&nbsp;Passed away on December 2, 2024. He was preceded in death by his parents, Raymond and Vibeke Solac, and his brother, Christopher. Paul grew up in Hastings and graduated from the University of Minnesota. His major was geography, but his interests and curiosity were diverse. He spent his life learning about the natural and built world. Paul was a passionate bicycle rider and logged more miles on his bicycle than in his auto. He biked to and from work and recreationally on many city and country trails he knew so well. Paul used his understanding of the mechanical sciences, together with his kind and friendly nature, in his 40- year career at Woodland Stoves and Fireplaces. He will be missed by his brothers Peter (Jean), Michael (Robin) and Thomas Solac, and sisters Mary Solac and Theresa Solac Welch (Michael) and Theresa’s children, Addy and Jo Welch. Memorial Service will be held on Monday, January 6, 2025 at 6 PM with visitation starting at 5 PM at Woodland Stoves and Fireplaces, 2901 E Franklin Ave, Mpls. www.Washburn-McReavy.com Hillside Chapel 612-781-1999<div></div><br>
