He was a kind and generous man, dedicated to his wife Aileen of 35 years and will remain in out hearts forever. Paul was a resident of Temecula, California at the time of passing. ---- Bryan Bee - RIP Paul Belisle, I read today on Facebook post that he passed away in 2017. Paul was a childhood motorcycle buddy, we raced speedway bicycles as children at El Modena High School Track and of course I won a lot, but once we had a speedway racer who was dating his sister come watch us race our bikes speedway, Sumner McNight and he was one of the riders who I idolized and I made sure I won when Sumner was watching. We also rode bicycles off Paul’s house on second story into his pool in Orange. Paul got a speedway bike before me, as he proudly displayed his speedway bike in the back of his green Jeep truck, and I idolized Paul for racing speedway, so I saved my money from paper route and bought my first speedway bike from Danny Becker at age 16. By age 17 I was a division 1 rider and Paul remained my friend, we raced at Santa Ana Bowl and he would always move over when I came up from behind him on my bee bike. Paul was a true friend, good,guy, and inspired me to start racing speedway, maybe out of jealousy I got a speedway bike, because Paul got his race bike first. Neighborhood buddy, Paul was a really fun guy to go motorcycle riding with, running around his mansion home, and I’ll tell the story of his CZ 125 to anyone who wants to know, but I wonder what happened to Paul and I always wanted to connect with him, I tried several times, but was sad to hear he passed away a couple years ago. A truly good guy, Paul Belisle, parents owned Belisle’s Restaurant over towards Disneyland but sold it as that area developed, and everyone moved away. I think Paul lived in Montana or something on a ranch? But he was a true childhood friend, I’ve always missed him and wished we could have remained friends as adults. We were both little goof offs as kids, but he was a great guy, RIP Paul. ----- Eddie Castro - Whoa didn’t know he had Passed Bummer! Raced with him at Costa Mesa and loved there Restaurant in Garden Grove it was at Corner of Chapman and Harbour Great Food and Healthy servings R.I.P. Paul saying a prayer for ya now and we’ll always remember giant strawberry shortcake of The Restaurants! Pam Pinky Bennett - R. I. P. Paul. Some of my friends may remember Paul raced speedway with us back in the day.
