We remember his warm smile and gentle chuckle!

I had many fond memories of working with Paul in 4-H. I was the girl's leader, and he was the boys. He was a wonderful example to young people. I worked at the Vet School and always enjoyed his smile. He came to our farm and worked on our cattle and when I had a few cows on my own he was always willing to bring students out to my modest few. I was his children's 4-H leader, and they were a treasure to work with. May he enjoy a sweet reprise somewhere in the beyond.

Sorry to see a fremd and colleague succumb to this never ending disease. God rest.

What a wonderful gentleman! A teacher, a mentor, a friend and well, he ( and all of his family), was family! I know my parents thought of him as family as well. Much love an d big hugs to you all!

Deepest sympathies to Margot and to Paul‘s family on the loss of a great man He did really love to do I worked at Fort Dodge animal health and all the veterinarians that I came across were students of Paul And they had such great words to Sam about him He was a neighbor to my best friend And we shared some times.
He was a gentlest kindest man and knowledgeable that I’ve known And he will be deeply missed But his memories will persist He was so in love with his love of his life and...

I first met Dr. Eness in 1978 when I started working at the veterinary college. He was always welcoming, friendly and respectful of me as colleague. At that time, not everyone was like that with women in our profession. Our offices were next to one another, and he always had a cheerful greeting for me and would occasionally seek my advice for companion animal problems.

In 1982 we bought a farm about 5 miles from Gilbert, where Paul grew up. He took quite an interest in this...

Margot, I was extension swine specialist at ISU and got to spend time with Paul. He always treated me and others like we were the most important people aground. Condolences, Palmer Holden

Paul has been one of our dearest friends for over 20 years, and will be missed so very much. Margo, their kids and grandkids are all wonderful too! No matter how he was doing physically Paul would always greet us with a huge beaming smile when he'd see us. Our paths crossed so many wonderful ways - spouses, birthday dinners, restaurant outings (before COVID-19), mushroom hunting, taking in and loving our dear cat named Stirfry, lamb, letting our son visit and of course, CyClone Womens'...

Bob and Kathy Means want to send our sympathy to Margot and Paul's family. Bob first knew Paul when we were in the AGR house. Paul was a couple years older. He was two years ahead of Bob in Vet school and later he recommended Bob for a position in ambulatory at the ISU Vet school and we worked together from 1969 - 1972. Wish we had kept in better contact over the years. Bob and Kathy Means, Grand Lake, Colorado.
