Dr. Paul "Doc" Byron M.D.

I feel very fortunate to have known Dr. Byron and the incredible care he provided to the individuals in the OPWDD system. I will always remember his amazing laugh. May you all be surrounded with love and compassion. Kindly, Barbara Fryer, RN

Hi Sue, I´m so sorry to see the loss of your brother. My prayers are with you and your family.

Paul was one of a kind. He was a lifelong friend having met just before middle school at St. Teresa´s through our days at VI, CYO basketball, and Paul´s assignment and return from Korea. After his return from Korea, trying to keep up with his geographic locations and academic pursuits became a full time job. As our lives evolved, we were not as close as before, as the song says "You can´t make old friends." When we did catch up, it was like time disappeared and we picked up where we had left...

Doc was a very special Individual; I was fortunate to know him from his residency through his work at OPWDD. He had a warm personality and was a wealth of information. You could always count on him for guidance and patience any time of the day or night. He touched so many lives. Doc also had a great sense of humor. My heart goes out to his family and all those that he made a positive impact on, thinking of him will always bring a smile to many faces. Thinking of you Bill Byron. Thanks Paul...

We have been neighbors of the Bryon family for the past 25 years. Our house is the very next one up the road from the Bryon´s. Paul and Carol would graciously invite us to gatherings at their house.

Paul was one of only a few physicians in the region prepared to serve this challenging population and he did so...

I have known Paul for years and know he will be missed. I could always count on the response "normal" when I asked how he was doing.

Carol and family,Paul certainly touched the lives of so many .He always seemed to be handling several jobs at the same time . I worked with him in First Aid at the track. He certainly did have the ability to make me laugh and did tell the best stories ! His kindness was always at the forefront . He left this world a better place . It was my honor to know him . My deepest sympathy goes out to his family.

Dear Carol, Will and family- We're long time friends of Jan and Bill, and we were heartbroken to hear the news about Paul. We're sending much love to you at this incredibly sad time. Suzy Mitchell and Richard Zansitis
