Paul A. Meints

I just learned of Paul´s passing and want to express my condolences. I stayed at Paul´s for four weeks in 1995, when I took part in a student exchange program. I was 26, Paul about as old as I am now. I remember when he took me to the Dave Davis Mansion, the Threshermen`s Reunion in Peoria, and the restaurant Bayern Stube in Gibson City for my 27th birthday. I knew Paul ad generous, supportive, trustful, amicable and hard working. It makes me sad he is gone. Peter from Paderborn, Germany

I am just hearing about this now, I am heart broken. I have been living in Florida for a few months, so I have lost touch with my BMI connection. Paul did an incredible amount of work for my family. Not only was he my families attorney and CPA, he was my friend. I remember long talks with Paul in his back porch or his office. Paul helped me during personal struggles, and he was always spot on when it came to my business. I love you Paul, you will be missed, God Bless.

Paul was very helpful with me and my brother, William. He was a wonderful man!

We are so sorry to hear of Paul´s passing. He was an amazing person, and we were so glad to have had the chance to work with him. He was patient, kind and generous with his advice and time. He will be missed. Our thoughts and prayers will be with his family.

I can never forget Paul: His family was my first and only host family back to 1990, when I just came in as an international student at ISU, though I didn´t really stay in his house. Besides his busy job and young kids, he took a lot of care of me: often invited me home for dinner, helped me with my bicycle problems, and even corrected my paper... He always talked in a gentle tone with a smile as if he had never learned how to raise his voice! That´s why his kids were very nice and sweet too!...

Paul has been a friend for over 40 years. From tennis, to skiing, softball, taxes and as an attorney he did it all in his gentle manner. A more knowledgable man does not exist. WE will miss you Paul but am sure we will meet again!

I´ve never met a man with more character, kindness, and as giving as this very knowledgeable and humble Man! We all loved him and I personally feel a tremendous loss! I am more than comfortable as to where my friend has gone. He´s gone home to our lord Jesus and certain we will see Paul again. I´m more than grateful for having such a gentleman and associate In my life and now pray for his lovely Wife Julie! This dynamic pair enhanced my life more than I could ever repay! I will always...

Always a gentle man, obviously a kind person by nature. This should be a part of his legacy as much as his legal expertise.
