My sincerest condolences to the Mutimer family. I was deeply saddened to recently receive the news on Instagram as Paul and I corresponded over the social media site the past three years. He was always so supportive of my IG page and had even sent copies of his The Simple Man books to California every year as well as a thoughtful personal note.
I will always cherish my TSM collection. Although I had never met Paul in person, I knew he had a big heart and I was looking forward to watching his documentary in the works. He has truly touched my heart and I am certain the hearts of many others with his kindness and insightful wisdom. His beautiful soul has reached people on the other side of the world. He will truly be missed but his words will carry on. I have also left a tribute to him on my Instagram page.
I met Paul when we were students at CIT in 1978. He was kind, friendly and made me laugh. I ran into him many times over the years, including after he got sick, and he was always exactly the same, except for his knowledge and interest in people which continued to grow. My husband and brother both benefited from his amazing professional insight and the world was a better place with Paul in it How lucky then that he left such a lovely family to continue spreading kindness and compassion. I hope you always feel his presence in your lives.
What an amazing man your father was Henry, and hearing you and your family speak of him was very special. A piece of him is part of you and what beautiful memories you have forever. Thinking of you and all your family. Chris Kelliher
A lovely mass for such a truly precious soul.
We meet as my psychologist but he became someone I called a friend.
Pray that the treasured memories that you have of Paul comforts your broken hearts.
God Bless, RIP Dear Paul.
Love Frank
Such a beautiful moving service for a wonderful man. Taken so early in a life where he still had so much to give of himself. Will be sadly missed by all who knew him.
Dear Maureen, Henry and Kate
A fitting tribute to a lovely man.
Hadn’t seen Paul for a number of years. We were old school friends and tennis mates. Many fun times shared with much philosophising; as you can imagine.
Hoping your memories comfort you at this time and the times ahead.
Dear Maureen, Kate, Henry , Elissa and extended Mutimer family,
we felt privileged to be able to be “present” as you so eloquently farewelled your “remarkable man”.
So many tributes, so well deserved.
Paul will indeed be missed by and in the Sacred Heart Community, of which he was such an integral part.
He has left a wonderful legacy, of which he would and should be justifiably proud.
Take care.
Much love from Paul & Helen
What a beautiful tribute to a man who leaves behind a legacy that will undoubtedly live on.
Thank you, Paul, for gracing this Earth and for leaving your mark. Those you leave behind have the lessons of your strength and will continue to live out the values you helped instill in them.
❤ That man is a success who leaves the world better than he found it; who has never lacked appreciation of Earth’s beauty or failed to express it; who looked for the best in others and gave the best he had. ❤
Thank you for sharing this with us, what a beautiful ceremony. Our thoughts are with you all.
Lots of hugs from the Hirst-Imaz Clan.
Love Katy xxxxoooo
Such a beautiful service. Your amazing family paid a perfect tribute to the openness, kindness and cheekiness of your character. I only had the opportunity to meet you on a few occasions, but definitely felt the welcoming warmth and genuine interest that they spoke of. Rest peacefully Paul xx
Dear Maureen, Kate and Henry,
Peter and I were so pleased to be able to join the service. Everyone spoke so well, with beautifully crafted words from the heart. Paul would be very proud of his family today, as always. Glad to see the Kombi made an appearance.
With love,
Kaye, Peter, Cameron, Georgia and Angela
Vale Paul. Good to see the Kombi as escort. Thank you to all Paul’s family for letting us be present at the very beautiful service. With love, Kare and Ross
A beautiful tribute to a wonderful husband and father, he would have been so proud of you all. May you find comfort and strength in your happy memories. Thinking of you all at this sad time. Rest in peace Paul. x
Dear Maureen , Kate and Henry
Such a wonderful tribute to Paul and to you all.
Words straight from the heart.
He was a very special person.
Thinking of you all and sending love Maree and Greg Cahill ( McDonald)
I remember Paul as a person who had the wondeful ability to turn a failing situation into a wonderfully joyous occasion with much laughter and fun. The world will be a lot poorer for his loss.
Big hugs and kisses to all.
Maureen, Kate and Henry, the beautiful simplicity and love of Paul you demonstrated and put together with him was divine. Paul so clearly gave you the strength for your eulogies, just as we expected. Thank you so much for a very, very special occasion.
What a wonderful farewell to a loving, respected man. At peace now, no more pain, Paul. My love and prayers are with you Maureen, Kate and Henry. Love Tess.
Farewell Paul. Thank you for being such a special friend to all of us. You will always remain in our hearts, and we will cherish all of the many laughs and good times together. Our love to Maureen, Kate and Henry.
Maureen, Kate and Henry, what a beautiful service. I have not been able to stop thinking of you all. I’m so sorry we can’t all be there to hug you and cry together. But one day we will gather and honour the most magnificent man that was Paul. I feel utterly blessed to have known him. Wishing you my deepest condolences. I know you are all being held closely by those around you until we can all gather again one day. Lots of love Rebecca Russell. Love also form Ken and Jude xxxx
Dear Maureen, Henry, Kate and Eliesa, this was such a wonderful funeral service for a wonderful man. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of this service. God bless you all.

God will give you strength and always remember Paul is with God and no longer suffering.
