Not sure what to say?

I was a young kid from the Bronx in the early 80's when I was able to go to Camp Thoreau in upstate New York when Paul and Sheila ran the camp. Still remember the songs we all sang and him leading the way with his guitar and strong voice. Sleep well sir

Single Memorial Tree

I am devastated. we were good friends in Junior HIgh School and last year we reconnected via phone. In prepping a reunion for next week with Paul and another good friend I learned of Paul's passing. My heart and prayers go out to his family with whom i would love to connect.

So I just thought of Mr. Milkman (as I have over the years). He was my absolute favorite teacher when I attended Midwood High School. I thought of him a moment ago and googled him only to learn of his passing. He has forever shaped my love for books with his theatrical style of teaching. I despised Shakespeare before he taught my class. He fanned the flames of my love for reading and writing and it´s because he loved what he did and it was in everything he brought to our class.

I went to camp Thoreau I´m I wish I reached out in 2020 when I thought of him as I was in BJs turns out I was working around the corner from where he resided in park slope. I´m so Love You Paul at tooshy rock

The guilt I am feeling because I thought of Paul during the pandemic. I was in BJs. I googled him and discovered that I worked around the corner at the hospital at the beginning of the pandemic. I attended Camp Thoreau. He was so awesome. I failed to reach out in 2020-2021. Now I google again and he has gone on. I’m so

Condolences to his family

I send sincere condolences to family and friends. I remember Paul from our SDS days. So sorry to hear of his passing

Paul was a colleague and friend at Midwood High School. We worked in different departments, but became acquainted in the Teacher's Lounge. While we didn't always agree politically, our conversations on literature, film, music and art were always enjoyable and rewarding. I came to respect Paul for his love of learning and care for his fellow human beings. His great sense of humour and our mutual love of the Marx Brothers are memories I will always cherish. May his memory be eternal!
