Not sure what to say?

Just a note to let you know what a wonderful and spiritual man your father was. We certainly enjoyed knowing and being is his presence. He and Shelley are the grandparents of our grandchildren! We will truely miss them as we also miss our son-in-law, Dave.
Our sympathies.

Paul and Shelley were some of the finest people we have ever known. Their posterity is an example of hard and good work that will live on as a testiment of their love and christlike attributes. We first met Paul and Shelley in 1975 when we purchased a lot in the Ranchetts, and they were instant friends for life. Paul was inspired in that development and many a family is better because of it. Please accept our sympathy in the loss of your dear father Paul. We have all lost a dear friend.


Dearest Liz:

We extend to you our deepest sympathies in the loss of your dear father. He has left you a great legacy and example to follow. You truly are blessed with goodly parents who have loved you and taught you in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. And as long as we have known you, you have brought great honor to your parents through your faithfulness.
We know you will miss your father greatly but we also know of your deep testimony of the Gospel and it's...

Paul must have been a wonderful man. I worked with his awesome son David @ Big Valley Plumbing here in SLC and in Las Vegas when he past away. We love and miss Dave too. Our Love and sympathies to your family.

Paul was always helpful to me when I was the Assistant to G. Homer Durham and he was President Olpin's Assistant at the University of Utah. I kept his model in mind when I became Assistant to the President at George Washington University. His book, Crisis on Campus is a important chronicle of the University.

Paul is one of the finest men that my husband and I have known. His combination of intelligence, wisdom, kindness, humor, and goodness make him a truly great man. We feel honored, blessed and privileged to have known him. Our best wishes go to his family.

Paul was one of the last surviving friends of my parents, Feramorz Horne Bennion and Flora Stewart Bennion. They enjoyed many an hour together. He was also in the same part of Europe when my father was there. I carefully read his book about the expansion of the University of Utah that he gave my parents. My best wishes to his family.

We have been pleased to know and love Paul during this past year of service in the 3rd Branch of the Midvalley Stake (Canyon Creek Care Center). His humor and witt will always be remembered. His autobiograpy "My Several Lives" is an inspiration to anyone who reads it.

We will always cherish the times we spent with Paul in his small apartment and his special smile.

We will miss you - till we meet again.
