I love this photo of Paul with our boys. The pure joy on their faces is priceless and Paul was responsible for making it such a wonderful experience. He was such a fantastic coach and mentor for the boys. It didn't matter if they were the best player on the team or the last one off the bench, he taught them the importance of teamwork, hard work and made everyone feel like they were part of the team and had something to contribute. And most importantly, he made it fun! I am so grateful that Paul was Thomas's coach for all those years and made it such a positive experience for him. The smiles of the kids are a reminder of the mark that Paul left on the kids he coached, the community he lived in and city that he served. Stacy, Petey, Leo and Kate--know that we love you and are here for you, the Edgebrook community is here for you.
