Paul S. Anik

June 20, 1954-January 27, 2009. Beloved husband of Barbara, father to Vanessa and Ben, brother to Andrew and Arthur, son-in-law of Selma and Arnold Patent. Growing up in New York, Paul came to Southern California in the late 1970's to pursue a highly successful general business transactional law practice, specializing in the computer services industries. He was a much loved and highly respected partner of several major Los Angeles law firms including Mitchell, Silberberg & Knupp, Alschuler Grossman Stein & Kahan, and, most recently, Dreier, Stein & Kahan.

Paul was originally, and always remained, a Brooklyn boy. He collected and reviewed mystery novels, was a wine enthusiast, played many sports, was an avid photographer and had a passion for musical theatre. He was a tireless volunteer at Temple Aliyah of Woodland Hills.

Paul lived his life fully, vibrantly and with passion. Known for his Rice Krispie treats and pancake breakfasts, he had a cousin in every port and knew someone wherever he traveled. His sudden death at age 54 on January 27, 2009, was a terrible shock and has rocked the worlds of those who were lucky enough to have known him.
