Tributes
Leave a tributeWow two years. How the time flies. Just yesterday I was telling a STL friend about you and the fun we had. He owns a home in the big park just west of Seattle, across the bay. He wants to tear it down and build new. I was helping design it. Told him about your cabin. Bragged about your fishing skills and the night at Steep Point when friends showed up at the last minute and we needed to catch 2 more fish. I thought you were joking but 25 minutes later we had 2 Ling cod in the boat. I thought you had a connection with Yahweh!!! Until Hartley told me you knew were a fishing guide. Now your hanging with Yahweh. Go figure. We will miss you at the Luftseben/TKD reunion this Fall. We will be reminiscing. Sure hope Sallie comes.
How bout you light the W on fire as a sign that you are with us????
Say hi to the gang at 7 Angel Drive. Love you all.

Forever missed. So true. I tossed petals into the bay today in your honor. I can still hear your laugh, see the sparkle in your eyes. You will always be in my thoughts and memories are precious. I am so lucky to have had you as a dear friend and to have been your friend.
We supported each other through the loss of Jamie’s father Tom (Billy McHales here we come!), the illnesses and loss of Jamie’s sister Jennifer and my mom Billie. And through the sudden loss of my Dad, (aka Ralph o matic). I am so glad Dad and Mom and Jamie had the opportunity to spend time together. Jamie always made time to have a dance with Mom. (Thanksgiving 1995) Jamie’s love of history and military history gave my father and he many hours of conversation. We loved and supported each other through my diagnosis of breast cancer and the surgeries and treatments that required. He could have been a nurse with his patient and loving care.
Today is a day filled with loving memories. In every marriage there is sickness and health, richer and poorer, better or worse. I am happy to remember that most of our 21+ years were filled with the positive aspects of a marriage.
Jamie, thank you for the signs..I am doing it. I am keeping my eyes and heart open and things are happening. Thank you for being such an important part of my life and helping to make me the woman I am today! Love today and always. Your wife. xxoo

Happy belated bday. I got a new hip last week so I have been remiss in keeping up. At least I am finally hip!!!!!
I hope you are celebrating this entire month with all our Luftseben friends in Heaven.
Patti and I talk regularly about the fun we had at Steep Point, boat trip in Sanibel/Captiva, Colorado reunions, Door County, Wisconsin, etc.
Do you know how lucky you were to have Silly???? Holy Moly. She is a peach.
We love you Jamie. Please give us a sign at the reunion next fall in Gunnison.

Where you are none of this Chronological Stuff Matters,but down here its all part of the deal.I was thinking about you as I was putting my skis in the ski rack today. I am taking a few runs for the both of us at Stevens tomorrow.You know the place.Keep an Eye on me and I'll wave to Sweet Pea as I go by Sky.I know you had a Good One as They are All Good where You are and Keep That Eye on Sallie
Altho 'tis alleged that we met for the first time at Steep Point, Woggie was sage enough ro recognize that we were actually twins separated at birth - those salmon never stood a chance. Nor did the vodka/fruit juice - nor the Johnnie Walker Red . . .
Question: were you & I the only ones in the Pickle Barrel who didn't snore...?
Aloha nui, bruddah,

I was recalling Jamie's 60th birthday celebration that started at Roach's Place watching the Seahawk's and the Bears. Like most all parties with Jamie the fun was just beginning. I remember waking the next day at the house looking at a bunch of snow angles on the lawn. Must of been why I was so cold that night. Fun times...football, libations and as always conversation. Carla and I will raise a toast tonight.
Thinking about you tonight as I remember our annual Christmas Eve ritual. No one could ever read The Night Before Christmas as well as you could. I smile as I remember how the 10 or so paged book seemed to go on forever as you would comment on each picture and carefully explain every word I didn't understand. Thank you so much for giving me such a wonderful childhood filled with irreplaceable memories. Though I wish you were still here, I am so blessed just for having you in my life.
Love always, Kyra

As we make our way through the holidays, memories come flooding in. We have had our successes and challenges since we had to say good bye to you, but what has and will always hold us together is our family. Tom and Mary Paul built the foundation of what I cherish as the Paul family, and through You, Uncle Tim, Papa and Aunt Jeffie, we are equipped with the values and determination to make our way through any challenge we face with honesty and integrity. I love you, we all love you. And boy do we miss you.
The legs are getting the feeling for the snow.Wish you were here

I can't believe a year today since you passed.Not a day goes by without thinking of you, a fun memory, your laugh, your smile. Every month on the day of your passing, just like I do with my dear dad, I go down to the sea with a tequila shooter in an oyster shell and toss petals into the sea in tribute of you my dear friend. Love you
Happy April Fools Day JCP. I have taken many runs at Stevens on Your behalf and this week I am headed to S.V. to do the same.Thanks for Keeping an Eye on Sallie.
Sallie looked absolutely beautiful and Jamie smiling from ear to ear. I feel lucky to have been a their side. May Jamie be remembered for the humorous, kind and generous man he was. May Sallie be blessed for knowing and loving him. Your love and commitment still inspires
Blue bird day on the mountain yesterday, bet you saw it and squirmed with birthday glee.

Sallie PauI: I remember Jamie as a young boy, first starting to ski at Stevens Pass, and later as he came proficient. Very sorry you had to lose your husband at such an early age. I do hope you are doing well.

Christmas In Heaven
I see the countless Christmas trees around the world below,
With tiny lights like Heaven’s stars reflecting on the snow.
The sight is so spectacular – please wipe away the tears,
For I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.
I hear the many Christmas songs that people hold so dear,
But the sound of music can’t compare with the Christmas choir up here.
I have no words to tell you, the joys their voices bring,
For it’s beyond description to hear the angels sing!
I know how much you miss me, I see the pain inside your heart,
But I am not so far away, we really aren’t apart.
So be happy for me dear ones, you know I hold you dear,
And be glad I’m spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.
I sent you each a special gift from my heavenly home above,
I sent you each a memory of my undying love.
After all, love is a gift more precious than pure gold,
It was always most important in the stories Jesus told.
Please love and keep each other as my Father said to do,
For I can’t count the blessings of love he has for each of you.
So have a Merry Christmas and wipe away that tear,
Remember I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.
I love you now and forever ! Sallie xxoo
