Paul
Blumenstein Sr.
Paul David Blumenstein Sr.
left this world on February 5,
2020 and is now with his loving
wife, Lois. Paul had a brief
stay at the Veterans Home-in
The Dalles, Oregon prior to his
passing.
He
was
born May 17,
1926 at home
i n C e n t ra l
Point, Ore-
gon to David
Samuel Blu-
menstein and
Anna Blanche
Paul Blumenstein (Aubert) Blu-
Sr.
menstein. He
had one sib-
ling, a younger sister Helene
(married Theron Gordon), who
survives him. He attended
Central Point Public School
and graduated from Central
Point High School in 1944.
After graduation, Paul en-
listed in the Army Air Force
and completed basic training
at the Presidio of Monterey.
He was stationed at Lowry Air
Force Base in Denver, CO. He
was honorably discharged in
1945. Paul was recalled into
the U.S. Air Force in 1951 for
the Korean Conflict. He was
again honorably discharged in
1952. In between service dates,
he moved to Eugene, Oregon
and attended electronics trade
school.
Paul married Ilene Louise
Narramore in Linn County,
Oregon in 1948 and had 3 sons
and 1 daughter. They later di-
vorced. In 1962 Paul remarried
Lois Irene (Ryan) Gaston who
had a son and a daughter. They
later legally adopted each oth-
er’s children. Paul is survived
by his children Paul David.
Blumenstein Jr. (Janet), Steven
C. Blumenstein (Kimberly),
Michael D. Blumenstein (Phyl-
lis), Toni Lynn
(Blumenstein) Stuart, Spen-
cer B. Blumenstein, and Sheri
E. (Blumenstein) Hestmark
(Brett).
Paul worked in the Eugene/
Springfield area for 20 years
at Fletcher and Smart TV and
Appliance Repair, as well as for
the City of Eugene Parks and
Recreation Department. He
was active in his kid’s sporting
activities and loved working on
his yard and home with Lois.
The camping trips with the
whole family in the Greenbri-
er van hold a lot of precious
memories.
In 1974, Paul and Lois
moved to the family home-
stead in Mt. Hood, Oregon to
work for his Uncle Paul Au-
bert in the orchards. He also
worked at various other jobs in
the Hood River area; Jerhsted
Airport FBO, Hood River Golf
Course, Diamond Fruit (driv-
ing trucks), Foster Saw small
engine repair, Mt Hood Rail-
road, Cooper Spur Ski Resort
and WAAAM Museum.
Paul was a jack of all trades;
he could repair and build
most anything. He was an avid
gardener and orchardist. He
obtained his pilot’s license
after moving to Mt. Hood, as
did wife Lois and they both
loved flying their Cessna 152
on many trips. They also en-
joyed traveling and exploring
in their motorhome, when
time allowed.
He was a very athletic man
who performed acrobatics and
played baseball as a youth
and with his kids. He was an
accomplished water skier and
taught all his kids. He loved
to ride motorcycles, Harleys
primarily, but when they were
young, he did tote his kids
around on his Vespa.
Paul never lost his youthful
exuberance and was continu-
ally awed by the simple things
of life. He was truly a sweet
ing, said a press release. Class
curriculum will center around
behavior modification tech-
niques, coping skills, social
change and stress manage-
ment.
Each class will offer a pre-
sentation and handouts, as
well as allow for activity and
discussion, said a press re-
lease. Participation is based
on personal comfort level, as is
setting a quitting date (encour-

aged but not essential).
Participants will be entered

the end of the eight weeks, for
each class attended. Snacks
will be provided at each class.
