Hey Guys.
Just wanted to reach out on behalf of the company, Our President wanted to share this with you all. I hope this brings peace to all mourning.
To our Uniden Scanner Partners
It is with tremendous regret to inform you all that Paul Opitz passed away this weekend, on Saturday evening the 28th of December. Paul, as many of you may know was battling cancer over the past 2 years. Paul had been receiving chemo and radiation treatments through his journey, and as recently as early in December. Unfortunately, Paul’s condition worsened just a couple of weeks ago and was admitted to UTSW hospital here in Dallas Texas. I was told that Paul died peacefully in the hospital surrounded by close family members.
It was Paul’s wishes to have a celebration of life rather than any funeral services. His family is planning this celebration to take place some time later in January at Paul’s favorite restaurant in Mansfield TX. Paul had made many donations to Cancer Research charities and in lieu of flowers any donations made to cancer research in Pauls’ name would be appreciated.
Paul had a significant impact within the scanner community. He was innovative, knowledgeable and had a special flare to convey his message in an informative and humorous manner. He left an indelible imprint in the industry and will be missed. We are working internally to forever memorialize Paul’s imprint with Uniden scanners- as he should not and will not be forgotten
I am truly sorry having to share this sad news during this time of year. Our hope is that we all remember Paul in the most happiest of times- and raise a toast to Paul over this New Years Celebration.
Sincerely
Uniden America Corporation
