Paul William "Dub" Bankes

Dub has been a friend since middle school. Our "Class Clown" always had a joke or a funny story ready to make you smile. We had fun. I remember playing APBA on the porch, water skiing on the Susquehanna, concerts, midnight swimming for golf balls, house parties at Theta Chi, discovering Chicago Transit Authority, Toga Party at Phi Sig, golfing in a snow storm, and several fun weddings receptions.

I knew my best man Dub since kindergarten. We spent many a good time together over the years. Rest in Piece my friend.

I knew Dub for 43 years. We shared our love of golf with many golf trips all over the United States and England and Scotland. I will miss his jokes, laughter, and friendship.

Enjoyed the Dubster's company in our Tuesday Golf Group over the years. A great sense of humor. When he hit a good shot, he would say "Well, that's one in a row" He'll be missed greatly.

I never met "Dub's" such that I could even count myself as one of his many acquaintances. Yet having stumbled upon this beautiful summary of his full life, I hope the way he lived it inspires others to do the same. I trust Dub's final hope is a testament to who he was - always thinking of others. I hope y'all honor him by living each day as your best.
