Paul VanMeter

Nice person friend. We always talked when we saw each other.God Bless Paul !!

Going to school with Paul and doing projects with him . I always noticed his attention to detail. His love of trains was with him from 6 years old . That's all Paul was interested in talking about. I had always saw Paul as a engineer on a train going from the east coast to the west coast . I am shore Paul is riding the west bound trains as I write this . A very good friend in grade school and high school. over the years running into his mother .We would talk.. she would always tell me stop...

I worked for Paul when I was 19 years old at Flowers by Van Meter. We didn't always see eye to eye and weren't close. Every so often we'd bump into each other over the years and do an impromptu catch up. Last was late december 2010, and he was so proud of me for moving to new york city, he was so excited to tell me about the his work with the highline and plans for philly. We were like old friends, and i was really looking forward to our next catchup. Until then Paul, Peace to you.

Hello Chris. I was stunned and saddened to hear the news that Paul had passed on. We'll miss him. Hope your O K. Please accept our condolences and extend them to family and Friends.

Condolences to chrIs and the family .

I remember Paul as a wonderfully inquisitive and optimistically cheerful young high school student who always brought a ray of sunshine with him wherever he went.
I just know that all who knew Paul are sincerely mournful of his way too earlier passing.

Paul was a staple supporter of our vibrant community and I will miss his black-framed glasses that saw way more than most.

Paul was a dedicated and very hard worker on the American Freedom Train's epic 21 month journey to all 48 states. His love for railroading and nature were always self evident. May he rest in peace. Ross Rowland, Founder, American Freedom Train Foundation, Inc.

Paul,
I already miss you on all the future trips we will make to your gardens.
