Kind and patient are the two words that best describe Paul. I would see him spending long hours at the tennis center, and I am sure it was to make sure every child was well taken care of. Paul was always ready to share a tennis story or two and I looked forward to seeing him at the center every Tuesday evening after my seasonal court was done. He even stepped in to play when we needed a last minute sub because he always wanted to help and was so generous with his time. His passing feels surreal because just the other day, he was in his office and I waved to say hello. We only exchanged a few words with our masks on, but now I wish we had spent more time together to catch up. My family and all of the children from the Knickerbocker Tennis Foundation will miss him.
