So sorry to be so late in honoring Paxton. What a wonderful man- what a wonderful actor. The many times seeing him on stage - farce to R3 - and I got to be on stage with once, in 2003 in our HARLEQUIN STUDIES at the Signature. He had the greatest stories -if you could catch him on his way to his bus at Port Authority - and was the most gracious colleague.
I honor his memory. Bill Irwin

Paxton became part of my family when his son, Charles, married my grand daughter. I did not get to know him for any length of time, but I found him to be a great gentleman during the time I was with him and the family. I am so sorry he had such a horrible fall that took his life. May he rest in peace. My love and prayers go out to his family. God Bless you all
