Paul Curtin

11 april 1954 - 4 december 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

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
