Paul Curtin

April 11, 1954 - December 4, 2020

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

Paul had such deep kindness, empathy and wisdom both on and off the tennis court. He had a knack for knowing what a person needed to hear and put it in just the right way. When he asked you how you were, you knew he really cared. He was a person who was easy to talk to and had such great insights. I will continue to think of Paul regularly because when I first started group lessons at PPTC, he told me the simple but powerful thing that has helped my game the most: breathe in while the ball is coming towards you and breathe out when you hit. Thank you Paul, I feel so lucky to have known you.
