OBITUARIES
Paul Denning Stull Jr.
Janice Jeanne Carpenter
Beaverton
1940 — 2021
Seaside
Nov. 2, 1942 — Sept. 13, 2021
Dr. Paul Denning Stull
Jr. died on Aug. 30, 2021,
at home in Beaverton at
the age of 81.
Paul is survived by his
wife, Alice Stull; chil-
dren, Ann Marie Clark,
Monica Christler, Paul
Stull III, Matthew Stull
and Christopher Stull;
seven grandchildren; and
his siblings, Philip Stull,
Karen Howell, Patrick
Stull and John Stull.
Paul was born in
Columbus,
Ohio,
to
Paul and Edith Stull.
He spent his childhood
in Ohio, moving to Ari-
zona and then California
in his teens. After attend-
ing several high schools,
he spent his junior and
senior year at St. Augus-
tine’s in San Diego. From
there he went on to study
chemistry, zoology and
psychology at San Diego
State University, obtain-
ing a bachelor’s degree in
1963. Immediately there-
after he moved to Wash-
ington, D.C., to study
medicine at George-
town University. During
the summer of 1964 he
briefl y returned to San
Diego to marry his col-
lege sweetheart, Alice
McKee. Their subsequent
honeymoon was an event-
ful trip across America,
driving an ancient Volk-
swagen Beetle from Cal-
ifornia to Washington,
D.C.
Following his gradua-
tion from medical school,
Paul accepted an intern-
ship in surgery, a resi-
dency in urology and fel-
lowships in nephrology
and transplantation sur-
gery at the University of
Kentucky. While in Ken-
tucky, Paul spent his sum-
mers working sunup to
sundown as the only doc-
tor in an underprivileged,
rural county in Appa-
lachia. Throughout the
1960s and early 70s Paul
also served as an offi cer
in the U.S. Navy Reserve.
Upon the completion of
his medical training in
1972 and an honorable
discharge from the Navy,
the family moved to Asto-
ria, where Paul estab-
lished a private practice
in urology, nephrology
and surgery. Within fi ve
weeks of opening his
practice, Paul performed
Clatsop County’s fi rst
transplant surgery.
Over the next three
decades Paul worked
tirelessly to care for his
community. As the only
urologist in the North-
west corner of Oregon
and the southwest corner
of Washington state, he
traveled up and down the
coast seeing patients from
Ilwaco, Washington, to
Wheeler and everywhere
in between.
Paul never rested on
his laurels. Throughout
his career he continued
to study medicine, stay-
ing abreast of the lat-
est in technique, technol-
ogy and science. He was
one of the very fi rst doc-
tors to learn and perform
ultrasound-guided radio-
active seed brachytherapy
for prostate cancer with
the innovators of the pro-
cedure at Northwest Hos-
pital in Seattle. He rou-
tinely made the 8-hour
round trip, determined to
provide his patients with
the highest level of care.
He also served for many
years on the urological
teaching staff at the Uni-
versity of Oregon’s Medi-
cal School in Portland.
In the 1980s, after see-
ing many patients and
families struggle with
end-of-life
care
and
pain management, Paul
wanted to off er his com-
munity better, more dig-
nifi ed solutions to these
diffi cult situations. He
began professional train-
ing in the up-and-com-
ing medical disciplines
of palliative care and hos-
pice management. He was
awarded the Roxane Vis-
iting Scholars Program
Fellowship at Northwest-
ern University Memo-
rial Hospital Hospice in
Chicago and he passed a
national board certifi ca-
tion in hospice and pal-
liative medicine. In the
mid-1990s, in collabora-
tion with state Sen. Joan
Dukes, he authored Ore-
gon Senate Bill 1071,
which
established
a
task force to study and
improve pain manage-
ment and end-of-life care
in Oregon. His eff orts did
not go unappreciated. He
eventually won the Eliz-
abeth Wessinger Award
for excellence in hospice
leadership. Paul went on
to become medical direc-
tor of several local hos-
pices, all while con-
tinuing to run his busy
urological practice.
Over the years, Paul
and Alice became the
proud parents of fi ve chil-
dren. His daughters and
sons all remember him for
his incredible intellect,
lifelong love of learning,
boundless
imagination
and deep devotion to his
family, friends, patients
and faith. During his time
in Astoria, Paul and his
family were active mem-
bers and supporters of
the local Roman Catho-
lic parish, St. Mary Star
of the Sea.
After retiring in 2000,
Paul and Alice eventu-
ally moved to Beaver-
ton to live closer to sev-
eral grandchildren. Paul,
or Papa, as he became
known, devoted himself
to his grandchildren, care
of Alice and tending to
his garden.
A funeral mass is
scheduled for 1 p.m. Fri-
day at St. Pius X Cath-
olic Church, 1280 NW
Saltzman Road in Port-
land. All are welcome to
attend in person. If you
wish to join virtually, you
can view the funeral Mass

Q: What are my options
for replacing a
missing tooth?
A:
Many options exist to address
this situation. Factors which
determine the best option are patient
interest, position of tooth, position
of gum level, height and width of the
bone, esthetic concerns and challenges,
condition of adjacent teeth, and patient
expectations. Available options to
consider and discuss are doing nothing,
fabrication of an economical removable
“flipper,” construction of a fixed bridge,
and placement of a dental implant
supporting an implant crown. The bridge
and implant options are the most durable,
esthetic and pleasing options to consider.
