The Rev. Paul E. Grabill

Paul was a great pastor, thinker, spiritual leader, warrior, visionary, musician, and most of all dear friend! The Psalmist wrote: "Precious in the eyes of the Lord are the death of His saints!" It must have been a very precious day in heaven! I traveled with Paul for several summers in the late 70's to every small town on the map of PA - and several that were not on the map. I could fill countless pages telling stories of our antics (like Paul dancing with an Irish Setter one summer evening...

Arline, I met you last summer and you welcomed me into State College with such a love which made me feel closer too my own home. Every morning going into the airport, you shared a smile with me like no other. You even invited me into your church home and family home and though I never had the opportunity to make it...I want you to know that were like a mom away from home. My heart hurts for your lost and I only wish that I could be right next to you, to give you the biggest hug ever and...

Arline and family,
I have known Paul since he was a young teen at Living Waters Camp and have always held him in the highest regard. My wife and I thought very highly of him. He preached the funeral message and you sang at Uncle Frank's funeral. We are deeply saddened at his passing and it is with love and deep sympathy that we pray that the God of all comfort will comfort your family and us all. We will have a wonderful reunion some day. May God bless your family richly.

Dear Arline,
We send our love and prayers to you today. We have fond memories of Paul and we are praying that God will keep you in His care and grace as you walk through this transition without him. We send our love...

For Arline, Rob and Ireida, and Ryan: My deepest sympathy and prayers are with you all in this time. He was one of the best men I have met in my life, and someone that I still hold dear to my heart. It's been a couple of years since I've been back to SCAOG, but some of my best memories and lessons were in that church under his leadership. He has helped my family in countless ways over the years, especially with my mom. For that I am eternally grateful to have had Paul and the entire Grabill...

Dear, Arline, Rob, & Ryan

I'm sorry for the loss of Pastor Paul. He has been in everyones prayers now for a long time as he battled cancer and he fought hard. We don't know why God has taken Pastor to be with him, but we do know that he is no longer suffering in any way, and I pray that God gives your family peace and strenght.
Sincerely,
Jared Gansauer
