Kleinkramer passed away on December 8, 2024, at the age of 61, at his home in Exeter, after a two-year battle with esophageal cancer. He was born in Los Angeles on December 10, 1962, and grew up in Northridge and Wrightwood, CA. He was an active member of the San Fernando Valley Banjo Band from the age of 8 years old. He grew up enjoying antique cars with his father, George, and bought his first vintage car at the age of 15. He met his wife, Jane, in their senior year at Cleveland High School. They were married in 1984, before moving to San Luis Obispo to attend Cal Poly. Paul earned a B.S. in Electronic Engineering Technology, where he fell in love with repairing all things radio and the field of Broadcast Engineering.

He was also an avid target shooter and amateur radio operator. He enjoyed hiking and camping in the Sierra Nevada mountains, working on vintage cars, flying remote-controlled gliders with the Central Valley RC Soaring Club (CVRC), playing the ukulele with his daughters, barbecuing for his family & friends, and spending time with his family.
