Paul Wallace was an exceptional man in everything he did. He shined, though, in the Scottish Rite Choir. When he and I learned we both attended Hoke Smith Junior High in the Grant Park area, we were amazed, especially since he was born 12 years before my 1932 entrance in the world. Paul was courteous and friendly to my son, Jon, also in Scottish Rite and to my late wife, Virginia, who played the organ at SR meetings.

He will be missed.
