Paul H. Thiessen
Paul H. Thiessen, 72, died very unexpectedly of an aneurysm Tuesday,
September 21, 1999 at Providence Medical Center, Anchorage, Alaska.
A memorial service will be held at the Kingdom Hall, 2301 Strawberry
Road in Anchorage on Saturday, September 25, 1999. Long time friend and
local minister, Richard Baker, will preside.
Paul was born April 3, 1927 in Gaza, IA. He took his bride, Alice Solheim,
November 30, 1954 in Sioux City, IA. They moved to Poplar Bluff, Mo., where
their only child, Jeffrey, was born in 1955. They lived there until 1960
when they moved to Cape Girardeau, Mo. In 1968 they fulfilled Paul's lifelong
dream to settle in Alaska, moving to Ketchikan, where they lived for 12
years before relocating to Anchorage in 1980.
Paul was baptized as one of Jehovah's Witnesses in 1951 and served
in various capacities of oversight for 44 years. He came to Anchorage in
1979 to serve at the Alaska Branch of the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society,
an assignment he enjoyed until his death.
Paul worked as a builder and masonry contractor until his retirement
in 1989. in recent years he has been known to many as the Carpet Express
Man. His skill as a craftsman was greatly appreciated, especially helping
in the construction of quickly built Kingdom Halls in Alaska and the Yukon
Territory.
He endeared himself to many by spending much time sharing his Bible
knowledge and abilities helping others to have a relationship with their
Creator, Jehovah God. Whether working secularly or in the ministry, he
endeared himself to many through his compassion and humor. He loved Alaska.
His travels in the ministry and recreationally took him to all parts of
the state. He had a wide range of interests including fishing, gardening,
collecting nautical treasures and Alaskan artifacts, reciting Robert Service
poetry, reading and sharing the north country tales of author, James Hendryx
and challenging anyone who came around to a game of cribbage. His smoked
salmon was 'legendary' and he always sent some back home with anyone who
visited. He and Alice entertained many friends from around the world and
shared with them the Alaskan experience.
They were also known for their many gatherings which often included
a sing-a-long ending with "Those Were the Days My Friend, We Thought They'd
Never End..." His confidence was that, even if his days should end prematurely
in this old system of things, he would be resurrected to a beautiful earthly
paradise soon to be a reality made possible through the ransom sacrifice
of God's son, Jesus Christ.
Paul was unique. For old and young alike, he had the knack of making
you feel like you were 'the one'. The amazing thing was that he could remember
and would recall with each individual their personal "code of communication,"
perhaps a special nickname, a certain phrase or look, or a standing joke
between them.
Survivors include his wife, Alice of Anchorage; his son and his wife,
Jeff and Melanie Thiessen of Thousand Oaks, Calif.; grandchildren, Tasha
and Jordan of Thousand Oaks, Calif.; his brothers and sisters-in-law, Carl
and Blanche Thiessen of Spencer, IA,; Danny and Barbara Thiessen of Escondido,
Calif.; Richard and Sally Thiessen of Brooklyn, NY.; sisters Helma Kuske,
of Escondido, Calif.; Penny Thiessen of Denver, Colo.; Magdalene and Bob
Lucas of Sioux City, IA. He had so many nieces, including Deborah Jennings
of Cape Girardeau, Mo., and nephews whom he loved so dearly as well as
numerous friends from all over the world.
In lieu of flowers contributions may be made in his memory to 'Watchtower'
at 2552 E 48th Ave., Anchorage, AK 99507 and labeled "disaster relief fund."
