Paul T. Sawyer

Paul was very kind and thoughtful. He gave me a ride when I needed one. He was with me at graduation when no one came to the graduation.

I am thankful for the kindness he, Carol, and Allen showed me while at the Un. of Vermont. He was a friend and a fraternity brother.

Dr. Sawyer was my biology professor at Montana Tech and a friend.

Paul and I also shared the joy of teaching natural science at the college level. My wife and I once spent a fine night with Paul at his cabin as we traveled to the Seattle area, and the following year he visited us in Iowa on his way East. Later through emails I came to appreciate Paul's sense of humor and interest in family history. I'll miss...

My thoughts and prayers go out to his family who will be comforted by the great out pouring of remembrances of an inspiring instructor, a mentor and man to make us all proud to have known him. Thank you for your time I tried to use it well.

My condolences!! He was a great professor and I valued his knowledge and love of science.

Paul was such a great guy and special teaching prof. He had a great patience with his students especially with my class as we had several more aged students who went back to school after being out of high school for several years. There were many gasps of horror in our classes when students messed up a lab experiment. Whether teaching or hosting friends and students to Moulton for skiing or softball tournaments he was such a really fun, fun guy. I did a few travel nursing contracts in the...
