Paul was a colleague of mine. As local broadcasters in Tacoma, our paths crossed from time to time. We had many similarities. I had great respect for his professional work as a broadcaster.
His voice quality was outstanding for the many kinds of opportunities that came his way. He was a true gentleman. Paul was also highly regarded for his experience and achievements. I am saddened that he has passed on.

Paul will be missed by many. Though I didn't get to hear the AiO series, I do remember, fondly, the voice of his many characters, as we read scripts aloud with other theater fans, in living rooms across Pierce County. Every one of those evenings were special. All our best to Ilona, Mark, Teresa, and Glenn.

My condolences to Mr. Herlinger's family. We have been listening for years to Adventures in Odyssey and recently realized Whit's voice was different. We loved the loving, gentle, grandfatherly voice that shared such Godly wisdom with the people of Odyssey and all of us listeniing...He will be missed. God Bless.

We will miss Paul so very much. We enjoyed seeing him with Ilona every 6 weeks or so, with him talking with our cats, making over them and always smiling - a wonderful man who will not be forgotten
