I just heard from his sister that Paul Jelonek died of cancer. We grew up together in Rhodesia and, though I have not seen him for years, I believe he was a PH in Tanzania. If it is a different Paul Jelonek, please excuse my error. Cheers. | ||

I met Paul about eight years ago, & had heard that his wife had cancer. Don't know about Paul. Last I heard he lived in Franklin, North Carolina with his wife & sister-in-law. He & his wife were wonderful people; he loaned me his sat phone when I hunted Australia a few years ago. ____________________________ .470 & 9.3X74R Chapuis' Tikka O/U 9.3X74R Searcy Classics 450/.400 3" & .577 C&H .375 2 1/2" Krieghoff .500 NE Member Dallas Safari Club | |||

Paul died Saturday, August 16 in Franklin, NC. The Macon Funeral Home in Franklin is handling the arrangements. Paul was born in the United Kingdom, served in the Rhodesion Military, & was a farmer & PH who hunted in Tanzania. He was 57 years old. I remember that he was quite a lion hunter, having guided a few clients that took possibly top ten world record lions. He & his wife, Dee, were a joy to know. He is survived by Dee & his children. ____________________________ .470 & 9.3X74R Chapuis' Tikka O/U 9.3X74R Searcy Classics 450/.400 3" & .577 C&H .375 2 1/2" Krieghoff .500 NE Member Dallas Safari Club | |||

I hunted for lion with Paul in Tanz in 2008. He was a really capable PH and a pleasure to be with. I will always remember his stories about the civil war. He was a man of action. His wife Dee is a delightful person and always upbeat. I believe he had a son here in the States and a daughter that lived in England. I believe Paul quit the business that year as he opened a convenience store/gas station/restaurant in Franklin (or nearby). He was the man with the plan that always produced. His two trackers were Rashidi and Mozingo. I too believe that his clients had taken approximately 10 record lions. Mine was a beauty. His knowledge of dangerous game hunting is unparalleled. He will be missed. Dutch | |||

Paul was my ph on my first safari in 1990. Very special event. Sad to hear about his passing. ...I say that hunters go into Paradise when they die, and live in this world more joyfully than any other men. -Edward, duke of York ". . . when a man has shot an elephant his life is full." ~John Alfred Jordan "The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance." Cicero - 55 BC "The smallest minority on earth is the individual. Those who deny individual rights cannot claim to be defenders of minorities." - Ayn Rand Cogito ergo venor- KPete “It is not from the benevolence of the butcher, the brewer, or the baker, that we expect our dinner, but from their regard to their own self-interest. We address ourselves, not to their humanity but to their self-love, and never talk to them of our own necessities but of their advantages.” ― Adam Smith - “Wealth of Nations” | |||
