I went to school with Paul from 4th grade thru 12th. He was always such a nice guy. I’m sorry to know that he passed.
I had heard that he lived in Luzerne County and we lived in Lackawanna for over 40 years. I have more grade school pictures if you are interested.
Again, my condolences for your loss.

Emily, I just found out today of Paul’s passing, I remember him fondly and you as well. I always enjoyed working with Paul from my internship in Nanticoke to Lehman. He was always cheerful and professional. I learned a lot from him especially in my early years as a school psychologist. I hope you will find comfort in your many happy memories of Paul. God bless.

Paul was a gentleman and incredible person, I am a better person for having known him ! My sincere sympathy to his family and friends, we have all lost an amazing person in this world, Rest in Peace my dear friend!
Emily, Doug, and Seth------Where do I begin to thank Paul for all the years of support, mentoring, advice, guidance, and most of all friendship he gave me? Emily, you and Paul took me "by the hand" and introduced me to LIU 18, Luzerne County, and the reality of being a TVI, or in those days: Teacher of the Visually Handicapped. Paul gave me the confidence and assurance to be the best teacher I could be. Emily---I remember the Grogge Shoppe days---what fun we had and that fun continued. I could go on and on. . .
Paul definitely left his mark and his legacy will live on. Doug---I am thankful you followed in his footsteps. Seth---sorry I don't really know you but I know what you are made of---keep your father's memories alive. For those of us in vision, we know Eleanor Long is Mother Vision. Paul started the vision program at LIU 18 in the 1970's, so in my "eyes", I always think of him as Father Vision, especially at Luzerne IU 18. Thank you Paul----Your
legacy will live on, and you are remembered with respect and admiration.

So sorry to hear of Paul's passing. Our condolences to you and your family. We loved our trivia times with you two and I had great conversations with Paul about all his vehicles and my fire history.
God Bless Paul's Soul and all of you.
Hard to believe that I met Paul Yeager some 32 years ago. I was a first year teacher at the IU and didn't know what I didn't know yet. Paul was a mentor and most of all a great friend. We discovered a common bond in motorcycles and I think I may have rekindled his desire to get on 2 wheels again. We had some great rides on some great roads but enjoyed the comradery the most. As anyone can attest, Paul was never at loss for discussion....about anything. I will miss that. I hope Paul's last ride is the best!
Paul was the big brother I never had, and I loved him as my own. As a kid while he and Emily were dating, I thought he was the coolest guy, and as it turns out, he was! Anyone who knew Paul knows he was passionate about everything he did, and always went above and beyond: his hobbies and collections, his family, traditions, his profession, his lively discussions, the way he wrote, I could go on and on! I've know him nearly my whole life, and he was a cherished member of our family. Our parents adored him. He was Matt's "partner in crime," and he and Matt created the very best annual Thanksgiving turkey fry events extraordinaire! Nothing will be the same without him. We loved Paul so much, and we'll miss him forever!

Emily,
Paul was gifted to make almost a full 74 trips around the sun, the majority of them with you as you shared your lives together creating beautiful memories and love. My deepest condolences as you continue your journey remembering your beloved Paul. He was a thoughtful, considerate and loving man.
We were so pleased when you and Paul came to Seattle to see Jan and have a good time on Puget Sound. Love and sympathy to you and all your family.

We remember with great fondness the lively discussions we shared with Paul and Emily over dinners at 1776. After two hours, we felt we had made progress in solving all the world’s problems. We will forever cherish these memories of such happy times.
