Asleep in Jesus Sunday, December 25, 2022.
Beloved husband of Karen Paul (nee Nolting) for 53 years; loving father of Ryan (Kara) Paul and Nathan (Kristina) Paul; adoring grandfather of Lauren, Elise, Lillian, Jackson, Claire and Oliver; dear brother of the late Ronald (surviving Beverly) Paul and twin brother Richard (surviving Linda) Paul; dear brother-in-law of Steven (Joan) Nolting and Mark (Beverly) Nolting. Our dearest uncle, great-uncle, cousin and friend to many.
Bob and Karen were high school sweethearts, and together they built a life they loved. Bob was an accomplished electrical engineer who took pride in the quality of his work. Skilled with his hands and willing to learn, Bob would lead his sons in acquiring many home improvement skills over the years – skills which they used to turn houses into true homes. They would do this not only for their own families, but would willingly share these skills with others as well. He and Karen deeply valued longtime friendships, and often could be found catching up with beloved friends at favorite dinner spots or adventuring together on special trips. Bob was an avid fan of both the Cardinals and the Blues, even becoming an usher at Busch Stadium during retirement, but nothing made his eyes light up more than watching his grandkids play sports. Bob knew that he was loved and saved by Jesus Christ – he brought his children up in this faith, and his family takes special joy in the fact that on his very first day in heaven, Bob got to celebrate his Savior’s birthday with Him, face to face.

Karen and family, I am so sorry to hear of Bob’s passing. I know how hard it is to lose a spouse around the holidays. But be comforted that he is in the arms of our Savior. Take the time to grieve but also remember the good times you had together as a family.

Steve and I fondly remember Bob. I did say this to Tim, Laura and Linda when we heard out about Bob’s passing–“Bob, met Jesus on His birthday. He is singing with the angels and all the company of heaven.” Prayers and blessings to the Paul family during your time of grief. We will see him again at the Resurrection. A promise from God for all Christians who have the faith.

Very sad to hear about Bob. We really enjoyed catching up with Bob and Karen at Cardinals Spring training in Jupiter, 2016. Wonderful working with Bob and his brother Rick over many years at Western Electric, ATT, and Lucent Technologies.

Karen, I am sorry to hear about Bob’s passing. I know the last time we saw each other he wasn’t doing good. Know that you and your family are in my prayers. I am here if you need anything. Sending love and prayers.

Bob gave our daughter, Kris, a second earthly dad when she married Nathan. Jeanette and I gained dear and true friends in Bob and Karen. These St. Louis area natives made these St. Louis transplants a part of their family. We will especially miss Bob’s gracious presence at family feasts.

I am so sorry to hear of the loss of such a great man. Bob was my mentor in DC Power when I moved here in 1989 and he had so many sayings that always cracked us all up. I had tried many times to find his contact information after his retirement without success. He told me stories of some catoring business, talked frequently of his family and was always a great friend of mine. It’s saddens me deeply to hear of him this way versus meeting him in person.

My husband Dennis and I both worked with Bob at AT&T and Southwestern Bell. He was a good friend and we’re so sorry to hear of his loss. Our prayers go out to his family and friends.

Bob Paul was spoken of fondly in my home most of my childhood by my parents, Dennis and Pauline Brand. Sad to hear of his passing. He was a great man that touched many. He will be missed terribly. Prayers to you all.

Rest in peace, Bob!! Very sorry to hear of the passing.

We were so sorry to hear of Bob’s passing. I mainly knew him from working at AT&T where he was considered a giant in his technical field, not only in stature but in his knowledge and caring approach. Everyone that knew Bob sincerely appreciated him as a wonderful human being that was always there to help in any way he could both in and out of the office. Although I wasn’t his supervisor, I had the privilege and honor to do his final retirement processing locally as we skipped down the hall one last time together for his last time to exit the building. Prayers to his family and many friends during this time.

I am so sorry to hear of the loss of such a great man. Bob was a mentor in DC Power for me and several others. He was always available to help when needed. I just spoke to him several months ago when I had asked his opinion on an old engine room setup. A wealth of knowledge and freely shared it when asked.

It’s always such a joy to see Bob’s smiling face. He is so kind and friendly. He will be missed. Lots of great memories as a kid and I’m adulthood with Volleyball. Please say hi to my dad I’m sure he already connected with you Bob! And for Karen, Ryan and Nathan and all the family, please know that all us Werton’s are keeping you all close to our hearts and in our prayers. My heart goes out to you all.

Our thoughts and prayers to Karen and the family. We met Bob as a Cardinals usher, although we all retired from AT&T. Bob was an incredibly nice guy and so easy to get to know. He will be missed greatly until we all meet again.

Chris and I were so sad to hear of Bob’s passing. We loved him dearly and he was the best neighbor for so many years. Unfortunately we heard too late to make the funeral. Sending love to you Karen and all the family. Our deepest condolences!
