles apart, so the chances to see each other were rare, but I always thought of him as one of my best friends. One of the funniest, most sincere, nicest guys I’ve ever met. I feel privileged to have shared time with him. Deepest condolences to all his family and friends.
Jason Pates Paul took being a Best Man seriously. I mean, he still picked me up in his green Bronco and we hit McDonalds prior to reaching the Pepperdine Chapel. But he always put careful thought into planning activities, including our European expedition between Pepperdine semesters in 1992-93. He was the guy to count on when you needed a lift to the airport or help moving -- the annoying tasks that reveal who your real friends are. There aren't enough Paul Albrights in the world. Sad to have lost the original. Praying for all who will miss him, especially Cal and Poppy.

Dante Morabe Poker Buddies 4 Life!!! Paul was horrible at playing poker, and took our teasing him like a champ. One night he brought a card shuffler that he purchased at a garage sale. Thing was so slow and loud we gave up using it but would always tease Paul every time we had a poker night and asked him if he brought the shuffler.

Meghan Schulze As with so many Paul-related memories, there is a long story (YEARS of stories) behind this picture and this lighted sign. Many, many memories for Paul and Tom (& others…you all know who you are) made at this little whole in the wall place in downtown Pinole. Hunting down this sign (the long story) and surprising Tom with it for his birthday (an elaborate ruse to throw Tom off in typical Paul style) was an absolute labor of love for Paul. The pride he displayed when he brought it over was something I will never forget. The sheer joy on his face when Tom continually asked him how he did it; how he made it happen are etched in my memory. As Tom’s wife, but also Paul’s friend, that is perhaps my greatest sadness. Watching them interact and listening to them just tease each other mercilessly is something that I will cherish forever. This sign holds much more value than either of us knew it would on the day Paul brought it over…..it is now priceless and one of our most treasured possessions.
Kate Blosser Paul wanted to get out of the heat, so we did a SF staycation and explored Point Bonita and Fort Point. I had never been to either one. We had so much fun exploring together. Our adventures were full of laughs. We could just “be” together. It was easy. He always put his hand out for me to old, and I always gladly took it.
Kate Blosser Wine country trip, our last getaway. Paul and I laughed how he barely fit in the chair!
Dante Morabe Paul would send random photos all the time to our group text with the guys, these always brought a smile to my face and chuckle. Going to miss these
Kate Blosser Paul was so excited to get certified for scuba diving with the kids. He had so many places he wanted to go with them. I’d get excited for him, listening to his ideas and plans. I love how he loved taking his kids on adventures and showing them the world.
Kate Blosser I love this picture of Paul’s annual Christmas tree trip with his kids. He looks so happy, but he does in every picture with his kids. This is one of the last pictures he sent to me with the three of them. One of the many things that I was attracted to and impressed by was what a devoted, engaged dad he was.
When my mom told me the news that Paul had died, I asked her to repeat it. It just didn’t make sense. I think I speak for a lot of people when I say that. Paul has always just been a constant presence. From being little kids on a Boys Club soccer team together, to walking the back way home from John Swett together, standing at the back of the heigh...
