Paul Wiers grew up in the Washington, DC, area, attending the Chevy Chase School system. He thrived academically and as a swimmer. He attended the University of Michigan with a swimming scholarship where he was an outstanding contributor to the team, narrowly missing a spot in the 1960 Olympics. He graduated with a Bachelor in Architecture. During the Vietnam era, he served as an architect at Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio, Texas. After practicing as an architect in Atlanta, GA, Paul went on to earn joint master degrees in public policy and urban planning at Harvard University's Kennedy School and Graduate School of Design. Paul married Judeth Van Hamm and had two sons, Brook and Blake, whom they raised in Hull, MA. Both sons now live in San Francisco. After completing his studies at Harvard, Paul worked as a planning consultant and director of Hull's Community Development Program. His legacy in Hull includes development of the Kenberma central business district, including bringing key businesses together and designing sidewalks, street trees, two parking lots, and storefronts, creation of trails, pond, bridge, and benches for the Weir River Woods with the Conservation Commission, street trees in several areas of town, renovation of the Town Hall and adding on the police station, the entrance sign welcoming people to town, rehabilitation of playing fields, renovation of the senior center, reconstruction of Pemberton Pier, which is used by the commuter ferry and commercial fishermen, work to recover from the Blizzard of 1978 including drainage systems, pumping stations, and rebuilding the Green Hill stairs to the beach, funding for restoration of the 1889 Pt. Allerton Life-Saving Station to be used as the Hull Lifesaving Museum, design of a performance amphitheater in the gun emplacements of Fort Revere Park, and loans and grants to low and moderate income households for housing rehabilitation. He also accomplished a major career dream in redeveloping an estate house and coach house as condominiums and apartments. Paul met Marga in 1993, after he was divorced and she was widowed, and they married on January 8, 1994 after a whirlwind courtship. Largely retired from his career, Marga and Paul enjoyed traveling around the world and many charitable and spiritual pursuits. Paul led a men's book group at a local prison and was active in All Saints Parish, Brookline. Despite numerous health challenges beginning when he was 58, skiing at Squaw Valley, when he had an aortic dissection, Paul remained very active. He wrote a true crime novel and mentored other writers, founded a website for relationship advice and actively managed real estate properties. He had a wide circle of friends and enjoyed cultural events, such as theater and concerts. True to the end to the best health for his body, he was at the gym one week before he died. He took pride in not letting his health stop him from living life. Paul got to know Marga's children, Catherine, Charles and Samantha, and was a terrific grandfather to Catherine's children, Adam and Michelle. He was also happy to welcome his son Blake's wife, Deb Thomas, when they married in 2010. Paul leaves behind a large circle of friends, family and business associates who will miss him dearly.
