Paul D. Longhofer

I taught at East High School during the time Paul was principal there. He was not only an excellent principal, he was personable every day, and always available if we had concerns. My thoughts are with his family during this difficult time.

Jan,
May the memories, love of friends, family, and your Faith carry you through your grief. I met both you and Paul at Chapel Hill. I knew that Paul was involved not only in our church, the Salvation Army, community leadership, but that he had held many positions in USD-259. But it wasn't until reading Paul's obituary notice, that Eddy and I realized, that Paul was likely the Principal at Truesdell when Eddy was a student there. I chuckled and told Eddy that it was a good thing he had...

I knew Paul as a professional for many years when he served the children in the Wichita Public Schools. Paul was well-respected and admired.

Stan and family, I am so sorry to learn of your loss. I always enjoyed meeting Dr. Paul around town over the years. Even decades after my graduation from East High, he always remembered me and asked about my family. He will forever be a part of the fond memories I have of my senior year at East High. You have my prayers and sympathy.

Paul was a true people-person. He didn't know a stranger. As a reporter I was always confident that what he told me was exactly the way things were. My prayers are with his family.

Dr. Longhofer hired me to teach Typing at North when I moved back to Wichita after college. Enjoyed very much being under his leadership. Thanks for believing in me.

....A wonderful man who always helped our family in a caring, giving, loving and kind manner. Paul had a wonderful sense of humor and always brought a great positive influence to every situation. Annelies and I send our deepest sympathies to Jan and the whole family.
Much Love, Stan and Annelies Davis (Paul and Jan's cousins)

Paul was so blessed to have you, Jan, in his life through marriage for 60 years. I only met Paul once, as he was helping prepare for a lunch you were hosting. He seemed so kind. What an accomplished life he led. Sending you all my love and a hug Jan. Love, Shelly

Jan, Kirk and Stan, I have many wonderful memories of the years I work with Paul at East High. He was dedicated to his work, the Wichita community, his church and you, his cherished family. My deepest sympathy.
