Grich lived an incredible life. He was

of his life in West Covina, California. Grich was well
known in the sport of powerboat racing. He had
been inducted into the APBA Hall of Champions

Inboard Endurance.
He made his living as the owner and operator
of Paul Grichar Racing Engines. Grich is survived
by his wonderful wife Becky of 51 years, son
Guy, sister-in-law Pat Ingoglia, many nieces and
nephews, and his beloved German shorthair dogs
Howie & Opah. A celebration of life was held at the
Hurst Ranch in West Covina on October 28. In lieu
of flowers, donations may be made to his favorite
charities, the St. Jude Hospital for Children, 262
