January 1, 1950 – January 3, 2017
Paul was peacefully set free from a courageous battle with
cancer two days after his 67th birthday, surrounded by family and loved ones.
Paul left his thoughtful and passionate mark in all he did. He was particularly
proud of his accomplishments as a young man that profoundly influenced the rest
of his life. His devout Catholic faith guided him with wisdom and strength.
Paul was a world traveler and brought his experiences into the classroom as an
anthropology instructor at Whatcom Community College for 22 years. His care and
compassion for animals extended to environmental causes later in life,
believing that every living thing needs an advocate. Paul is survived by his
adoring wife, Christy; brother, Bob Modie (Joyce); sister, Sister Vincent
Schroeder; step-daughter Aubrey and son-in-law Loren Miller; grandchildren
Lincoln and Luci Miller; parents-in-law Gary and Pam Smith; brother-in-law and
his wife, Nathan and Jennie Smith; and countless family and friends. A viewing
and rosary prayer service will be held at St. Anne's Catholic Church, 604 H
Street, Blaine, WA 98230 on Tuesday, January 10, 2017 at 6:00
