Paul Curtin was my intro to the tennis center, which has become such a central part of my life. When we moved to Brooklyn I was pregnant with my son, Lester, and after he was born, as soon as my doctor gave me the ok, I signed up for lessons with Paul Curtin. The many hours I spent on the court with him were wonderful. Getting to play with him during art league was always a treat. He felt like an old friend. He was so good to Lester too. Always asking about him, (they shared a birthday) and making sure he got into the right group. I told Lester the sad news and Lester said, “He was the lefty. He was nice.” Yes he was.

Paul Curtin

April 11, 1954 - December 4, 2020

The administrator of this page is Lucy Gardner

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
