Oh My Touchdown Heaven

Dale Buhl

Monday, August 21, 2006

Vickie, my memories of Paul and I as young sports guys on WSUI, University of Iowa, in the late-'50s are as fresh as if it were yesterday. You might recall that Bobbi and I met you and Paul many years ago as we traveled through your area. As everyone has already said, Paul was the kind of person the rest of us would like to have been. In our days on campus we had a wonderful rapport, but in the studio, where we did a dual prime time sportscast each night, it should have been called the Dorkie and Doofus show. I was two years older than Paul, with more experience, so I should have been a role model. But we discovered that we could not look at each other without laughing, no matter how hard we tried. Many of the listeners on the Oldest Station West of the Mississippi thought it hilarious when we broke up and couldn't read the news. Some others, like the program director, didn't think it so funny. Since we alternated reading the sports stories of the day, the one who was not reading would turn his back, or bury his face behind the copy, or walk away until it was his turn, but all failed. That newscast was much anticipated each night by many listeners who wrote the station, and there were few nights that we didn't try to stifle a snicker, or outright laugh. We couldn't explain the effect we had on each other. Well, those are the kinds of things memories are made of. Paul stayed with sports and went on to become the kind of professional everyone loved and admired. I should have been so fortunate. I share your loss, and the grief his death has caused the State of Arkansas. It was only a year ago that I lost another air-mate, Pete Taylor, in Des Moines, Iowa, whose death elicited the same reaction in Iowa as did Paul's in Arkansas. God bless you and the family.

Like so many of the others who have talked about missing Paul, I too can remember my dad turning down the TV volume and turning up Paul's play by play. You always knew it was fall in Arkansas when you heard his voice. In moving to California, I was not able to see many games last year but I could hear Paul's voice on the internet and it made me feel more at home. We will all miss Paul and what he meant to us Arkansans. The angels are rejoicing, however, with this great addition to Heaven. God Bless your family.

God must have needed the best sportscaster of all time, and a perfect gentleman all in one. Since the first time I met Paul, he seemed like a friend that I had known forever. Vickie, you and your family are in our prayers.

As for being a Razorback fan from the beginning of my existence, I thank my parents for raising me that way. As for getting to know you while working for the University of Arkansas S.I.D. office, I thank my major. As for the way you've touched my life in so many ways over the years, I thank God. I'll miss you deeply and there will never be another Arkansas touchdown that doesn't remind of you. Thank You for everything!

I first knew Paul when I was the assistant sports information director here at the University of Alabama, and then later when I was SID at UT Chattanooga. He was always very helpful and went out of his way to shower me with acts of kindness. Even though it might be a few years between meetings, whenever I was around Paul, it seemed as though it just yesterday that I had last seen him. Beyond his greatness as an announcer (and I thought he was the best play-by-play man in the SEC), his greatness as a human being is what I will remember most. Rest well, my old friend.

Kathy Vining DeLone

Oh, my....what a loss. Paul was a great friend to me. Vickie, I continue to pray for you and the family. May the love and support of all those who loved Paul and you continue to uplift you during this time of sorrow and give you strength daily. I will miss him.

I met Mr Eells in the early 1970's when he was at WSM in Nashville. He was 1st class all the way and was loved by many in this area. We hated to see him leave in 1978 to go to Arkansas. He was missed. Now, sadly, we have to say goodbye to him again. This time for good. Paul, you will be missed!

In my 29 years of life, I've only heard Mr. Paul Eells voice each season during my beloved Razorback games. After leaving Arkansas 6 years ago, I missed being able to watch the Razorback games but would feel back at home when I logged on-line to listen to the ballgame and heard his voice. I know that I will miss him dearly this year and every year from here on out. My thoughts and prayers are with the Eells' family and the state of Arkansas for they have truely lost an icon.

Debra Corker

Tuesday, August 8, 2006

The preacher preached at my church how small we are in comparison to God, that was really humbling, and to think how much Paul was loved and will be miss just doesn't compare to the love that God has for us. Channel 7 and the razorbacks will never be the same!!

Fran Johnson

Tuesday, August 8, 2006

My husband and I were visiting with our childern at the church where Paul and his wife attend on the Sun. before the accident. He was at the door visiting with many different people. His bible under his arm and wife by his side. I ask out grandaughter "Who is that" Both hands went up in the air and she said "He's the touchdown man. " He touched everyone even 5 year old little girls. May God comfort your family.

What a tremendous loss! His love for our state and the Razorbacks was incredible. We all have a great job ahead of us to fill the void that Paul's death has left on the earth! God bless and comfort the Eell's and KATV family.

Judy Zorn

Tuesday, August 8, 2006

Let me say that I am not a sports person. But I did like Paul and his voice. He seemed like a nice guy that everyone liked. I always knew it was fall when he would be announcing the Razorback games and he would say his every winning "TOUCH DOWN ARKANSAS". It saddened me to see a really nice guy be taken away from us so soon. To the Eells family God bless you all. Judy Zorn

I was fortunate enough to have met Mr Eells. He was a close friend and neighbor to my Grandmother Alma Prince and her Husband Perry, who also has passed away this week. We all had breakfast one morning years ago. It will be something I will remember forever. My prayers are with you all. Mr. Paul will be missed tremendously. "Oh My"

As avid Razorback fans, my husband and I had the privilege to meet Paul on numerous occasions both at home games and on the road. We were always delighted to share a few moments with him, especially since my husband and I have literally grown up with Paul, listening to him as the "Voice of the Razorbacks." We are truly saddened by his passing and hope you find comfort and solace in family and friends, and even in strangers like us who felt we knew him. He was definitely the kindest man we have ever met. We thank you for sharing Paul with us.

Paul always brightened the Oaklawn press box when he came over for a big race. I was lucky enough to be in his foursome one year for the Jim Elder golf outing. There are two greats, together now.

I was a student at Hendrix College in the late '80s. We were/are a very small school and at that time we had no full-time sports information department. Those duties were usually handled by an eager, sports loving kid on work-study and for a couiple of years back then I was that kid. It was my responsibility to contact all media after our home basketball games to report the final score. I remember calling Channel 7 the first time and actually getting Paul Ells on the phone. I had no idea that the anchor would actually be the one answering the phone! Anyway, I gave the score and he was SO NICE and excited. He made me feel that his sports report was not going to be complete unless he got the score of the Hendrix College basketball game. He made me feel that way every single time I called for the two year period that I held that position. It made a great impact on me as far as showing me how to treat people. He was a great example for us all. Thank you.

We feel privileged to have known Paul through our business. He was always gracious and eager to help with any project. He treated everyone like his best friend and made everyone feel special. He always had a smile and a kind word. What a wonderful world this would be if we could all follow his example.

Beth Ward

Sunday, August 6, 2006

As I read some of the notes written in the guestbook, I was reminded this is such a tribute to Paul's life. As I went about the week...everyone was talking about what a wonderful, caring and giving man he was...and how much he will be missed. Prayer is all I can offer at this time. Hopefully time will heal part of the hurt and pain you're going through just now. God is a good God and will comfort you now and in coming days. Just know Paul will be missed by all of us in and out of the television business.

I pray knowing your sorrow and loss is shared by so many will somehow lessen your grief and make it more bearable!

We remember all the times we listened to the Razorback games on the radio, or television and Paul would say "Touchdown Arkansas", then we would scream and shout. We enjoyed listening to Paul, and the razorback games will never be the same. He made the games come more alive than they already were. Our prayers go out to his family. Remember Paul is still saying "Touchdown Arkansas". We truly loved him.

My thought and prayers goes to Paul Eells family during this time of sorrow. May GOD be with you during this time. Always ask GOD for strength he will give it to you. When you go through the phrase of anger just go somewhere and say a small prayer to GOD to help you get through this anger and GOD will give you comfort. Trust me I know I lost my big brother July 6, 1993 and lost my Daddy on March 31, 2001 and GOD help me get through it all with the anger and not beleive that they were gone.

I had the priviledge of knowing Paul for over 40 years, first meeting him when he worked for WMT-TV in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. I had attended the University of Arkansas and was happy the day that Paul became a Razorback. Every time that I would see him at a Razorback event he took the time to say hi, and talk about family and friends back in Iowa. He will be truly missed but never forgotten. My thoughts and prayers go out to him and his family. What an honor to have known him.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the Eells family. We know he was much loved whereever he was. We used to watch him on tv when he was in Nashville, TN. He is still remembered with fond memories here in the Nashville viewing area. When the announcement was made the other day by his old pal here you could see the loss in his face and hear the sorrow in his voice. They played Mr. Eell's last time on tv here and you could see and hear the sense of loss his leaving would create for everyone. God be with you.

I never had the pleasure to meet Mr. Eells, but I grew up watching him and he always seemed like a wonderful person. You just have a good feeling about some people, and I always had a good feeling watching him. My wife and I relocated to Austin from Little Rock so that she could pursue her PHD, and I'll never forget the day she came home in 2003 with a beaming smile because she ran into Paul Eells on the UT campus. She told me how they talked about the Razorbacks and what brought her to Austin, she was amazed at how down to earth he was. I'm truly going to miss him, but I also know he's in a Better Place. God Bless!

Renee Robinson

Friday, August 4, 2006

To the Eells family, My family grieves with your family and the KATV family. So many Christians act one way during church and act in a totally opposite manner when they leave the pew. Paul was a living example of how to live a godly life, both during and after Sunday morning services. The state of Arkansas was blessed by his presence. I know it was not easy having Paul working so many long hours. Thank you for sharing his passion for sports and journalism. Thank you for sharing Paul Eells with Arkansas. It will be impossible to watch Razorback sports broadcasts without thinking about Mr. Eells and remembering his voice. My family is praying for your strength.

Paul is the model of how a person should be. I get frustrated with some people who claim to be religious but don't show it by their actions. Paul reinforces my belief that God is real and God is good. Paul Eels was a true man of God. Our loss is Heaven's gain.

I want to express my sympathy and let you know our prayers are with each of you. I met Mr. Eells soon after ya'll came to Little Rock, at a school function. He was a very nice man.

We all know Paul Eells is in a better place. God bless you all. Time will help.

The Battisto Family

Friday, August 4, 2006

We had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Eells at a Little Rock Razorback game several years ago. Our son was 10 at the time and Paul took several moments to talk to him and encourage him to continue to play the many different sports he was involved in. As avid Razorback fans, Paul can never be replaced as the voice of the Razorbacks. We will miss him greatly. God bless the Eells family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

I grew up in Louisiana, Tiger from birth. Moved here in 86' at 35 years of age. I have been a Razorback since the first " Touchdown Arkansas". He made the sun a little brighter, the highs a little higher, and the lows just a bump in the road. Paul will forever be my favorite Razorback and the benchmark of how a man should represent himself on this earth.

Kevin McGuire

Friday, August 4, 2006

Growing up in Arkansas, and knowing Paul Eells as the only voice of the Razorbacks since the day he came, it makes me very sad that I will never hear this great man's live voice again. A true classic gentleman will be missed my many. Thanks for the great memories Paul, you will be truly missed.

Memories are what sustain us through times like this. Sometimes we ask why and that might never be answered. We must keep the faith and REMEMBER the love that Paul spread across the state and afar.

Brent Jensen

Friday, August 4, 2006

I never met Paul but feel like he is a part of my family. He has been a part of my family for 28 years. I grew up watching him on TV and listening to him on the radio. Even though it was the farthest thing from his mind, he succeeded in becoming an icon in this state but more importantly, he was a member of thousands of families. While he won’t be with us physically, I know he will be watching the games from above and if we all listen closely, I know that when the Razorbacks score we will be able to hear him say, “TOUCHDOWN ARKANSAS, OH MY!”

Joe and Lisa Richardson

Friday, August 4, 2006

Memories are what sustain us through times like this. Sometimes we ask why and that might never be answered. We must keep the faith and REMEMBER the love that Paul spread across the state and afar. May God bless each one that was touched by Paul and especially be there to comfort his family and friends through this time.

Scottie will never forget the sandwich Paul shared with him on the golf course 5 years ago when Scottie was only 7 years old. Paul was always his buddy when spotted on TV or in person. I too appreciated the help Paul was always more than willing to provide with the various Razorback events I managed. Our hearts, thoughts, and prayers are with you family!

Our heartfelt condolences to your family. God needed a good play-by-play man so he took the best. I moved from Warren, Arkansas to North Carolina when I got married 20 years ago, but I still love my razorbacks and Paul. Since I moved, I have listened to the games on the internet just so I could hear Paul's calls. I never met him, but always felt like I knew him. I will miss him greatly.

Tracy and Morgan Finn

Friday, August 4, 2006

WE NEVER PERSONALLY MET PAUL BUT GREW UP WITH PAUL. I HAVE GONE TO RAZORBACK GAMES ALL MY LIFE AND HE WAS ALWAYS THERE I CAN'T EVER THINK OF ONE WHERE HE WASN'T THERE AND THE GREAT THING IS I KNOW THAT HE WILL STILL ALWAYS BE THERE IN SPIRIT AND WHEN THE HOGS SCORE HE'LL BE IN HEAVEN YELLING TOUCH DOWN ARKANSAS.

I just want to express my sympathy to the family. I so enjoyed listening to Paul broadcast the Hog games, and like so many others turned down the sound on television in order to hear Paul. I am so glad to know he was a Christian and he is now in heaven. Please know that many prayers and thoughts are with you during this tragic loss.

This thought has comforted me in the loss of someone I loved deeply. "I am not lost, but living still. For dying merely frees us to walk in angel's gardens, hand-in-hand with Jesus." May all your family and friends find comfort in memories of the magnificent life you had here on earth. Paul, you will be sadly missed.

Tony Rodgers

Friday, August 4, 2006

Mrs. Vickie - I met you last year in the swimming pool of the North Little Rock Senior Citizen Center and you were kind enough to visit and share your MS story with me. You also prayed for my Son, Mike, who has MS and I thank you so much. Paul and I shared being "the voice of something". He was and always will be the "voice of the Razorbacks" while I got to serve as "Voice of the Vilonia Eagles" for 39 years. I know Paul loved his job just as I did mine. We appreciate you sharing your husband with all of us in the State and our prayers are with you and your family at this time. Tony Rodgers, Vilonia

Although I never met Mr. Paul, I feel like I have known him all my life and I am not a sports lover. But when I watched the news or was around someone watchinging the game Paul made his presence known. I'm deeply sorry for your loss. I am proud to be form a state who's love and respect for a man such as Mr. Ells is shown by the outpouring love of it's citizens.

Pfc Billy Lawson

Friday, August 4, 2006

I am an Arknasas native who is currently serving the nation. I was truly shocked when I read the headline. Mr. Eells was the voice of the Hogs for as far back as I have been watching Arkansas football and basketball. I meet him and his wife at the Golden Corrall in North Little Rock with my sister. I did not know the man, but Paul and his wife took time away from their dinner to talk with us. He was a good man. I will keep the family in my prayers. Know that he will be missed by many.

Jeffrey & Viola Jones

Friday, August 4, 2006

We wish to extend our sincere and heartfelt sympathy and condolences to the Eells family in this time of loss, sorrow and grief. We have been severely shaken and personally stricken by his untimely death. He will be sorely missed and each subsequent Razorback ballgame will now be just a reminder of how much we have lost and that will never be the same without his play-by-play that made Paul not only our favorite but all of Arkansas' favorite sportscaster. It is as if a member of our own family has suddenly been taken from us and in a way, he was as much a member of our family as any other relative, whether by blood or marriage. We have enjoyed his company for his entire tenure at KATV Channel 7. His constantly smiling contenance will be our most precious memory whenever we recall with much nostalgia his signature style of commentary and distinctive vocal style of "Calling the Hogs." Please accept our condolences and always remember that "He never truly dies who is not forgotten" and because of that Paul Eells will live forever in the hearts and minds of all men now and forever more. There is a poem that I think expresses most completely the way in which Paul himself would wish us to remember him and we post it here in his memory: Do not stand by my grave and weep by Mary E. Frye 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 softly falling snow, I am the gentle showers of rain, I am the field of ripening grain. I am in the morning hush, I am in the grateful rush Of beautiful birds in circling flight. I am the star-shine of the night. I am in the flowers that bloom. I am in a quiet room. I am in the birds that sing. I am in each lovely thing. So do not stand by my grave and cry. I am not there. I did not die. We will love and revere his memory always. Sincerely, Jeffrey and Viola Jones

I never formally met Mr. Eells, but like the rest of the state, I certainly knew who he was. About 8 years ago, I was with my son at the Maumelle Kroger. My son, Rett, was around 6 months old. I was looking for something on an aisle and Rett was sitting in the shopping cart. I heard a woman's voice say "Paul, look at this baby!". I turned around and the couple was Paul and Vickie Eells! Mr. Eells smiled at me and Rett and said, "He sure is a cutie!". They went on about their business and so did we, but I will never forget that small, sweet moment ! Rett has heard ever since that "The Voice of the Razorbacks" thinks he's "a cutie"!

I am sure that whatever God's reward for a man's faith is, you are at the top of the list to receive it. As tough as it is for us to say goodbye to you, it would have been tougher for you to say goodbye to us. If you get the opportunity, find out if Brandon Burlsworth was "looking down on us" that day in 1999.

Gregory Smith

Friday, August 4, 2006

My prays are with the Family during this time. I never got the chance to meet Mr. Eells. I enjoy hearing on the radio calling the Hogs. But most of I love how he stood on his faith in God.

I grew up watching and listening to Paul Eells all my life. He sent chills up and down my spine calling Razorback games. But the best thing about Paul is he knew the Lord and loved people. I want to be just like Him in the way I live my life.

Helen Pfeiffer

Friday, August 4, 2006

In just a few weeks the Razorback's will be starting their 2006-2007 season, but it will not be the same without Paul "THE VOICE OF THE RAZORBACKS". You will be missed. May God bless and comfort the Eells family.

Randall Floyd

Friday, August 4, 2006

Mrs. Eells and family: Even though I never met Mr. Eells personally, I do feel I know him because of the great work he did with KATV and the Razorbacks. Just like all Arkansans I will truly miss hearing and seeing him callin the Ark. games, but I feel he will continue to call our games..only from a heavenly view. He also was a fair, sincere journalist who reported sports without personal bias views. May God continue to bless you and I will keep you in my prayers.

Matt Brown

Friday, August 4, 2006

Even though I didn't know Mr. Eells personally, I did run across him a few times at social functions, and he always had a kind smile on his face and a warm "hello" for those who crossed his path. Our state has lost a truly wonderful example and friend, and he will be missed.

Joey Hall

Friday, August 4, 2006

Rest in peace Paul. The sound of your voice always takes me back to all the great moments I have experienced following the Razorbacks through the years. You were there for all of them; as you will be for all the great moments to come. Not in body, but in thoughts and memories of Razorback fans everywhere. Oh My!

Thank you Paul for all the wonderful years as the "Voice of the Razorbacks" and for all the lives that you touched during your time here on earth. You were truly a wonderful person and we will all miss you dearly. I was so grateful to have had the opportunity to visit with you once again at the Brooks Robinson's Golf Classic. Every time that I visited with you over the years, you were always the same no matter what was going on around you. You always took the time to show your deep concern for your fellow man. You could tell that from your smile, because it came from your heart through your eyes. My deepest sorrows go out to the Eells' and the Burton families.

Chandra Handley

Friday, August 4, 2006

My heartfelt condolences go out to Paul's family at this time of great loss. I had the pleasure of working with Paul when I first started my career in broadcast. He is truly the warmest, most caring and genuine individual that everyone says he is. I am so greatful that I had the honor of knowing and working with Paul. I will never forget his smile and upbeat attitude about life. May God give his family the comfort they need at this time. Take comfort in knowing that Paul touched so many lives in such a positive way and made this world a much better place through the way God blessed him. My prayers are with Paul's family. God Bless Chandra Handley

I've been attending Razorback games with my Dad since I was 7. Paul is the only announcer I've ever known. I had the privilege of meeting him in person last year at Football 101. I have the pictures I took of him that night in my Razorback scrapbook. They are priceless to me now! I am so very sorry for your loss. There is a huge void in the State of Arkansas on this day. We were all so very blessed to have known him!

Our thoughts and prayers are with the family at this time. Paul was a wonderful man and a true ambassador for the state of Arkansas. His familiar voice will be missed both on the air and in locations all over the state where he would carry on conversations with the friends that he had just met for the first times. If as individuals in this great state, we can learn one thing from this tragic event, it should be to try and live a life with no enemies, because that is what Paul was able to accomplish. God Bless the Eells family and just a thought for Paul that I know he'd enjoy: Woooooooooo, Pig! Sooie! and thank you. The Webster Family McRae, AR

It was evident , even from a viewer/listeners perspective, how much he loved his profession and was, without question, one of the best , if not the best, in the nation. We were blessed to have him in our homes, lifting our spirits in a Razorback loss and taking us to the highest heights of excitement when he cheered "Touchdown Arkansas." We were fortunate to have him for 28 years. God bless you and thank you for allowing a state to grieve with you. David and Karen Harris

Thank you for all the wonderful memories you have left us with. We will miss you dearly, but there is no doubt that we are all better for having known you. While we may never hear another "TOUCHDOWN, ARKANSAS, OH MY!" on the airwaves again, it will echo forever in our hearts. Thank you, Paul, for being you.

I can't imagine facing the next sports season without Paul at the mike. He WAS Arkansas sports and it feels like I have lost a family member. Paul was everything we all aspire to be. My deepest sympathies to his family and to Razorback fans everywhere. He will be sorely missed. Sincerely, Marcia Haines

Thank you so much for allowing the State of Arkansas and the University of Arkansas to have a major part of your lives. Even though the majority of us never had the privilege and honor of meeting Mr Paul in person, we, too, feel as if we've lost a dear loved one. We will never be able to completely fill the emptiness we are experiencing with this great loss. With all my love and respect to the Eells Family.....Jimmy Langrell

Joe Akridge

Friday, August 4, 2006

All of my great memories of being a Razorback fan have Paul attached to them. I am so sorry for the loss of your Husband, Father, Grandfather and Brother. Years ago I met Paul at a Golf Tournament at North Hills CC. He was gracious and talked to me. At the time I was amazed at how approachable he was. Just a real normal sweet man. Again I am so sorry for your loss.

David Crane

Friday, August 4, 2006

I was born the year began your career as the voice of the Razorback's so all I have never known is your voice. I remember my parents turning volume down on the TV and listening to you on the radio. As an adult I followed in their steps and listened to your voice. I will greatly miss you being a part of my life and I will never forget you!! My prayers are with your family.

Scott Crenshaw

Friday, August 4, 2006

In all of my 28 years, I can never remember any greater anticipation than that first Saturday every year when I could turn on the radio and hear Paul introduce the impending football year. I grew up in Oklahoma, so often the radio was our only option. I never met the man personally, but all the kind words that have been spoken all week construct an image of a very gracious man; exactly the way I had pictured all along. There will always be a void after the Hogs score a touchdown and in my heart (and head), I will always hear a "TOUCHDOWN ARKANSAS, OH MY!". Thank you for all the wonderul memories. Rest in Peace.

I don't have the words to say what a special man Paul was. Humble, unassuming, gracious, kind...they are all true, but all fall short. May God's hand be especially near to Paul's family in the week's and months to come. Paul will be forever missed but truly never forgotten.

Brad Caldwell

Friday, August 4, 2006

We all feel like we lost a friend. We have allowed Paul to come into our homes for many years. Paul is the only voice of our beloved Razorbacks that I have ever known. Imagining the Razorbacks without Paul is impossible right now. It's tough to lose somebody like this, but I know it's even tougher for the Eells family. Even though Paul felt like our family he wasn't, he felt like our friend we were no more that acquaitances. To the family I am sorry b/c I know that Paul was a good and genuine man. I met him one time and it was obvious then that he was a man of integrity. We mourn a loss, but we know that you have a whole in your heart that will never be replaced. To the family I am reminded of an old hymnal. "There's not a friend like the lowly Jesus, no not one, no not one." In your time of trial He is there to comfort you, and He will be there for you. Depend on Him and He will see you through. Find Him and Mr. Eells isn't gone forever but just a time because I feel that he went to heaven and I know that you can see him again.

Philip Darr

I used to work in a Christian Bookstore when Paul came by the store just after closing time. He did not insist on coming in, but upon my request came in. Who would not let the "Voice of the Razorbacks" in. He bought a Franklin Electronic bible from me. I could tell his heart was in the right place and his future secure. May God bless the Eells family during this trying time.

Paul always made listening to Razorback games more enjoyable and will never be adequately replaced. Everytime I saw him on TV, I would say to my wife, "There's the nicest guy in television." It got to be a running joke in our house. Every time I ran into Paul at a function or golf tournament, he was always so nice and asked me how my dad (Bill Clark) was doing. You are in our prayers.

Ms. Vickie, There are no adequate words during times like these. Just cling to the wonderful memories you have and the promises of eternity in heaven found in His word. I know that's what Paul would want all of us to do. What a joy it has been to know you both for the past eight years! And as I told you Wednesday evening, we will stay in touch. As he was ushered into heaven, I can just hear Paul say, "OH MY!" The girls and I love you much. Tim P.

Rhonda D.

Friday, August 4, 2006

My sister and I grew up listening to the voice of Paul Eells. I guess you could say that we were born Razorback fans. Maybe it was the matching little Razorback outfits we wore home, or the "Big Game" that was on when we were born, which my mother insisted she had to listen to during delivery, while at the same time telling the doctor to hurry up and get these girls out of here so I can teach them to call the hogs. If my parents were alive today, they would be deeply saddened by this tragedy. Paul was loved by everyone, whether they knew him or not. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends during this difficult time. Thanks for the memories, Paul!

Robert Baxter

Friday, August 4, 2006

Mr. Eells embodied the spirit of the Razorbacks and was a wonderful representative for Arkansas. Without a doubt, he loved Arkansas and his Razorbacks. We loved him back and were always proud that he adopted our state and team.

Blake Harrell

Friday, August 4, 2006

I will never forget the crisp sounds of Paul's voice over the radio as a kid. As many generations of Razorback fans did,I grew up listening to Paul. You could recognize that anywhere on the radio dial as you searched for the Razorback game. Paul will be missed greatly. I can just imagine Paul arriving in Heaven and saying "Oh my".

Linda Dodd Lipscomb

He wasn't just the "Voice of the Razorbacks". He was the voice TO the Razorback Nation. He was the eyes and ears on the game for those of us who couldn't make it in person. He brought the excitement to us week after week. Even when the games were televised, his was the voice and description we wanted to hear. I will truly miss him. My heart goes out to you, his family. You are in my prayers. Thanks for all the memories and the excitement, Paul!

I wish to express my heartfelt sympathies to the Paul Eels family. He made my life more enjoyable while I followed the Hogs, and religiously watched Paul Eels on kATV channel 7 every night. I share a common bond with Paul. He was the same age as my mother, and I have the same birthday as Paul. Now every year when I remember my birthday, I will think of Paul Eels. I know he is in Heaven today, sitting at the feet of His Lord and Saviour. God bless the Paul Eels family, and please know that this Arkansan will never forget him.

Arkansas has truly lost a great friend! My husband had the privilege of playing golf with him in a tournament in L.R. in the last yr. or so & was impressed with his enthusiam & jovial demeanor. He considered it a privilege to have met him & to have been a part of this fun day. Even though neither of us knew him personally, we felt like he was a part of our lives since we love the Razorbacks as he did & always enjoyed his enthusiam when announcing any kind of sports event. We will cherish the memories of his voice & his ability to make you feel like you were at each event even though you were not. We will truly miss him! Our sympathy is extended to his wfie & other family members for their great loss.

Ms Vickie & the Eells family, Our hearts are so heavy with grief and we can only imagine how hard this is for you but there is a plan that is bigger than any of us and this is the Master's plan. Sometimes it's hard, very hard to understand and maybe never is but we have to trust GOD and try to realize the importance of this part of the ultimate plan for all of us here in our temporary home. You will see Paul again and he will have wonderful stories to share with all of you of his glorious trip. He had to make this trip alone but someday very soon, you will be reunited with your husband, father, & grandfather. Be patient and strong as Paul would want and hold on to the fact that there will be a homecoming. God bless you all & the entire state of Arkansas is praying for peace for your family.

Paul was an inspiration to us all. We will truly miss the "Touchdown Arkansas" and the "Oh Mys".....come to think of it, how will we do without them? The first game will be rough......but knowing he will be watching us, I guess we have to continue on - that is what he would want us to do - Go Hogs!!! God Bless the Eells family.

He truly exhibited the love of God in his life and this testimony will forever live in the lives of all who knew him. Thank you, to the family for sharing him with the public all these years. He truly became a part of our family as we watched and listened to him. May God bless and comfort you

We will truly miss Paul, he was such a sweet man! Find this poem and thought you would like it. A heart of gold stopped beating, two wonderful eyes are at rest, god broke our hearts to prove to us he takes only the best. God knew you had to leave us, but you did not go alone; for a part of us went with you the day he took you home. To some you are forgotten, to some a part of the past, but to those who lost and loved you , Your Memory Will Always Last.

My heartfelt prayers are with you all during this sad & tragic time. Paul is a man that makes you feel like you were just as important a person to him as was any of the more well known people he associated with. He is a true mentor & an example of the kind of person that we should all strive to be. No finer man could have represented the people of Arkansas and such a humble man of God. I think that when he sits beside our Father above, leans over & whispers "Oh My" how beautiful it is, the Angels will know that we in deed had one of the best among us, if only for a short time. God Bless and know that Paul will always live through our hearts & thoughts ....Forever

ARKANSAS HAS LOST A FAMILY MEMBER. I MEET HIM A COUPLE OF TIMES AND WAS ALWAYS AMAZED AT HOW NICE HE WAS. I LOVED PAUL AS DO MANY MANY OTHERS DO. HE GAVE US HIS BEST AS HE CALLED THE HOGS.

Thank you for sharing Paul with us all these years!! Know that all our thoughts and prayers are with you! Danny, Debbie, Jordan and Keeton

I am so deeply sadden about the death of Paul Eells! There will never be another Paul Eells at all. No one can take his place any where. He is the only one who can call the HOGS AND TOUCHDOWN RAZORBACKS!! When football starts in a couple of weeks there will be a big void left because Paul will not be there but in our hearts. May God be with you all and please Lean on God because he is the one and only one who can actually help you to get through this tough time. Even when you go through the phase of getting mad at your husband and father that is normal so don't think your being a bad person because your not. So If you go off on someone in the next couple of weeks or months just go somewhere and say a prayer to GOD and he will help you get through it. Trust me I know I lost my Father in 2001 and my big brother in 1993. So I know what your going to be going through. Just Lean On GOD HE WILL SEE YOU THROUGH!! MAY GOD BLESS EACH AND EVERYONE OF YOU DURING THIS TIME OF SORROW.

Remembering the very special friendship of Paul Eells with many wonderful memories of times shared over the years. Paul was a true friend, greatly admired for his professionalism and many accomplishments and achievements in broadcasting as the "Voice of The Arkansas Razorbacks" and the longtime Sports Director for Channel 7 television in LIttle Rock. You were always an inspiration to me, a role model for life as a professional. and your kindness, warmth, and generosity will always remain with me. Paul, you were truly a special friend, and I will miss you very much.

i met paul at the razoback fan day in 1995 he was walking out the staduim while I was walking was in and i got his autograph and he seemed puzzled and he asked why I wanted it and i said because you are the voice of the razorbacks and i thought it would be pretty neat to have his autograph..This season would be very hard without paul there to call the hogs.. Paul was the only announcer that I've known and will sorely be missed My heart goes out to his family with their loss and the whole state of Arkansas, TOUCHDOWN ARKANSAS

For many years we have enjoyed watching Paul on TV and listening to him on the radio. We met him in Atlanta at the SEC championship game a few years ago, and visited with him for a few minutes (just before he was to go on the air) When asked if he had a minute for a picture, without hesitation he walked over, put his arm around me, smiled and wanted to know where we were from and if we were having a good time. He was one in a million, who will be missed by millions. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Mrs. Eells and Family, Let me start out by expressing my deepest sympathy and prayers to you and your family and friends. My dad and Paul were pretty good friends because daddy was such a HUGE ARKANSAS FAN and a fan of most sports in general. Also because of the WONDERFUL CHRISTIAN EXAMPLE that PAUL ALWAYS WAS....Daddy was one of those fans that would turn the tv down and listen to Pauls' TOUCHDOWN ARKANSAS! OH MY!! in all of the games too....I didn't watch/listen to a lot of games with daddy because he got so excited and a little loud for me but I would always stop and listen for Pauls' TOUCHDOWN ARKANSAS!! OH MY!! from another room ans it always gave me a chuckle and a smile. I had the PRIVILEGE of meeting Paul one time several years ago through my dad and I will never forget his genuine smile and his genuine interest in meeting me even though I was a kid and didn't know a lot about sports. I also talked to him on the phone one day and he was very helpful and genuine in trying to help me in this call too. Tam Taylor Magnolia Ar

I've never been a Razorback football fan (I'm a Golden Lion). I've never been a sports news fan, but Mr. Eels is the only person I KNOW to BE sports news. I have memories from before I even watched the news of his voice saying TOUCHDOWN ARKANSAS! He is a legend in Arkansas and will be sorely missed. My prayers are for the Eels family that you may understand that to be absent from the body is to be present with God.

My sincere condolences go out to the family of Paul Eells.

Fortunately, Paul left many wonderful memories behind. He was a class act. God Bless your family. Joel & Nancy Wood Germantown, TN

I am still in disbelief that you will not be here for the start of the season. But I know that you will be looking down on us, calling the Hogs with us, and yelling "Touchdown Arkansas" with us. I loved hearing you every gameday. I, along with thousands of Hog fans, will miss your voice and your sweet spirit. Thank you for your great love of Arkansas and the Hogs. I am praying for your family and the family of Mrs. Burton. Thanks for the memories Paul.

I did not personally know Mr. Eells, but felt like I did. I was one of those people that would mute my television set during football games just to listen to him call the games. Although there was always a slight delay on the television, it was worth it just to hear him on the radio. I knew there would be a day that his reign of “The Voice of the Razorbacks” would end, but never so tragically. He seemed to be a wonderful man that touched so many lives in this state and others. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family. I will be wearing my Razorback attire and waving Razorback flags on Friday to show my respect to a real legend. I will never forget that wonderful voice shouting TOUCHDOWN ARKANSAS, OH MY! We will miss him deeply. God bless you and your family.

Clay Bolton

Thursday, August 3, 2006

Paul, I have always heard that the measure of a person's life is made, in great part, by the positive influence that he/she had on others; whether or not the world is a better place by that person having lived. While I never had the privilege of having met you, I have friends who did and they confirm all the wonderful things that everyone has expressed about you. Certainly we are poorer for your having left us; however, the people of Arkansas will forever be immeasureably richer for your having passed our way. To a man who lived his life to the best of his ability as God gave him the power to do so. No better epitaph could be offered.

Michael

Thursday, August 3, 2006

My sincere prayers to the Eells family for the loss of Brother Paul. He was the only "voice" the Razorbacks had in my lifetime, and the only "voice" there will ever be. I was honored with the chance to meet with him a few times, had a couple pictures taken with him, and he was very kind, gracious, friendly, and always made me and others smile. It's my prayer that Gods love, mercy, and compassion will cover the Eells family during this time of loss and mourning. Michael

I had the great priviledge of meeting Paul on many occasions, I can't remember exactly how many. One thing I will always remember is how he always stuck his hand out to me, and with a big smile that was just him being himself, ask me how I was doing. Thanks for sharing this wonderful man with us for 28 great years. He may be gone for now but he will never be forgotten...TOUCHDOWN ARKANSAS....OH MY....

We share in your sorrow and ask God to give you strength in your grief, to accept the comfort that Paul’s memories will bring and that the pain of his loss will be replaced with peace in knowing that he is in the hands of the Lord. May you take comfort in knowing that many families across this great nation grieve with you in your time of sadness. I speak for all of us; those who love you, those who want to help you, those who want to comfort you but don’t know what to say. We grieve for Paul, for the love that he has shown, for the joys and sorrows we have shared. Let us all accept, Lord, that you have taken the life that you once gave and bring gentle healing to the hurt that comes with this parting, for he will live on in our memory and in our hearts.

Will Childers

Thursday, August 3, 2006

My deepest sympathies to a great man, and the best announcer the Razorbacks could have ever hoped for. There are 2 people who are responsible for me being a Hog fan, Mr. Eells and my grandfather. After my grandfather's passing in 1997, Mr. Eells voice on Saturdays always took me back to memories of my grandfather and I listening to the game. He will be greatly missed, but at least I know that he and my grandfather will get to watch the games from the best seat anywhere.

Kerry Ann Kraus

Thursday, August 3, 2006

Vicki, I've never had the pleasure of meeting you but I feel like I know you because of listening to Dellane talk about y'all's friendship. Dellane Taylor is my cousin. You and Paul have been wonderful Christian friends to her and I am very thankful to you for that. As a season football ticket holder -- and even before that -- I have spent every fall Saturday afternoon with Paul as I rooted for my beloved Hogs. This year will be a very difficult year for all Hog fans as we wait to hear the familiar and much loved "Touchdown Arkansas" and "Oh my!" May God continue to comfort you and your family as only He can. You are in my prayers.

All of us will remember the voice. But, Arkansas is mourning the loss of the man, more than the voice. Mr. Eells came into our homes, our cars, our hearts, our minds...and our Razorback souls and infected us with his joyous spirit, stimulating our imaginations and our passion. Paul Eells was always the consumate gentleman...making everyone feel better about themselves. He was a man who clearly exemplified all that Jesus taught us by being a servant to everyone who crossed his path. Paul...Arkansas loved you with it's Razorback soul. Our Razorback hearts are broken, because you are no longer with us -- not because you (now) sit at the feet of your loving Saviour, but because you are no longer here to make us all feel better about ourselves. God Bless, Paul Irving Eells! Thank God for bringing him into all of our lives!!! HoopHog

Greg & I always enjoyed listening to Mr. Eells on TV and radio. As a football coach, my husband had many opportunities to visit with Paul. As an Athletic Trainer, I too appreciated his ability to present sports in a manner all enjoyed. He always kept a positive outlook regardless of the season, the number of injuries, or any of the many other circumstances surrounding athletics. We truly appreciate all the Paul gave to our state and profession. May God continue to Bless you and remember to always turn to Him for comfort. Thanks for sharing Paul with all of us.

I grew up watching and listening to Paul on the news, and I remember when he first started working at Channel 7, his kind gentle face and voice could tell the story of a great humanitarian. He will be sorely missed by all Arkansans and we are so glad he decided to make his home in Arkansas and shared himself with us. Our earthly loss is heavens gain and I am sure his blessings there are abundant. May God bring you comfort and peace through this very difficult time.

To the Eells family, our prayers and thoughts are with you. I am a Razorback fan that like thousands others preferred to turn down the volume on TV, and/or have on earphones at a game to listen to the Voice of the Razorbacks. Paul had a way of making me feel like I was right there on the field playing the game with the players. Paul also could make a lost of a game, something positive. He was the Voice of the Razorbacks but also the Voice of the Razorback Fans. To Paul's family again, know that God is with each and everyone of you now and forever. Thank you for sharing Paul with us.

We are so truly sorry of the loss of Paul. He was so a wonderful person. Even though we did not know him personally. We liked how the way he always called the HOGS Touchdown Arkansas Oh My. He will truly be missed for a long time to come. Nobody can ever replace him calling the HOGS! But hopefully we will see him again. Vicki you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers in this time of sorrow. We will always love Paul and keep him in our hearts forever. God Bless You and your family. Larch & Jackson Families

I would like to offer my prayers to you in the recent passing of Paul. When I lived in Texas back in the 80's I would surf up and down the radio dial trying to find that familar voice on Saturdays in the fall. Granted I could have listened to the Texas announcer with less static, but I'm an Arkansan and Paul was Arkansas. I watched the games over the radio through Paul's eyes and commentary. It was a soothing little bit of home experience that I will always remember and treasure. Paul will be missed, but realize, God needed a Great Man for something very important and he chose Paul. God bless your family.

Our heart goes out to the family of Paul Eells. I had the oppurtunity to meet him at War Memorial Park years ago and he was one of the kindest gentleman I had ever met. Our loss of our beloved:Voice of the Razorbacks" is heavens gain. Right now he is probably calling play by play around heaven and loving every minute. May God Bless You Family

My heartfelt condolences go to the Eells family. I have been "physically impaired" with cerebral palsy all my life, I have been married for 27 years, I steadfastly refused to go to Razorback games with my family, that is until Paul became the Voice of the Razorbacks, Paul made the games enjoyable, and his distinctive voice will remain with me forever. May God be with all of you.

I've lived in Houston for over 20 years now. Every year when I go home for Thanksgiving a group of friends and I get together to watch the LSU/UA game with the volume down and the radio up so we could hear Paul - I really felt like I was home when I heard his upbeat voice annoucing the game. Thanks for the memories, they will always be with us. What a wonderful man. My prayers to his family at this difficult time.

Mr. Eells always reminded me of my own dad with his sweet smile and kindness shown to everyone. I enjoyed listening to him announce the games and I, along with my family, will miss him.

I was lucky enough to finally met Mr.Eells in March at the womens SEC tournament at Alltel Arena. He shook my hand & signed my program..he took the time from his busy day to make me feel important..to make me feel like he had known me all my life. His smile was genuine and real, I called my parents that night not to tell them about the games that I had seen but about the best part of the tournament..meeting Mr. Paul Eells. He will forever be missed.

My thoughts and prayers are with you. Paul had a way to may you feel like you feel when you see a newborn baby, a cute puppy, when someone holds an elderly person cross the street , a glass of hot chocolate on a cold day or a warm fireplace with your favorite book and a warm cover. When we lost him I felt empty inside I got sick to my stomach and cried. I love the razorbacks but he made then extra special.

Paul is the only human being I've ever met who truly possessed all the qualities of the fruit of the Spirit. Galatians 6:22-23 'But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control'. May we all learn from his life and be more like him.
