Paul naci\u00f3 el 9 de julio de 1931, siendo el primer hijo de Paul E. Zopf Sr. y Hilda E. (Russell) Zopf en Bridgeport, Connecticut. Paul se gradu\u00f3 en la Warren Harding High School en 1949 y obtuvo una licenciatura en horticultura y bot\u00e1nica por la Universidad de Connecticut, as\u00ed como una maestr\u00eda y un doctorado por la Universidad de Florida en 1955. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Paul se cas\u00f3 con Evelyn Montgomery Zopf en 1956. La pareja se traslad\u00f3 a Greensboro, donde Paul se incorpor\u00f3 al profesorado del Departamento de Sociolog\u00eda y Antropolog\u00eda del Guilford College en 1959. Su hijo, Eric Paul Zopf, naci\u00f3 en 1962. Paul se uni\u00f3 a la Junta de New Garden en Greensboro en 1968, donde, entre otras cosas, fue miembro durante mucho tiempo de la Brotherhood Class.   <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Paul era un hombre amable y tranquilo, un erudito que apoyaba a sus alumnos. Ascendi\u00f3 en los rangos acad\u00e9micos de Guilford, llegando a ser catedr\u00e1tico y recibiendo el t\u00edtulo de profesor Charles A. Dana. Ejerci\u00f3 como director del departamento durante 13 a\u00f1os, as\u00ed como decano acad\u00e9mico asociado de transici\u00f3n. En 1978, recibi\u00f3 el Premio a la Excelencia Docente de la universidad. Se jubil\u00f3 en 1993, a\u00f1o en que fue nombrado jefe de ceremonias del Guilford College. Fue un investigador y escritor prol\u00edfico, autor o coautor de 14 libros.     <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Los valores cu\u00e1queros inspiraron gran parte de la investigaci\u00f3n, los escritos y el servicio a la comunidad de Paul. Cre\u00eda en la igualdad y la justicia para todos. Fue consultor de la Comisi\u00f3n de Greensboro sobre la Condici\u00f3n Jur\u00eddica y Social de la Mujer, a la que aport\u00f3 un perfil demogr\u00e1fico exhaustivo de las mujeres de la ciudad y otro perfil sobre los ingresos y la pobreza de las mujeres de la localidad. Cre\u00eda que las ciencias sociales sin acci\u00f3n social no alcanzan su potencial y que la acci\u00f3n social sin ciencias sociales suele ser err\u00f3nea e ineficaz. Esta creencia se vio reforzada por su pertenencia a varias sociedades profesionales, como la Asociaci\u00f3n Americana de Sociolog\u00eda, la Uni\u00f3n Internacional para el Estudio Cient\u00edfico de la Poblaci\u00f3n, la Sociedad Sociol\u00f3gica del Sur y el Population Reference Bureau.    <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Paul era un h\u00e1bil ebanista cuya casa est\u00e1 llena de sus muebles (estilos Hepplewhite y Reina Ana), restauraciones y detalles arquitect\u00f3nicos, muchos de ellos creados con las herramientas manuales de su padre a partir de madera desechada de los edificios remodelados del Guilford College. Era un \u00e1vido jardinero org\u00e1nico, fruto de su origen agr\u00edcola, cuyas flores y hortalizas crec\u00edan junto a su casa para disfrute de todos. Cultivaba y conservaba grandes cantidades de alimentos cada verano. Tambi\u00e9n le encantaba trabajar y jugar con las palabras y soltaba muchos chistes breves.   <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Uno de los dones m\u00e1s apreciados de Paul fue su ministerio de escribir cartas. Las numerosas tarjetas que enviaba por correo inclu\u00edan notas manuscritas de aliento, celebraci\u00f3n, p\u00e9same, recuerdos y mucho afecto a lo largo de los 65 a\u00f1os en los que enriqueci\u00f3 a Guilford, a la Junta de New Garden y a la comunidad de Greensboro en general. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Paul falleci\u00f3 antes que su esposa durante 60 a\u00f1os, Evelyn Zopf, en 2016; su hermano, Robert Zopf; as\u00ed como sus padres y sus abuelos maternos inmigrantes, Henry y Wilhelmina Russell.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Le sobreviven su hijo, Eric Paul Zopf (Carol Baird); una hermana, Evelyn Zopf Hahner; una cu\u00f1ada, Maxine Zopf; y cuatro sobrinos y sobrinas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Zopf\u2014Paul Edward Zopf Jr., de 94 a\u00f1os, el 9 de octubre de 2025, tras una breve enfermedad, en Greensboro, Carolina&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5090,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[9829],"tags":[],"fpb_issue_category":[25328],"class_list":["post-3138540","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-hitos","fpb_issue_category-agosto-de-2026"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.1 -
