Mrs. Wetzig. Laura, Mike and Wetzig family,
I remember your Husband and Dad best from Laura and Mike's wedding. He made us feel so welcome in Colorado Springs and we had such a wonderful time. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Dear Family,
I was saddened to hear of the passing of Dr. Paul. I was one of his first patients as he began his practice in Colorado Springs. I was only 3 years old. Dr. Paul preformed several surgeries on my eye. I was born with Glaucoma and, in recent years, learned that was because of a condition called Sturge-Weber Syndrome. About 12 years ago I finally lost my eye and the surgeon who preformed the enucleation asked who my Opthomologist was over the years as he said he had done an outstanding job of giving me superior eye care. Most eyes diseased as mine would never have lasted so long without great knowledge of the care needed.
I remember when I was in grade school, giving a report on the history of eye glasses and Dr. Paul loaned me a pair of antique "spectales"! He was alway such a gentle, caring and concerned doctor and I would stop in to say "hi" many times after I moved from Colorado Springs. Dr. Paul always had time to chat and encourage me. May his legacy be of comfort to you at this time.

I will always treasure the time I spent with Dr. Paul. I was out of town at the time of his passing and missed the Memorial service. He was more than a very special man, he was a friend that I treasured.

Dear Mrs Paul Wetzig, Drs. Carl, Richard, and families,
I was saddened to learn of the death of Dr. Paul. I saw him first in 1970 after a serious head injury. He performed 3 eye surgeries and except for a little minor double vision in the periphery, I am well. I was very grateful for his expertise and genuine care through the years. I moved to Tucson in 1994 and continue to get my eye care at Colorado Springs Eye Clinic, now with Dr. Carl. Thanks Drs. Wetzig for being there for your patients and friends. I am honored to have been a patient of Dr. Paul's. God bless you all now and always.

I was sorry to hear of your loss. I was a patient of his when working in Colo many yrs ago. I also trained at Beth-El and was fortunate to work with him as a student and later when in the Operating Room. He was a great person, very good to me both as a nurse and patient.

Good friend and a super human being. He accomplished so much-if only we could do the same. Sincere condolences to all the Wetzig family. I feel fortunate to have known many of them and Paul.

Family and friends:
Dr. Wetzig was such a trusted and gifted opthamologist. His care for our family members in the past is still appreciated. It was my JOY to spend a short time as a care giver and serve Doctor. Even in his deterioration, he was witty and very generous in nature. I really enjoyed being with him and the family members. May memories be very precious and his legacy live eternally. Our prayers are with you!

Paul, we'll never forget the promotion party in Glen Canyon...probably the first, and last, such ceremony amid the tamarisk and mud. The hike to the top of Rainbow Bridge separated the men from the boys as we recall...meet you on the other side, friend. Better save us a place in line, at least for the next year or so.

To the Wetzig family,
My prayers and thoughts are with you all. Like so many Colorado Springs families, my family was blessed by the caring talents and skills of Dr. Wetzig. There was no equal to his gentle manners and sincere interest in patients.
We were so very lucky to be under his good care. God bless.
