When I visited with Paul 6 months ago at Kendra and Jodi’s shared 50th birthday party, it was an enormously happy day. He was surrounded by family and friends in their beautiful home on the banks of the Maitland River and I saw and appreciated what he had created with Joyce. Paul told me of my grade school teachers and we reflected on the unfair struggles that one of his/my teachers had faced. I knew that he had thought a long time on ethics and justice and morality and I was so glad that he provided that caring for a wonderful teacher. It felt good to be taught about how society had needed to change by an 80 year old in a woodshop. It felt good that after 35 years I could see and understand some of the depth of my old school principal.
Paul reminded me of who I might be if I slowed right down and saw people in the bigger light of who they were, where they had been and the struggles they faced, I think that he saw people in the aggregate of all the important bits of their lives.
Paul has lived deliberately and he has died with such hopes for the next generation. I am proud of how Paul died, he was a leader and teacher to the end. So I am not sad at his passing, but I am very sad that in my sphere I have lost a model of integrity. Thanks Paul and Joyce for being lifelong friends of the Potts’

Kendra and Steve, Joyce, Kim, Kevin and Kathy and family...I was saddened to hear of your dad's (Paul's) passing. It is hard losing your dad...your role model, your rock, your mentor. Paul, had a zest for life and certainly brought a sense of humour along with it. Remember the fun times, the crazy family adventures and the joy he brought to so many student's lives. I certainly remember meeting your dad at the county shop, when my dad used to take me to work with him (many moons ago). Peace be with you all. I know you'll cherish the wonderful memories with tears, laughter and much laughter. Thinking of all of you at this time of loss. Cheryl and Darren Faber (Underwood)"

Mr. Statia was my Principal at Howick Public School. I always remember him greeting us in the morning with warmth and a huge smile. He never missed the opportunity to check in with you when he was on yard duty. He left a lasting impression on me and was my favourite principal in all my years in school. Even at my young age you knew he had passion for teaching and to see his students become successful. Deepest Condolences to all his family. He was a great man.

Paul, always lovingly referred to us as "Mr. Statia" was Principal/Teacher when I attended Turnberry Central Public School many years ago. I will never, ever forget the kindness he showed to me in Grade 8. My home life at the time wasn't the greatest and I was also bullied terribly that year. I remember fondly discussing our mutual fondness of Anne Murray and the care he gave me during those moments when I was upset or crying. The love and support he gave to me that year quite literally saved my life. I will always cherish my these memories as I'm sure will the many other students whose lives he touched. Time to rest now Mr. Statia.

I am very sorry to hear of Paul's passing. I worked at Grey Central when Paul was Principal and it was a great time working on the outdoor education areas. I have many fond memories of my time there and still get together with former staff as we look back on the "Great days at Grey". Paul put a lot of his heart and soul into the school, the staff, the students. My sincere condolences to his family and friends.

Ever since I met Mr. Statia as my Principal at Howick Central he continued to unexpectedly appear throughout my travels. At a garden center, he happened to drive the bus we hired for a junior farmers trip to the Royal, then Kim started to date my cousin. Such a lovely man and what a great life lived.
