Paul Moreau, 75, passed away at home in Port Ludlow, Washington, on Tuesday, June 18, 2024. Born in Seattle in 1948, he was the only child of Katherine and Rene Moreau. He completed his schooling in Seattle and obtained a Masters of Education degree from the University of Washington. Paul served in the Army National Guard from 1970 – 1976. He was a teacher and later a principal at elementary schools in the Seattle area during 1970 – 1995. He then decided to become an international educator, including as a high school science teacher in Rotterdam; technology middle school science/math teacher in Bangkok; elementary principal in Quilto, and a middle school science and robotics teacher in Taipei. After leaving Taipei, Paul moved to Seattle and then to Port Ludlow.
Paul married Bonnie on October 11, 2020 and developed a very special and loving relationship with her children and grandchildren. They named him “the world’s best grandpa ever”.
Paul was a kind, thoughtful, and loving person who cared deeply for his family and friends. He was very passionate about science, robotics, music, UW Huskies, Seahawks, and the Seattle Symphony. He enjoyed performing with the Ludlow Village Players. He loved to read, listen to music, play Sudoku, and watch Bonnie garden and do her crafts. He particularly enjoyed being with Bonnie and her family for the many family gatherings, barbeques, and sporting events in which they played or coached. He is greatly missed by his family and friends who so enjoyed his gentle presence, kindness and warm smile.
Paul is survived by his wife Bonnie, her daughter September (Jim), and their children Mason, Raina and Jake; her son Rudy and his son Shawn; and Paul’s daughter Jennifer (Jake). Paul was preceded in death by his parents.
There will be a private celebration of life ceremony for family and friends.
In lieu of flowers, Bonnie asks that donations be made to the Hospice Foundation for Jefferson Healthcare.
Family and friends are invited to share memories of Paul and sign the online guestbook at www.bradley-kosec.com.
