Andrew: I have just now learned of Paris' death, and I hasten to add my condolences. I met Paris at the Bergamo Center in Dayton, OH, in 1974. I later visited him in Milwaukee. In a very special way. Paris was an important part of my maturing life. Because I always held him in special memory, I am truly saddened to know of his death. For me, he was and will remain a "very special man."

Paris was my Bet Tzedek supervisor 2002-2004. I was thinking about him recently, looked him up and learned of his passing. He was an amazing man, a gracious teacher, an overall wonderful human being.

Love and light to his husband and family. Thank you for sharing Paris with us in the Cardozo community.

Blessings,

Angela M. Angel, Esq.

Just saw that Professor Baldacci died. I was 3L in the crim clinic 1991-92 when Paris had just started. He never stood on ceremony and was always just Paris to me. He had a sharply honed intelligence without the stinging sharp tongue that often accompanies such an intellect. His generosity and willingness to answer questions from anyone even students who were not under his supervision was a hallmark of his kindness. Paris was both a gentleman and a gentle man. He will be greatly missed.
