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 always put others ahead of himself. I believe teaching tennis was his way of helping people and in the process, he transcended the sport itself. He used tennis as a way of sending a human message of care, empathy and joy, and Paul made others feel acknowledged and seen. Over the many years I worked by his side, I saw first-hand what I believe was Paul's golden rule and it was a great lesson to me: always show others respect, care for those around you and spread love and joy when you can. He did that through tennis and I am honored to have been a part of his world; I will try my best to live by Paul's golden rule. RIP great mentor.
