In Loving Memory of my Earthly Father, Paul Thierry

Dad I just can’t believe it, You did make it to heaven! Mom’s there, and so many others who have loved you gathering around you and celebrating your arrival. It must be amazing to witness and feel this energy pouring into your soul. Such love, such light. May the heavenly father keep you in his arms forever in the kingdom of glory!

In my love for you, Dad,
I saw the ways you learned to work through life, The generous gift of love and support you gave through counseling helped many people and couples, your devotion to prayer for those in need of guidance and healing was remarkable. Your work with Big Brothers helped so many children providing guidance and mentoring. You were a devoted family man, non judgmental, forgiving and loving. Your connection to faith, along with Mom’s, gave us a good education and upbringing in a comfortable loving family. Thousands of memories of a wonderful life we have lived with you.

You shared so many things and interests with me most of all your love and appreciation of music, this has led me to a lifelong semi-career as a musician. What a gift from you! You were a progressive, modern man when I was younger, you loved stereo sound equipment that amplified this great new music. You took me to concerts by the foremost of their time, bands from Santana to Chicago to Pink Floyd. You were a rocking dad and I loved you for this.

Your studies of phycology were of interest to me. This taught me the ways to understand how and why people are the way they are, a good thing to understand early on in life and it has helped me along my way. You studied hard and worked even harder to support our family.

You were a super-wordsmith, able to give talks and speeches and do a crossword puzzle in an hour. Your studies in handwriting analysis were of interest and beneficial to those interested.
Magnet therapy did work. You researched this to help relieve the pain our mother had from arthritis. I have used this method to reduce pain and it does work.

You were a sports fan, especially of the Cincinnati Reds. We attended games at all three stadiums that have existed in the city. What memories from those wonderful times at the ballpark! Go Reds.

At 5 years you started taking me to Findley Market with you on Saturdays. Wow, what an incredible place, downtown, old buildings, color on display and fresh food we loved. 
You invented the Thierry Salad, always our Saturday night feast and so good with anchovies!
I have reminded a faithful shopper at Findley Market throughout my life. Thank you dad!

You had gratitude and appreciation for all things beautiful, nature and all of God’s creatures on earth, the wonders of the universe and the love that was given to you from your family, friends and clients you helped. You were a dedicated spouse to our mother who passed so long ago.
She was so beautiful in her ways and in her devotion to us and her faith. I understood her and helped her in every way I could. When she passed I knew I had to support you with love and help for the remainder of your life. It has been my duty as your son to do this and my reward has been you constant love, appreciation and and forgiveness. I love you dad.

Your undeniable faith in Jesus, The Father, and The Blessed Mother has undoubtedly given your soul a joyous place to reside in the kingdom of heaven. Peace father, my Daddy Paul

I spent a lot of time in the Thierry home as a teenager. Paul and Nellie always made me feel welcome. As I grew older I learned how thoughtful and caring Paul was. 
Gus, Anita and Lisa, I will always have fond memories of the time I spent with all of you. You have my deepest sympathies and well wishes. 

We send prayers and warm thoughts to the family and friends of Paul Thierry.

In talking with our neighbor, Paul, we found he had worked as the Psychiatrist for Catholic Charities on adoption cases.  We were amazed to find the dates coincided and he had worked on our adoption of our newborn baby boy! 

Paul was major in placing our beautiful baby, now wonderfully a man, in our arms to love. We are forever grateful.

Whenever I was in Paul's presence he was so totally present to me. His eyes, mind, and soul were focused on me and what I was trying to convey. Paul was very aware of the spiritual dimension of life. So much so one could believe he resided there more than in this material world. He was a gift of God to each of us who got to know him. We are all blessed to have shared some part of life with him.

Dear Gus, Lisa, and Anita,
You have my sincere condolences for your father's passing. Your dad was such a kind, loving, gentle soul. I have very fond memories of him, and your mom, when we'd hang out and play loud music at your house. He always made us feel welcome and respected and would often engage us in interesting conversations. Please know that you are in my heart.

With love,
Kevin

Hi Gus, Lisa, and Anita
  I am sorry to hear of your dads passing. Your mom and dad's house was a wonderful place to include where we would go as teenagers. Your dad was always kind and pleasant despite the teenage chaos we brought, including working on our musical talents in the basement bar room. I am eternally grateful.

Our prayers and support are with you all

My thoughts and prayers go out to Gus , Anita and Lisa. Gus was the first person I met when I moved to Cincinnati. I will never forget the friendship he showed me that first day of Junior high. You and your family will always be in my thoughts and prayers.                        Love always Jeff and Ellen Giver

We were deeply saddened by the news about the death of Paul. Hel was such a kind soul, who will be greatly missed by all who knew him. You can take comfort and strength from the wonderful family you and he had together. We know their love will get you through this difficult time.                                                                         May God bless you and your family during this time and always -                       Sam Campbell and Carol Heideman

Paul is #1 on my Readers’ Digest list of people I will remember that touched my life. What a Christian gentleman and a gentle man. He was my case worker at Big Brothers and Big Sisters of Greater Cincinnati. My little brother relationships were most effective thanks to his guidance. Condolences to all his children and friends.  Jim Schmidt

Dear Gus , Anita & Lisa,
I’m so sorry to hear of your dad’s passing. Your dad was such a gentle man. I remember him way back when you 3 were little & I would babysit. Then later I would stop by the house to see him & he was always so friendly & kind. I will be keeping you all in my prayers & I plan to be at Mass on the 28th. So I will see you all there.
Take care,
Eileen (Fox) Krauss
