Paul Eckstein

Paul was my cousin and I used to babysit for him when his parents went out. I think about him all the time as I watch Godfather of Harlem a show he created and used our uncle Melvin's recollections of his time in that era and with Bumpy and others. This is not an anniversary I like to remember, but he was the best.

Puts a smile on my face every time I think of Paul. Thanks for the love and inspiration my dear friend. You continue to guide us with your heartfelt mission and vision.

I worked with Paul to conserve his family farm in Massachusetts. Walking the woods and fields with him, he talked about his life there with his family, how much his parents loved the land, and what he envisioned sharing with the world in this beautiful place. Sending love to his beloved family and all who knew and loved him.

So very shocked and saddened by Paul's passing. He was a happy,creative,kind human being . His presence while missed,will indeed remain.

Thank you Paul for giving us an example to look up to. You will forever continue to inspire me

After reconnecting with Paul on a project that we started on nearly 20 years ago it was great to see how he had travelled through those years, building a family and making a career doing what he loved. Sadly we never got to make our film but during the last 8 months or so we enjoyed imagining. I will miss our zoom calls Paul....God bless and God speed. Joe Coffey
