To the family of Paul Davenport, My thoughts and prayers are with you this afternoon as you gather to say goodbye to your father, grandfather, or brother. I taught school for many years at Davis County when Paul served the district as school psychologist. Paul was truly a caring, compassionate educator, qualities that I am sure carried over to other aspects of his life. Paul and I sometimes joked that we had a mutual admiration society because we shared many of the same interests and most of all the acceptance of individual differences in our roles mentoring children. Only in recent years have I come to be friends with Paul and Jewel's daughter, Beth, whose friendship I also cherish.

I have many memories of a fantastic man with love for God, his family, friends, and those who were in need. We taught together in the Southeast Polk School District. WE started the day with in-depth conversations about whatever was on our minds. He was an amazing listener and always had a kind answer. His faith was the bedrock for his philosophies. There was plenty of room for humor. Invited to dinner was a real treat as we dined on muskrat and coon. Paul thought it was a joke for me to eat such exotic food. He was a treasure. The world has lost a incredible human being who always made time for others. Paul...thanks for the memories and the unconditional love!!
