Dear Family Members of Paul Livingston,
Years ago soon after we started forming the Jones Golf Group at Willows, I had the very good fortune to meet Paul. From the very outset, it was readily apparent that Paul was a very special person of substance not only with full knowledge of the game of golf but more importantly with regard to life itself. His work on behalf of junior golfers was quickly noticed as well as his contributions to the Jones Group including organizing our annual Christmas dinners. While he will be greatly missed, his footprint will remain. It has been a distinct pleasure to have had Paul as a close friend.
In deepest sympathy, Win Jones
