Paul Kitwin…

  You were a wicked-smart computer geek…With or without your pony tail.

 You were funny and fun loving; a prankster who loved practical jokes, and a good laugh.

You were kind, sensitive, thoughtful, and humane.

You were loving and not afraid to express it.

You were deeply in love.

You were a committed vegetarian; and a great cook.

But you were a cipher too…

  A cat person. But a dog person.

• Wildly liberal. But a gun owner who had night-vision goggles.
• A Minnesota boy, who seemed to have West Coast roots.
• You packed a knife. You could tie knots. In fact, you were generally overly prepared for any situation… Or were you?

As Sherpa Paul, you toted and carried things for Suzanne…

Many, many, many… many things!  

And we saw how you delighted in that role.

 But you also carried things of your own.

Unfortunately, they were heavy things that we couldn’t see; things that, ultimately, we couldn’t help you with.

Paul Kitwin…

• You were loved and respected

• You were a good friend.

• You were a good human.

But Paul, most of all, you are and will be

Truly and deeply missed.
