I first met Paul in the summer of 2004 during the Prospect Park Tennis Camp. Over the course of the next 16 years, I got to know Paul very well. What stands out to me is how generous he was with his time. He always made time to catch up with me, sometimes maybe even too much time. After moving out of NYC in 2019, I would often stop by his office to say hello whenever I was playing at the tennis center. Five minute conversations would often turn into an hour, but it never mattered to me, because Paul was a good conversationalist, and we never ran out of things to talk about. Whether it was giving me serving advice, which I will probably always need, penciling me in for a quick impromptu hitting session, or just shooting the breeze, Paul was a pleasure to be around. I know how much he loved the junior program. He has had such a positive impact on me and thousands of juniors who have played at the tennis center over the years. He was genuine, warm, nice, always upbeat, positive and fun to be around. I know I will miss him deeply. - David
