Paulo Emanuele, 46, of Pacific Palisades died on a flight from Santa Monica Airport at 5 p.m. on Wednesday, January 28. Paulo, along with another passenger, were heading out on one of his many flights along the beautiful coast that he called home. Immediate family survivors include Paulo’s beautiful daughter, Eden, of Pacific Palisades; his parents, Anna Louise Fournet and Peter Vincent Emanuel of Lafayette, Louisiana; and his brothers Christopher John (wife Anne Bellipanni Emanuele) of Rayne, Louisiana and Philip Vincent Emanuele of Atlanta, Georgia. Paulo is also survived by his girlfriend, Stephanie Quayle, and an extensive and loving family of 32 first cousins as well as aunts and uncles in Lafayette, Louisiana; Westerly, Rhode Island; and Northern California. Paulo was born in Shreveport, Louisiana on August 9, 1962. He attended high school at Jesuit-now Loyola College Prep in Shreveport and continued his education at Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge. While at LSU, Paulo was an active and contributing member of the local chapter of Sigma Alpha Epsilon, as well as many other educational and social organizations. After college, Paulo joined Motorola, Inc., in the Annapolis/Washington, D.C. region. He moved with the company to the San Diego area and stayed there until the calling for more entrepreneurial ventures took control. While in San Diego, Paulo opened the popular Green Circle Bar. However, his true love came with his direct relationship with Demand Media and his position of general manager of Airliners.net as well as other aviation-based Web sites. Along with his love of flying, Paulo also established and was active up to his death with the Air Conditioned Bar in Santa Monica and San Diego and the Air Conditioned Supper Club in Venice Beach. Paulo was a profound lover of animals and always had one near his side. This included many dogs that he rescued from his trips to the beautiful beaches of Punta Chivato in Baja, Mexico. While Paulo will be missed, his spirit will be found on any given day along the coast of this beautiful area of Southern California. The family of Paulo wishes to express their profound gratitude to all those who called and wrote to them during this time, and especially to the love and hope given to them by the Corpus Christi Church in Pacific Palisades, the friends and patrons of Santa Monica Airport, and the community of Santa Monica, Pacific Palisades and San Diego.
