Hundreds of harbor patrol officers, police and fire officials from throughout California will lead a procession to Ventura’s Ivy Lawn Memorial Park on Saturday after the funeral service for Ventura Harbor Patrol Officer Paul Korber.
Korber drowned Sunday trying to save a woman and two children carried out to sea by a riptide.
The service will be held at 1:30 p.m. at Ventura Missionary Church, 500 Highpoint Drive.
Korber, 45, will be buried alongside his wife, Cindy, who died of cancer in 1995 and who also had been a Harbor Patrol officer.
Said Port District operations manager Scott Miller, “Paul exemplified everything that was good in a human.”
Korber leaves a 9-year-old son, Barrett. The Ventura Port District, in conjunction with the Bank of Ventura, has established the “Paul Korber Memorial Fund” to benefit Barrett.
Donations may be made to the fund in care of the Bank of Ventura, 5808 E. Telephone Road, Ventura 93003. For more information, call 644-8136.
