Paul BANG

Dad, I got to speak at your funeral. You are the one that gave me courage to do it. You said you owed Mom a talk from you. I said I owed you a talk. Everyone said I did a good job. I'm glad, because YOU ARE TRULY a hero to me. I'm so glad I picked YOU out in our premortal life.
See you around campus,
Love, Linda BIC Ludlow

Paul Bang was a fixture in my life. He attended my baptism when i didn't even know who he was. He taught the ysa Sunday school class when i was a leader. He gave me my patriarchal blessing. I had the great privilege and honor to have him preside at my marriage in the Chicago Temple.



My mother, to her dying day spoke about the time that Paul and Stan Fish came to the house and did some repairs as service.(and back then, she didn't even like the church.) I'm. so going to...

Bishop Bang of the Cincinnati 2nd Ward was my priesthood leader when I was a priest and then, in 1966, the one who interviewed me to be ordained an elder and to serve a mission. I knew he loved me. And I love him. He was as fine an example of discipleship as I have ever known. I was able to visit with him this past November when I was in Mesa, AZ when my mother passed away. Paul spoke of how much he missed Connie. I am happy for them--enduring well, leaving a legacy and graduating with...

Linda and I send our condolences to his family and trust their faith will see them through.

I will always remember the wonderful experience I had when I received my patriarchal blessing from Patriarch Bang. He was an amazing, gifted, and spiritual servant of The Lord. Thank you for your great example and influence. May The Lord bless your family as you have greatly blessed mine and many others.

Patriarch Paul Bang: A giant among the great Sequoias has slipped through the veil. He was great here, and he is great there! He will be great throughout the eternities. Words cannot adequately express how he has influenced my life for the better. He baptized me. He gave me my Patriarchal Blessing. He ordained me an elder. I cannot say enough good about this wonderful man. He was humble, wise, faithful, loyal, and obedient. It's interesting how the name of "Captain Moroni" slips...

What an influence Patriarch Bang had on my life, as a Bishop, Patriarch, and example of Gospel living. He was always kind, sincere, and when he spoke, you knew he was that close to the spirit. May all of the family feel the love of those who were privileged to know him.
