Paul Pitts

I´m so sorry to be so far behind the passage of time! Yesterday I got out one of Paul´s books to reread. Today I looked for him on line-wondering if he still taught at Weber. I just want to say what a great teacher and mentor he was for my time at Weber! So sorry I didn´t think to look him up long ago, but remembering his teaching, reading and writing skills that meant so much to me. Best wishes. Sherry Baugh

I am so sorry to hear this news. He was a dear friend. RIP Paul

To know Paul was to love him! I had the privilege of working with him, teaching, in Montezuma Creek. He was well respected being nominated teacher of the year by his peers more than once.

"We exist temporarily through what we take but we live forever through what we give." ~Douglas M.Lawson My dear friend Paul, you gave and you gave. You shared your love of people through your teaching and by your example of a kind and caring person. So many of us were the recipient of your knowledge but most of all, we were the recipient of your caring and gentle nature. It is with tears that I say good-by , for a moment. My sincerest condolences go out to your family.

Professor Pitts was one of my favorite professors at Weber State Elementary. He taught my language arts course and was the most kind, gentle teacher. He modeled for his students what a teacher should be like. I will always remember when he read children's stories to us (he introduced me to Keven Henkes. Professor Pits wrote a letter of recommendation for me when I graduated from WSU. I respected and loved him immensely!

We were so sad to hear of the passing of Dr.Pitts. He was a very kind man with such a great heart. We always enjoyed conversations with him and Mrs. Putts. Praying for you and your family at this tender time. Judds

Our family sends our love and prayers. We appreciate his kindness and generosity-a true friend and neighbor.
