Paul Lynn Eldridge
Paul Eldridge, 82, went home to be with his Lord on August 30, 2014. He was the son of Kenneth and Margaret (Cowie) Eldridge, and grew up in Sioux Falls, South Dakota.
Paul was a Master Sergeant in the Air Force, and was honorably discharged in 1955. He went on to complete his academic studies and earned his BS degree in Finance from Augustana College, in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, and his MBA from the University of South Dakota-Vermillion. Paul was very proud of having earned the status of Eagle Scout, and was a very accomplished business man whose travels took him to Europe, South Africa, and Israel. Paul returned to Colorado in the 1970s and made Denver his permanent home.
As a second career, Paul established a clothing company which specialized in ski apparel. In his later years, Paul became involved in several businesses; Real Estate development and an Auto Repair shop which specialized in high performance German cars.
In 1988, Paul married his best friend Caz, (aka Cindy) and they remained happily married and enjoyed many adventures together. Paul is survived by his loving wife, Caz, nephews Douglas S. (Christine) Culbert of Chicago, IL, and Brian S. Culbert of Sioux Falls, SD, nieces Emily Culbert and Cara Culbert, and numerous other nieces, grand nieces and nephews in Florida and New York.

My heart is broken for You as I learned of Paul"s passing. You know that although I never met Paul I feel as though I knew Him. I am praying for Jesus to wrap His loving arms around You and give You the peace of knowing Paul is not suffering and He is probably building a great deck in Heaven for when You two can be together again ! Just know God Loves You and so Do I
My prayers are with you Caz and the extended family
You and Paul were such a lovely couple
You spent many hours caring for him while he was sick and in rehab
The love you had for each other was so great
Praying for you as you will be missing your best friend and rejoicing also that
Paul is now with our Savior
love and prayer

I am sorry for your loss, Caz, and hope that the miles and years ahead will be brightened by remembrance of the good times and discoveries you two shared.
My dearest Cazbah,
It was a privilege to know Paul and witness what a kind, loving, Christian husband he was. I know you loved him deeply by the long discussions we had during our marathon breakfasts at Mimis. Knowing that he's now with our heavenly Father must be a huge comfort! Paige and I are deeply sorry for your loss; just know that we're there for you at any time.
