Paul Joo Obituary

Paul Shalom Joo, of Ames, returned to God Thursday, Jan. 4, at University of Iowa Hospital. Memorial services were held Jan. 7 at Ames Korean Methodist Church.

We thank the people of the Ames community and the state of Iowa who showed bottomless support for Paul. We'd like to express our appreciation to Mary Greeley Hospital and McFarland Clinic, and among many doctors, Dr. Paschen and the nurses who worked for Paul for more than 10 years. We thank Paul's Meeker School, Ames Middle School and Ames High School teachers, and Iowa State University faculty and friends who gave us a lot of encouragement. We greatly appreciate Paul's church, Pastor Yuk, Pastor Kang and Pastor Dr. Jenks.

All of Paul's savings have been donated to the Ames community. Paul prayed to God that our family members treat each other with sincere respect. We appreciate everyone who loved Paul in his life.

Paul Joos' family: Young, Yun, Daniel and Nick.
