Theodore "T.R." Paulding Jr.

Happy heavenly birthday TR. I can see you sitting at a grand piano playing and singing your favorite songs. Hope you are resting in eternal peace.

None better than T. R. A true Notre Dame man, I was a classmate and fellow resident of Morrissey Manor. Don't know aore caring person. RIP a to a wonderful person.

I was so sorry to hear about TR´s passing. I worked with him in GA12 when I was a young public defender and he was in private practice. He was an amazing lawyer. Thoughtful, kind, smart, and compassionate. He taught me about the type of lawyer that I wanted to be. He had endless patience and we would often chat about our cases and strategies for obtaining desired outcomes. He was an absolute light and so quick to smile even when his cases were challenging or the state´s attorneys were...

We are so very sorry to hear of TR´s passing. Such a genuinely kind, funny, empathetic man that we were lucky enough to share many fun times with in the "hood". TR and Michele were truly a loving couple who always smiled/glowed even in times of challenge. Never complaining always finding the brighter side. There is no more pain or suffering for TR and now reunited with his love, Michele and all that have gone before him. I wish you all comfort in the memories and love you hold dearly in...

I will always treasure the time we spent together coaching baseball with our kids! To spend the time with our kids and their teammates and you was very special! I always considered you a good friend and I am definitely a better person having known you and your family!

To the Paulding family. I am so sorry to read of T.R.´s passing. The obituary was spot on. I recall the Jerry Lewis impression, playing a lot of hoop, but I did not know he went to ND. Ha ha. The all inclusive rec program that T.R. built brought so many kids together, life long friendships were made and memories created. Seriously, we have chatted about how it was more than a rec program. Summertime would not have been the same without T.R. Always a smile and making everyone feel so...

TR will be greatly missed. I only saw him again at our more recent Class of '73 gatherings, and was sorry to hear about his health issues. I hope his family feels some relief at how many people he reached over his lifetime. God bless you all and all of his closest friends.

T.R. Was a kind and gentle soul. I grew up spending summers at OLS where T.R. organized and lead the rec. program with joy and enthusiasm!! Always with a smile and a kind word to all. May he rest in peace.

To know TR or as I affectionately called him Uncle T - was to love him. Not only was he my boss but him Michele and kids became family. Sitting outside talking for hours at Sound View. Hugs at the St Patrick´s Day parades. There was nothing more in this life he loved than his family. His love of the law was something I will never forget. He was truly a gentleman and a scholar. To TR´s family, Daniele, Nichole, Adrian and Aaron, I´m so sorry for your loss. Please know you are all in my...
