Paul Wozniak

I first met Paul just after my first daughter was born, and what was always beautifully clear was the love he had for his three children. He had a soft warmth and a quiet wisdom to him that made him a pleasure to be around. He will be missed dearly by all.

The Paul I knew the best was Paul the volunteer - always there at school and sports events. It was great to see him outdoors at Garfield cross-country meets and helping in the kitchen at the Garfield auction dinner. What a wonderful model of generosity for our kids. We will miss his quiet smile and helping hand.

What stands out for me about Paul is his generosity. He could often be found helping at school and community events, and usually behind the scenes -- a reflection of his modest, unassuming way. The large gathering of friends and neighbors who honored him today represented the many overlapping circles of communities and individuals that he touched. Personally, I will miss his friendly smile, his easygoing manner, and the conversations we had over the years about our children's lives. He...

Sweet Diane and Family... With joy I recall talking with Paul at the grocery store, seeing you out walking, the warmth of his smile and generosity of his spirit that infected all who interacted with him.

Time spent with Paul was always a GREAT time; so generous in thought, spirit and energy. Know you are both loved and missed.

My heart sank when I heard the news of Paul's passing and remember that feeling well. Having taught Hayley, Hanna, and Chris I was able to really get to know the Wozniaks and you couldn't help but love this family. They truly are one of my all time favorite families that has come through our school. Even after the kids were long gone from elementary school, I would still run into Paul and Diane at social events and it was always a treat for me to see them as they always had smiles on their...

I remember visiting Hayley or Hanna and we would always end up spending time with the rest of the family because they were such good company. I often got lost trying to leave their house so Paul, even at midnight, would jump in his car and have me follow him as he lead the way to the freeway. Paul was such an amazing, caring, nurturing person that I'm sure every person he has every met he has touched their heart in some positive way.

I will always remember a smiling Paul bounding around the grounds of N Sid Sen, often with Chris on his back! His joy was infectious, and his love and care for the beautiful and amazing Hanna, Hayley, Chris and Diane was palpable. All of us in the Whitlock/Baker family will miss him greatly.

I am so very sorry to hear about Paul. Paul and I were friends in high school(he tried to teach me to play tennis!!) He was so kind and patient. My deepest sympathy to Diane and his children. May your wonderful memories give you some peace during this difficult time.
