Paul taught me how to hit a backhand - a proper backhand that became my favorite shot. He had an ability to build and develop a skill while building confidence and enthusiasm as well. Most of our lessons or hitting sessions involved a detailed discussion of tennis history and great players of the 70’s and 80’s as well as equipment and attire - Paul made a real connection with me and had me on court every week for many years. He was also a phenomenal junior development coach and enthusiast that found a way to engage with my children and the children in the programs. The salt of the earth and a wonderful guy. My deepest sympathy to his family and many many friends in the tennis community.
