Paul Meyer

Like many of us who rowed at UW, Paul was a "shock-trooper", designed not to be the star but the person who pushed others to be better than they ever imaged possible. I came to know Paul through old timer rowing in the last year but was reminded each time out about his strength of character and tenacity to leave big puddles with each stroke. Paul was a good listener above his noteworthy professional accomplishments and personal passions. Paul has left a "big puddle" for each of us to...

Paul and I became reacquainted in 2004 while planning our 50th High School Reunion. He relished the connection with classmates and accepted any responsibility asked of him with great enthusiasm. We started having yearly reunions and his presence brought great happiness to all. I will miss his friendship.

Paul was my dorm advisor in Terry Hall on the U of W campus in 1959-60. Over the years, I was aware of his outstanding career in public service at the county and state levels. About twenty years ago, we reunited in a group of men that meets for breakfast every Thursday and, after jabbering as men do, we study the Bible readings for the coming Sunday in churches around the world. During my wife's declining health, Paul would stop by with a casserole and make sure I knew he was available to...

Paul was a loyal member of the Seattle Civic Band for many years. He developed his music reading skills and tackled the formidable task of learning the treacherous paths of the Fr.

I sat beside Paul in the Seattle Civic Band French horn section performing over the years at the Fourth of July Ballard locks, Wallingford Wurst Festival, and the Salvation Army Red Kettle concerts. Every time Paul greeted me with the warmest of hellos. He was entertaining with his stories of the joys and perils of his travels, and a true gentleman to the core. Please someone add the best picture ever of the horn section in the garden at the locks, with dignified Paul anchoring that...

I had the privilege of making a pilgrimage to the Holy Land with Paul & Jody in December 2017/January 2018. While our time together was short, I was profoundly impacted by Paul in so many ways -- his love of God...his love for Jody...his kindness, compassion, patience and sense of humor. I look forward to the time when we can celebrate the life of this remarkable man at Epiphany Seattle. Until then, I wish Jody and all who loved Paul peace.
