Paul had a big impact on many young lives as an educator, and on my family… as my mother’s principal and friend, and at the golf course where he, Charlie, Bill , and my dad George forged lifelong bonds. To Sue and your family, thank you for sharing Paul with so many of us . Thinking of you all and sending much love, Melissa Wayne

Palmer Family, God Bless your Mother and Father. They were the best public servants during our time together in Wyandotte County. Together your Parents mentored so many kids growing up in the Dotte. USD 500 was their interest in growing the Dotte in a positive manner. Always encouraging and serving others. Peace be with you now and in the days ahead. Doug Spangler

What a surprise to hear of Mr. Palmers passing. There are some people who have lived their lives with such integrity and grace it is hard to imagine life without them. He was always a scholar, gentleman and a role model. To Megan and Amy thank you for your selfless acts and sharing your dad with us throughout the years. To Mrs. Palmer your strength has never gone unnoticed. You have been such a sweet fragrance. Always a great example of what marriage and motherhood should look like. May God bless each of you and continue to make his face shine upon you.

Paul gave me great guidance when I was a first year teacher at Wyandotte High School. He was fair but firm teacher, and great mentor back in 1967/68. God Bless Paul and his family.

Sue and family, I am so sorry for your loss. May your beautiful memories of your husband, father and grandfather bring you comfort and lasting joy in the days ahead. Mr. Palmer was truly the gold standard in school administrators. I am forever grateful that my teaching career of almost 40 years began under his leadership and guidance. During those years I fondly remembered or referenced a PEPism from time to time (and I’m sure I’m not the only one to do so.) Continued thoughts and prayers for your family at this difficult time.

I knew Paul in Hays high school. Also knew his sister and the father was ethe Band director. I was a claironet player many years ago; Liked all his family that I knew and now have to say I've outlived another person., which is sad for me as I seem headed to be the last as I am 99. Sorry he is gone. Wish we could have touched base before he passed. Virgie
