Sorry for the loss of a good man. We grew up in College Alaska and went to the same schools and played basketball and baseball on the same teams. Paul and his family were always a positive influence for me and many others.

I had the privilege of being a part of the same graduate class at NNU as Paul. I truly enjoyed each time I got the opportunity to talk with him during our 3 years in that program. He was such a gentle man with many experiences he would quietly share. I had a reverence for him and his wisdom and grace.

My heart aches for the family he often talked about with a twinkle in his eye. My own heart is heavy as I reflect with appreciation on the brief time I got to know him. He will be missed.

Paul was a wonderful man in the Fairbanks community. I met him through his support of Young Life and working with his kids in that ministry. Watching God work in him and through him as he married Kathy to build a new and larger family was so encouraging to me as a young man. He walked his talk and kept the faith. Shocked and sad today just now, but thankful to have known him. God speed to him and encouragement to all his family.

I have many childhood memories of Paul at Camp LiWa, where his dad Don was the director and his mom Ruth ran the kitchen! Paul's cabin and mine played many tricks on one another, had a lot of fun together in canoes on Lake LiWa, and I remember Paul's kindness--he didn't have a mean bone in his body, even as a boy. He was especially good to my family when my father died in 1992, and his parents and mine were good friends. I moved away from Fairbanks after high school so rarely saw Paul after that, but I believe every word that his friends and family have said about his lovingkindness. I'm so very sorry for his sudden passing, and I know I speak for all the Hartley kids when I express our deep condolences. I have seen Paul's daughter Karen's post on Facebook, so if she reads this, I want her to know that I am in Durham NC, not so far from her in Hope Mills, and if there is a way I can be helpful, please use my contact information here to reach me.

I have some very similar memories of Paul, his folks Don and Ruth at Denali Bible Chapel and Camp LiWa.  Of course there was Johnny and Duffer (Phillip), his brothers who all made the camp what it still is today.  I can still see him and his dad scrimmaging on that muddy clay basketball court.  I particularly remember the last year I attended camp when Paul, Guy Herning and myself decided to move the boy’s outhouse to the front of the older girls tent which had to be 50 yards away.  We had loaded the outhouse unto a wheelbarrow (this was at 2am) and started the long trudge of balancing and lugging this hulking outhouse to it’s final destination when suddenly Paul’s dad, Don (the camp director),  caught us and asked what we were doing.  There we  were, busted, with our outhouse down and figured the gig was up but Don suddenly asked if he could help.  He was a well built man and so he became the driver of the wheelbarrow and we got the outhouse set smack in front of the door of the girls tent.  Mission accomplished.   So many memories! Paul, I look forward to seeing you and your family in Glory!

So sorry to hear about Paul’s passing. I remember Paul as a kind and cheerful person. I know from experience how hard it is to lose a sibling, you are never complete again. Paul in now in God’s loving arms and whole again. You are all in my prayers.

As best man at our wedding, Paul masterminded the kidnapping of my new wife from our wedding reception. He and two other guys escorted her blindfolded to a local McDonald's where they set her on a table and sang to her, "You deserve a break today, so get up and get away to McDonald's". They then called me at my inlaw's house demanding a ransom to return her to me. Paul was a prankster.
