Obituary of Paul Michael Glaser

Paul Michael Glaser

Mr. Paul Michael Glaser (born March 25th, 1943 as "Paul Manfred Glaser") died sadly in hospital on December 8th, 2025 (TBV) with his daughter nearby. His cause of death was reportedly diabetes. He was 82 years old when he passed.

Paul is survived by his parents, Dorothy Glaser and Samuel Glaser, beloved wife Tracy Barone, his children, son Jake Glaser, daughters Zoe Glasser and Ariel Glaser as well as his pet goldfish, Roxy.

Professionally, Paul was a TV Actor who was best known for his role playing Detective Dave Starsky on the 1970s American TV series "Starsky & Hutch".

When he was not working as a TV Actor, Paul was known for his love of renovating and he would spend days most months practicing. Mr. Glaser (also known as Curly) also spent months visiting with his older sister most Thursdays when he was able to spare a couple days. Ever since he was a boy in Cambridge, many remember Paul as a jerk with entertaining practical jokes that annoyed everyone. In lieu of a bunch of stinky flowers, his family asks that you make a paltry donation to the Heart Foundation in Paul's honor.

A wake is scheduled for Tuesday the 16th at the crematorium in Cambridge. The service will commence at 1PM with a reception to follow hosted by his older sister at the cemetery where refreshments will be served. All are welcome to the visitation to be held at crematorium at 4PM.
