Paul passed away peacefully in the loving arms of his wife, Janie.  After a two-year battle with cancer, he is now free at last. Not only did Paul give her the key to his heart, he also gave her the key to unlock the door so he could move on to peace and freedom. His ashes will be returning home.

Paul Marcaurel was born in San Pedro, CA and resided in Turlock, CA. He was in the US Air Force for four years during the Vietnam War, A1C, as part of the Security Police Squadron from 1967 to 1970, and was honorably discharged.

Tall, dark and handsome, Paul was gifted with a great personality and sense of humor. He enjoyed golfing and was an avid fan of the S.F. Giants and 49ers. He also enjoyed playing a good hand of poker with his neighbors.

Paul worked most of his life in the beverage industry and was very well known to all. He worked in management, starting with Pepsi Cola in Milpitas, Showerman Dist. Miller Beer in San Jose, and then later retiring from Bottomley Dist. Budweiser Beer in Milpitas.

After retirement, he enjoyed playing golf at many local golf courses, and was known as “Montana” when booking his tee times.

Paul is survived by his loving wife Janie, mother-in-law Sacorra Grady, sister-in-law Jeanne Kelley and her two children (Justin and Kristi), brother-in-law Stephan Nance and his two children (Joseph and Candice), and his brother Dallas Jensen.

In lieu of flowers, if you’d like, you may make a charitable donation in Paul’s memory to the American Institution of Cancer Research.

Private services will be held for immediate family only on Dec. 4, 2020 at Allen Mortuary, Turlock.

    Ron & I just learned of Paul’s passing. We were so sorry to here he lost his fight with cancer. Ron worked with Paul at both Dr. Pepper and Pepsi . Many a night Paul would stay at our house when h was still single. Our daughters would even iron his shirts when we were going out dancing. We send you our thoughts & prayers and so sorry we all lost touch over the years.

  3. Reno Cortesi says

    Paul and I worked together at Pepsi Cola in Milpitas, and before that in Sunnyvale. He was known around the Pepsi plant as “The Doctor”, mainly because he use to sell Dr. Pepper from his truck on his route. Paul was one of my top salesmen. He was loved by all. Paul was a jokester and always Seemed to have fun no matter where you were. He was very talented, and I always remember the Super Bowl Pool’s he would lavishly make. I am so sorry to hear of his passing. My condolences to Janie and his family. Rest in peace “Doctor”.

    Janie, our thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family during this difficult time.
    We met Paul five years ago when we moved here. When he found out that we were BIG 49’er and Giants fans, we became instant friends! Over the years we had many opportunities to celebrate and anguish over our teams!
    He was a great guy and we feel fortunate to have known him and you as well.
    You’re in our hearts during this very difficult time.

    Janie, I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I think back to all the wonderful memories that we shared with you and Paul when we were neighbors.

We were all blessed to have known Paul and will truly miss him. If you need anything please let me know, love you.

    We absolutely missed “Montana” playing golf today. Paul was always the gentleman golfer. I understand he is making a Tee Time for us in heaven. I will refrain from calling him a “big cry baby”!
    Our deepest sympathies are with you Janie!

    We met you as we were moving into our community. You were so fun and welcomed us all. I remember the Mother’s Day breakfast, the guys did and you were dressed in a tux with pink shoes. You and Janie are are great inspiration to us all. You also helped my Mom the first time she went to the Cancer center. You are in our hearts and you are truly one of the Angels.

    My thoughts and prayers are with you Janie. We met you and Paul the day you were moving in as we were driving by. We knew then you would be great neighbors. Wish I could drop by and give you a hug like you did for me when I lost Dick. Because of he virus, I won’t, but please know my heart hurts for you.

    Our deepest condolences, love and prayers to you and your family Janie. You know how much Pete and I loved Paul, and you! We had so many fun times together. Paul will always be remembered for being “The Old Guy” in our wedding, but Pete wouldn’t have had it any other way. Their friendship was special and you both have always been very special to us. We love you Janie and know we are always here for you.
