Paul M. Zopel

Love knows not its depth until the hour of departure.
An old friend

Paul was a giant among men. He taught my daughter not only how to play the piano but how to look at life with an edge of optimism and thoughtfulness that we rarely see anymore. His amount of patience in his lessons did not go without notice. Paul will be missed for sure but the part of him he gave away so readily will be with us forever. Happy trails Paul.We all are better off for your presence in our lives.

I have memories of Jazz jam sessions with Paul, Vincent and various other high school students in the basement of your home while I was in High School (1988-1992/Wausau East). Thank you for sharing your husband and father with many of us to teach and share his love of music!

To Mrs. Zopel and the entire Zopel family...I am so very sorry for your loss...Mr. Zopel was the epitome of a true gentleman and always treated me with such kindness and respect...I am really saddened to hear about this news...please know that all of you are in my thoughts and prayers and know that he was really a good "character" that I always liked speaking with, truly a wonderful person in so many ways.
Sincerely,
Robert B. Mielke
Mayor-City of Wausau

So sorry for your loss. He was my violin teacher for a couple of years at DC Everest. He was a kind man and will be missed.

I'm sorry to hear about Paul's passing. He was a good educator, and I enjoyed working with him very much. My condolences to his family. Allan Brusse

So sorry to learn of Paul's passing. I will always remember with much fondness teaching with Paul during our years together at D.C. Everest, and our breakfasts together at Tri-City restaurant. We will be in prayer for the family at this time.
