I received a very sad bit of news today from Barbara Trefzer. She
informed me that one of the good guys has gone on ahead to scout out that great
hunting lodge in the sky. Many of you may have known Paul more precisely by
his AuctionArms nickname MasterT3. Barbara and Lana, his daughter
have passed on a copy of Paul's obituary for posting for his AuctionArms.com
family. Paul E Trefzer, III, Paul's son will be carrying on the business
under the MasterT3 moniker. To the Trefzers we offer our heartfelt
condolences and are very sorry for your untimely loss. Barbara, you and your
family will be in our prayers.
Barbara has asked for the patience and understanding of all Paul's customers
while they work out all the details of Paul's deals left to be
completed.
Paul, so long pardner, you will be missed. I know you'll have some good
stands picked out for us and good huntin' stories to share when we next meet
again.
Paul
E. Trefzer, Jr.
Paul
Edwin Trefzer, Jr. 70 of Sebastian died suddenly Sunday, August 23 at Sebastian
River Medical Center.
He
was a Florida native, his pioneer family settling in central Florida in the
1820s.
A
veteran of the USMC, he served during the Korean conflict.
Paul
was very versatile and proud of his accomplishments but he was happiest at being
husband, dad and “Ginga” (grandfather). He served as a Florida Highway
Patrolman and also was a well-known and respected stockcar driver on the local
circuit during his younger years. He had been owner of various car lots and gas
stations, later moving into heavy equipment sales. He was involved in real
estate, developing Wildwood Acres, the first residential development in Jupiter
Farms. He was current co-owner and gunsmith of Paul’s Guns in Sebastian where
he turned customers into friends.
Throughout
his life he was an avid hunter and fisherman; a present member of the National
Rifle Association.
His
beloved family include his wife of 53 years, Barbara; his son Paul E., III and
wife Veronica; his daughter Lana Denman and husband Ron; his son Tracy; and his
three granddaughters Tara, Chelsey and Vanessa. He was predeceased by his sister
Shirley Bassett earlier this year.
His
family is having a private memorial service. Contributions may be made to the
