Paul Chabria

Paul R. Chabria, age 87, of La Grange Park, IL passed away on
Wednesday, August 10, 2022. He was an inventor and businessman
who loved people and was passionate about his family. Beloved
husband of Meena Chabria for 64 years, loving father of Raj (Kathy)
Chabria and Mony (Rose) Chabria, and doting grandpa to Jarrad, Claire,
Delaney, and Zoe. Paul is survived by brothers John, Manu, Kani, and
Nat and sisters Rani and Meera. He was preceded in death by parents
Ramchand and Laxmi and brothers Pahlajrai (Dada), Girdhari,
Murlidhar, Bihari, and Ashok. He was the cherished uncle to many
nieces and nephews.

Throughout his life, Paul was generous, always the first to offer help to
someone in need – a family member, a friend, and even strangers. He
patented many designs during his lifetime, the most notable being a
squeeze flashlight for which he founded a successful business that
lasted several decades. He was always ready to provide a free flashlight
to almost anyone he met! He enjoyed scotch whiskey, automobiles,
and the opportunity to tinker around the house. His exuberance was
contagious and, being very social, he had many friends. His smile
brightened the lives of many and he will live forever in our hearts.
In lieu of flowers, contributions to the Alzheimer’s Association would be appreciated.
