My sons and I had the wonderful pleasure of living across the street from Paul and Cathy in Orchard Park. You couldn't ask for a kinder neighbor than the Beltz's. When I think of those days I picture Paul walking down his driveway early in the morning with his dog Lexi on his way to get his newspaper and we'd stand and talk about anything and everything. He was a sweet and gentle man who adored his family and enjoyed his life to the fullest.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the family.

Always - Joal Miller and Trevor & Brandon Devine

My deepest condolences to the whole Beltz Family.
I feel truly honored, blessed and privileged to have known and worked for such a wonderful man as Mr. Beltz. He was truly a GENTLEMAN! When he would come in the office, he would always say “Good Morning” with a friendly smile on his face. My fondest memories are when we would be working in his office and he would tell me stories about his family, who he was VERY proud of, and of his time in the service. Mr. Beltz, you are one of a kind and will be very missed!

September 22, 2011

May God bless the Beltz family.
I am very sorry for your loss. It was an honor to work in N.Y.S. Supreme Court as a Court Officer having the pleasure to experience the trial techniques of Mr. Paul William Beltz. Mr. Beltz was a kind and gentle man with a caring heart who believed in helping others. I am sure that he will be dearly missed by family, friends, attorneys, and court staff. He was a special one of a kind Attorney at Law.
My thoughts and Prayers are with you !

My first job in Buffalo was with PWB.
I can say I have never met anyone like Mr. Beltz - I feel like I lost my own family member. His attitude and personality were indescribable but simply put he was wonderful, warm and always there to say how can we help this person with their situation. Mr. Beltz imparted on all of us an extreme sense of pride in our work and to be working at his firm. He has a wonderful family who will carry on his work.
