I'm sorry to hear about Paul's passing, and happy to have renewed our friendship at the reunion. He was one of the crew of friends I've referred to as the usual suspects elsewhere on this site. We pulled a lot of shit together.
i met Paul in sixth grade when we got into a fight on the playground. It couldn't have been too serious because we became pals right away after that. I remember hiding in his attic on Washington AV and bombing cars with snowballs. Drivers would pull over to give us hell, looked in every direction but up, and we only got busted when they'd hear us laughing our patooties off from the open window. We also had some wicked poker games at his place.
Paul was tough and competitive. We had some epic tennis matches over the years. We were evenly matched and neither of us would give up a point. I remember after one multi hour standoff on a scorching summer day, I went home, threw up and was in bed for the next two days...heat stroke! I think I won at least, though I wish Paul were here to refresh my memory.
in Madison we took up platform tennis, too. We entered the "first annual" city tournament, which was cancelled when only one other guy signed up. We always figured we were two of the top three players in town after that.
Paul served his country valiantly in Vietnam, and was a fine teacher for nearly thirty years. He raised a good family and was a proud grandfather. He was a good friend to many and we'll miss him.
