I was fortunate to get to know Paul before I joined the Alliance, as each of my kids enjoyed many years of summer camp at the center. Paul was always so positive and encouraging, and remembered each kids interests and abilities in a unique and personal way. Years later he would remember their names and ask about them, and would always relay that my boys could have been great players if they weren't interested in squash and other lesser pursuits! His manner was always so genuine and warm, and you felt as though you were the only one in the center when you had his attention. More recently, when I'd send out All staff emails at the Alliance, Paul would often reply directly, sometimes days later, with a witty comment or interesting anecdote that made me smile or marvel at his knowledge and self deprecating manner. Paul will be sorely missed by all, but I feel so fortunate to have had the chance to know and work alongside him these many years.
