Paul Stolte Obituary

Dear Mark, how very strange the way life is. I just went Paul's website to see if he produced any more 'Weary' figures. I enjoyed bumping into you and Paul at that art opening in Pacific Beach so many years ago. I am so sorry for your loss, Mark. Twenty four years is long time. May God be with you.

I just an hr ago learned that Paul passed and my heart sank. Circumstances were such that we lost touch after many yrs of a good friendship. To you , Mark, my heart is with you. He made such an impression on those he met. Marilynn

Still miss you very much my dear friend. The world was a better place when you were in it.

Hello to Paul's loved ones. I think of him so often and miss him very much. I looked at some pictures on May 24th and they made me smile. He was such a gem. Always in my heart.

My sweet brother, 2 years since you have gone. Still miss you very much. Love you, your little sister

I was thinking about Paul TODAY and thought I would reach out since it's been years since we talked. I'm so very saddened to hear of his passing. I'm realizing now that I am finding this out exactly two years after his passing. Today is May 24, 2024. Paul was so loving and kind. Funny and such a talented artist. We met in the Bay Area when I was in my early 20s and he was in his early 30s. Mark, I'm so sorry for your loss. Much love to you and I'm sure you have many years of wonderful memories. Without a doubt Paul was one-of-a-kind.

Paul's spirit is present with our memories. I wish everyone the best thoughts and encourage doing an art project in his honor during the holiday season. I miss him very much. Love to Mark and family.

I connected with Paul because he was an artist. I loved his whimsical and very original work. I love talking to his husband Mark, who I wish the best in this holiday season. Pamela

On the anniversary of Paul's death, I planted a flower pot that he gave me. Beautiful dahlias remind me of him each day. I miss him very much. Sending love to Mark and the family. He is with us all.

I met Paul in 1981 and was lucky to have him as my good friend for all these years.He was so smart, talented and so funny. I knew Mark was the one for him upon meeting him. Such a beautiful pair! I miss Paul every day but his inspiration and all the reminders through his art in my home will make me smile through the tears. Much love to Mark and the family.

My brother and you were a very special couple together. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of him. Sending much love across the miles.

Love you Mark. My heart breaks at your loss. Together you made a perfect couple.

Mark our deepest sympathies. Bobbie And I loved Paul from the get go. We´re glad you found and had him for all those years. All too short Though. Love Elmer and Bobbie.

Oh Mark. My heart breaks for you. I am so very sorry. My earliest memory of Paul was at Wes and Cathy's wedding. Paul and I snuck into another wedding reception that was happening at the same venue and danced! I knew he was a keeper and I was so happy for you. Sending loads of love.

Paul was a wonderful person. Our condolences to Mark. We have three wonderful pieces of his art. Paul and Mark created an artful beautiful home and welcomed many friends.
