STEPHEN PAULL Obituary

Stephen E. Paull "Lived Life To The Fullest" Born in Preston, Idaho on June 15, 1937. Passed on peacefully at home May 12, 2011. Survived by his wife Brenda; daughter Tasha, stepson Michael, four grandchildren, two brothers Armand and David, three goofy Labs, and several hundred garlic plants. He enjoyed life and his many, many friends enjoyed him. He told stories like few others and his family and friends will retell his stories far into the future. His attitude was amazing. He laughed a lot and made all those who knew him the better for it. As one friend said, 'he was a gift to us all, he never passed on a good time." He had many interests (read passions). First and foremost; he loved his wife Brenda, and then in no particular order, he loved his family and friends, his dogs, and all other animals, especially the large Elk herd that invaded his garlic beds every winter, golf, his farm, especially his 14 varieties of garlic, his Teepee, his tractor, golf, and many other things including GOLF and of course his garlic beds. He was a good artist, (he called his stuff doodles) and a talented photo-grapher. He had so many interests that made him interesting. AND HE LOVED LIFE. So let's gather in Oakley, at the end of Paull Lane on Saturday, June 4th, about noon to laugh and cry and celebrate a life of one of the great ones. For sure, for sure.

Armand, Susan, Dave and Brenda I was shocked to hear of Stephen's passing. Didn't know he had cancer. It's been awhile since I've talked to Stephen but I thought he was doing great. In all likelyhood we had cancer at the same time. They found esophogeal cancer in me one year ago in april. Following a brutal operation they found I was an anomaly in that it had just started. They tell me I am now cancer free. I've contacted some of our friends to let them know of Stelphen's passing. Hope all of you are doing well. I will surely miss Stephen's "how ya doin). john holland (Salt Lake)

To David Albin Paull,
When I read this obituary and saw David was his brother I am taking a long shot to see if it is my old friend Elder Paull I knew in Sweden some 50 years ago. If not please forgive my asking and accept my condolences. [email protected]
