    A small look into the boat racing life of legend Paul "Grich" Grichar. RIP Paul you'll be missed!

    Hi, Ron- here are some JPEGs and text. Sorry you did not hear about the memorial in time. Grichar was a really good guy.PAUL GRICHAR
    Longtime Grand National racer Paul Grichar passed away peacefully, surrounded by his family and friends, on
    August 30, 2017.
    Grich lived an incredible life. He was
    born to the late Leo and Catherine Grichar on Jan
    14,1937 in Elizabeth, Pennsylvania, but lived most
    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
    three times in 30+ years of racing, primarily in
    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
    Danny Thomas Place, Memphis TN 38105 or to
    your local Humane Society.
