He began his long career with the Fort Bend Independent School District 1976 in
the Operations Department, where he enjoyed working for 26 years until his retirement in 2002. Upon retirement, Paul enjoyed sharing more of his time with his children and grandchildren, taking spontaneous road trips along the back roads of Texas, going for walks and riding around town with Bear, and cheering on all of his favorite teams, the Dulles Vikings (GO BIG RED!), his "dear old" Texas Aggies (WHOOP! GIG 'EM!), the Houston Texans (and Oilers), and the Houston Astros. Paul was a great man with a wonderful lust for life and will be greatly missed by his family, friends, and Bear, but all are grateful to The Good Lord for the wonderful time they were blessed to have with him during his journey here, and look forward to joining him again someday when The Lord chooses to call them home.
He is survived by his son, Derwin Robert Thomas Syzdek and wife Katherine Suzanne Syzdek; daughters, Kathryn Mae Stone and husband Bryan Taylor Stone, and Angela Kristine Barri and husband Eduardo Barri; grandchildren, Lauren Elyse Syzdek-Corredor and husband Cameron Corredor, Riley Nicole Syzdek, Arianna Kristine Barri, Krystal Reanna Stone, Cooper Thomas Syzdek, Kailey Taylor Stone, and Casey Noble Syzdek; brothers, Bernard Syzdek and wife Bernadine, Robert Lee Syzdek, Andrew J.

Dad, it's been almost a year and I miss you so much. There is a whole in my life that will never be filled. The kids are getting big and life keeps going - I have many stories and updates to share with you when we meet again.
I love you as much as ever- I miss your silly jokes, sports updates and trivial facts.
Save a spot for me in heaven, until then I'll try to make you proud down here on Earth.
On behalf of my entire family, I want to thank you and your staff for your excellent and caring service.
