During his 17 years at the Prospect Park Tennis Center, Paul made an indelible impression on everyone who knew him, especially on the thousands of kids and adults that benefited from his tireless dedication to them and to the game of tennis. He treated the kids in the Junior Development Program as if they were his own, and he radiated sensitivity and kindness. He is survived by sisters Jane, Gail, Joy and girlfriend Mary. Prospect Park Alliance welcomes donations in honor of Paul Curtin and in recognition of his long contribution to developing youth tennis. 100% of all contributions will be put towards a scholarship fund that will provide subsidized access to youth programs for kids who would otherwise be unable to participate: https://donate.prospectpark.org/PaulCurtin

Dear Paul, this is unexpected and really sad. After running for a life, when I eventually was so lucky to have the time and money to get back to play, I had that incredible present to have you as a teacher for a couple of years for adult classes and get back to my teen years, even only for a couple of decent shots per night. The passion for this sport not always goes together with intensity, competence and intelligence. Last year my child started the program and he also got quickly the sense of the priviledge to share a court with you. Yes, this was, has been a priviledge. You let me feel home at PPTC, eager to run and hit again. There is no bigger thing for a newcomer. Whatever is out there, if anything, you enjoy it. Thanks
