I was deeply saddened to learn of Paul Byard's death today. In his many roles -- architect, professor, writer, leader of the Architectural League, etc. -- he contributed to his profession and city. I saw him only several weeks ago and he was as spry and elegant as ever. I had no idea he was ill, which leaves me even more stunned by his death.
New York has lost a true son.

Professor Byard is fondly remembered as our own, more urbane version of the Paper Chase's Charles Kingfield. To this day, I remember the unique permutation of delight and sheer terror that would come over most of us when asked to answer a question in his classes. He will be missed.

I called him the "charmer" or the "charming Professor". Nothing could come between him and his passion for architecture; it's conservation - was his goal in life!
