Paul Yusaf Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on May 21, 2011.
The first set of twins was born in Rev. Dr. and Mrs. Nazir Yusaf's family in Pakistan. One of the twin's name was given from the New Testament after apostle Paul while the other got his name from the Old Testament. Paul was born in Pakistan and went to a Christian School and later to the college for his two bachelor's degrees : in Arts and Education. During most of the professional years of his life in Pakistan, he assisted in managing and teaching his family-owned school .
God had a plan for Paul to have another educationist is his life as his spirit-mate – Esther! Paul and Esther were married in May of 1994 in Pakistan. Esther joined Paul to live in America after their marriage and Lord blessed them with two beautiful daughters – Ruth and Merab. Paul and Esther laid the foundation of a Christian home. They had been doing their very best to live-out the live-in Christ among the family and friends. Paul worked for retailing industry for most of his years of service in America. His work at Cash and Carry during past many years is worth noting where he share the love of Christ among his co-workers and customers. Soon it developed into a reciprocal relationship and built a family-kind-of setting.
Some of the true stories of this unique business relationship came to know when his customers and co-workers visited him in the hospital when few months ago, Paul was diagnosed of Cancer in his brain. The personal experiences shared by customers and co-workers about the outpouring of Christian love of Paul among his co-workers and customers is a testimony of Paul's depth and living approach of his Christian Faith. He understood that God has a plan and purpose for his children in the temporal world to glorify Him in and through their lives. Paul, indeed, carried on the this legacy of Jesus Christ which was dedicatedly followed by his forefathers. We thank God for his life here in this world and pray that God may continually be glorified through his entire family.

Losing my daddy is one of the most difficult things I have gone through. As I am standing up here today, I realize how fortunate I was to have him as my Father. There are not words to express his impact in my life. My daddy was a great, loving, sweet, smart, responsible, funny and always laughing dad! No matter how many words I use to describe him, it won’t be enough .For me he was my whole universe. He was more than just a friend. I could always share all my feelings with him. He was the best support and guidance .Even when he was sad he would forget his feelings and cheer the next person up in a blink of an eye. He was always thinking of others .Whenever we would have small fights he would always end up feeling sad and we would always apologize only a little after the fight. He could never bare anyone’s pain. He was always joking around. Always smiling, never sad, or never complained. Even when he woke up early in the morning and fell asleep late at night he always woke up with no complains. When he woke up in the morning he would always make sure to spend at least an hour praying and praising the LORD. When I grow up I want to be just like daddy spiritually. I love you daddy, and you will always live on in our memories and in our hearts.
-Yours truly Ruth Yusaf

Dear Paul, I can never forget the days when my father was sick and your all family was with me day and night to look after him. I can never repay what you all did. Paul was very humble and loving brother. No one can replace him. May God bless his wife Rubina and his two daughters. May they be blessed with all worldly and heavenly gifts always. I also share my sympathy with with Noel and family, Obed and family, Jammy and family, Nobi and family. I know through which grief all of you are passing these days but we have hope to b with Paul and all loved ones one day who departed from us before him. May the peace of Our Lord b with you all now and ever. Zenobia, daud and Joy join me to share their sympathy and love with all of u. God bless you all. Yours brother, DR. John

My dear Paul, Life is not the same without you. You are terribly missed. Thanks for leaving behind beautiful memories of love, humor, care and sacrifice. You were, indeed, one of a kind of a guy. Seems time went by so fast. Looking forward to see you one day in our Lord's Mansion. I kind of envy you in that respect. Love you brother!

Paul Chacha wasn’t just my uncle he was my second father.
He worried when I didn’t eat or when Abel teased
He made sure I never had even a single bother
Our successes, even tiny ones, to him did please
Always joking never provoking
Always joyful and glad
I sometimes would think, “why cant he be my real dad, for he never gets mad”
He was the best of all guys .
So many questions arise.
Why did God have to let him die?
Why did He make my saintly- aunt cry?
Who now is going to talk to my dad on the phone for hours?
Who now is going to scold Ruth for her long showers?
Who now is going to compliment my mom’s cooking even before taking a bite?
Who now is going to teach Merab how to fly a Kite?
Who now is going to sleep during every long prayer?
Who now will help Bena Chachi in the Daycare?
Who now will take so long tying their shoes?
Who now is going to mess up my hair and tell me “I love you.”
Though I don’t have the answers to these questions
I do know that God answers prayers.
Even now I do believe, even as I grieve
I know that He has given His Word,
Which tells me prayer is always heard,
And will be answered, soon or late,
And so I pray and calmly wait.
I know not if the blessing sought
Will come in just the way I thought;
But I leave my prayers with Him alone,
Whose will is wiser than my own,
Assured that He will grant my quest,
Or send some answer far more blest.

To the Yusaf Family,
I will miss seeing Paul's face and hearing him say "Welcome my friend!" at Cash and Carry. I would then holler back,"Ap ka sa hay!"He was more like a brother to me. Who will now teach me Punjabe?
I truly could see the love from all of the family and friends at the memorial service. Paul was blessed, really beyond measure.
I was so hopeful that I could share at the service without the emotion over-taking my words. I did not plan it that way, .... Paul is with Jesus,this I know.
God Bless you all.
Your brother in Christ,
Ken Rushane
