Vicki, Jessica, and Melanie, so sorry to hear about your dad. He was a nice and quiet man, but from what others have said he was a great umpire and referee and had a great love for sports. He had many friends in that arena. Always enjoyed the fact that he and Jessica and a few times Melanie would come back and watch the 4th of July parade with others in our front yard. Prayers for all of you and your families. God Bless you! Barb and Scott DeWalt

I just read this. So sorry for your loss. I knew both of his parents and his sister Nan and her husband. God bless your family.

I officiated basketball with Paul over the last several years. Paul was a quiet soul who did his best to officiated a fair game for young kids. Paul was never a self-promoter who was grateful to receive the assignments from various leagues. He never complained and went about his job in a very professional manner. A few years ago I picked-up Paul and Cecil for a middle school assignment at Onaga. I really enjoyed our conversation during the journey and learned a lot about this humble man. I just think of a wonderful man whose life ended way too soon.

My best friend Paul Wobus how I am going to miss him. He knew weird things about me like I collect brand new pennies and Maya Angelo quarters. He knew my favorite food at every restaurant. He knew how I liked my steak. He knew my favorite color. He had a nickname for me. I talked to him practically every day on the phone. He knew my dreams and aspirations! He knew my hopes and dreams.
Paul was a giver. He was willing to give someone the shirt off his back, a jumpstart to their car, or help a stranger on the side of the road. Paul was patient. I used to tell him he has more patience than my whole family combined: and then I would name all my family members. He would simply talk me down off my ledge and keep me on the phone when I walk into work late at night in the dark.
He treated my children as they were his own. I’d love to go into all the nice things that he did for me, however, we’d be here all day. He bought me gifts, he gave me flowers, he bought us all Royals tickets, and he tried to convince me that he had two seats for the Chiefs games and I need to go to at least one game. He would tell me that I would be perfect gal if only….I loved football. He was willing to do things for me in the cold of winter, the hot hot days of summer. In all the years that I’ve known him, we’ve only had one argument. On the night of November 19, 2022 I did not know that that was the last time that I would see Paul Wobus. There’s so many things that I want to say and so many things that I wish I could’ve said. But I know in my heart that he knew. He’s celebrating meeting Jesus face to face and seeing his Mom and Dad and all the loved ones that gone before us.
God’s Healing, comfort, and strength to His family in this time of sadness and loss. God bless them.

So sorry for your loss. I just saw Paul a few months ago out at Shawnee Heights Middle School as a Ref. for the girls volleyball games. We also we members of Highland Heights Christian Church. Prayers ?? for the family.
~ Jan and Clem McRill - November 26, 2022
I worked with Paul for a number of years with Girls Fastpitch Softball. Paul was always a someone I could count on to always be there and give his best effort. Paul would always be calm under pressure and always gave his time and advice to younger umpires. Paul was always great to talk with about sports and his passion for his family. Paul you will be missed!
~ Dave Jones - November 26, 2022
To the Wobus family, my thoughts and prayers during this time of transition, from our earthly life, to eternal life in heaven. Paul suffers no more, in the hands of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Paul officiated all of the sports programs that the City of Topeka and Shawnee County Parks and Recreation provided, when I supervised both Adult and Youth sports. Paul could be counted on to fulfill his assignments, without complaint and with his best effort. Paul was a very calm, patient sports official, which I am sure carried over to his family and work responsibilities. Paul was one of our most loyal and dependable sports officials over the years. I began working for Parks and Recreation of Topeka in 1989 and Paul officiated through the consolidation, of our City and County Parks and Recreation Departments. Paul and I also officiated sports together over the years and I never worried, as I knew everyone would get Paul's best effort to be fair and would do what all of us strive for, make the right call. Please remember that special, kind smile, your dad always had, as it made it very hard for upset sports participants, to ever truly be mad at your dad. A gift that I truly appreciated. Paul is now, another Angel in the outfield for me. Take care.

To Paul Wobus Family,
My sincere condolescences to Pauls family. I had the pleasure to work with Paul a few times at USA softball. Paul made a lasting impression as a kind sincere family man. I respected his work umpiring and will miss him.

Truly a great and loyal friend during my high school years. Think Paul and I probably gave his Dad and Mom most of their gray hair. His was a true friend and I will miss him. RIP Buddy.

So sorry Kristi and family
~ Carmalee Hall - November 22, 2022
Paul umpired slow pitch and fast pitch games for me in KC. He was one in a million. Never complained. Worked his games. Did it for the love of the game. Was always fair and always a joy to be around. Paul always had good stories from games he worked or Royals or Chiefs games he attended. He worked the last games of the year for us in early November as our season wrapped up. Fitting I guess. Paul I’ll miss seeing you and talking to you. The world is a better place for you having graced it. Rest easy friend. The family is in our prayers. From all of us at KC USA Umpires and USA Softball of Kansas City.

Dear Wobus Family:
On behalf of the Topeka Public Schools District, we extend our condolences to your family. We are deeply saddened to learn about the passing of your beloved father and our incredible substitute teacher, Mr. Wobus. He absolutely loved people and had a gift for serving children with challenges. While he served in Topeka for the last two years as a substitute, his reputation for being a calm, kind and loving spirit preceded him. We are so grateful to have had him on our staff.
Please know that your Topeka Public Schools family remains here for you. You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.
Dr. Tiffany Anderson
Superintendent
