Paul and Joan moved next door to my family on East Market St. when I was about 10 years old. Paul played pitch and catch with me, tossed the football, and we shot baskets down at Longfellow school. I would run into him over the years, and he always remembered me. He was a good guy. I'm so sorry for the family's loss.
