A visitation will be held at 10:00 AM followed by a memorial service at 11:00 AM on Saturday, February 21st, 2015 at Heartland Cremation & Burial Society in Raytown, Missouri.

He attended Raytown High School.  He enjoyed many hobbies throughout his life and developed a zest for everything that he did.  He never stopped at just one of anything.

As Paul joins his father, Ken West and his brother, Brian West in death, his love carries on with his wife, Katherine West; daughter, Angela Conner; half-sister, Sarah Baird; his extended family; and his vast family of friends from school, work, racing, and charity.

    Kate, So sorry for your loss.
    I love this poem, I read it at my grandmother’s service. I wanted to share with you.

    Do not stand at my grave and weep,
    I am not there, I do not sleep.
    I am a thousand winds that blow.
    I am the diamond glint on snow.
    I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
    I am the gentle autumn rain.

    When you wake in the morning hush,
    I am the swift, uplifting rush
    Of quiet birds in circling flight.
    I am the soft starlight at night.

    Do not stand at my grave and weep.
    I am not there, I do not sleep.
    (Do not stand at my grave and cry.
    I am not there, I did not die!)

    ~1932 Mary Elizabeth Frye

    Very sorry to hear about your loss.
    Got to know Paul at the Slot Car track….
    He helped me a lot at the track.
    And I grew up in the old brookside area in the day.
    He will be missed.
