Not sure what to say?

Paul Koelliker was a dear family friend/neighbor who lived across the street from me my whole life and am friends with a lot of his kids and grandkids. Paul always had a smile on his face no matter what even in when he wasn´t feeling great and I know that I could walk across the street and talk to Paul about anything that was on my mind and he would sit down and listen and would counsel me and made me a better me and I am grateful for him and his dear family. RIP Paul

We will always remember with great love, stepping off the plane in Johannesburg, South Africa, and seeing the beautiful, smiling faces of Paul and Ann Koelliker, when escorting our son Levi on his trip to his final continent trip. Our love for the entire Koelliker family goes back decades, and our hearts go out to each and every one of you. Elder Koelliker is truly the kindest, most genuine, and gentle man we have ever had the privilege to know. Our lives have been blessed by knowing him!...

I was the first in line to come shake their hand and they both gave me the biggest hug. Much to the surprise of all the other missionaries. It was such a tender mercy at that time in my mission service to have them assigned to my mission to visit....

What a beautiful tribute to such an amazing man! He has built such a legacy, and it continues in the goodness of his children. I will always remember his kind smile at any function he attended to support Jenni, and his love for Africa! We love you Koeliker family - your dad really is the best!

I grew up with their family. One of my most memorable memories was when he came to speak in Stake Conference in Beaverton, OR, while we were living there. I sent a message to the Stake President begging to make sure I met up with him before he went home. He waited for me to give him a hug and visit before he headed back to his hotel room. It meant so much to me. He is a kind and gentle man. His love for others was very obvious and you knew it. He always went the extra mile to make sure you...
