... A Kind and Gentle Man ... Friend, Classmate, and President of the June, 1961, Graduating Class of Patterson High School,  passed away on August 28th of heart failure - at his Coldspring Newtown home.

Paul and I lived a block apart when we were children in Highlandtown.  We played in Patterson Park, attended Saint Elizabeth's School.  At Patterson we belonged to many of the same organizations and clubs,  including the Key Club, Art Service Club, United Nations Club, Junior Achievement, Tennis, etc.  After high school we went to the same college where we both would receive our Master of Fine Arts Degree ... and then began our teaching careers in Baltimore County and Baltimore City.

A MEMORIAL SERVICE will be held at 2pm,  September 29th,  at the Community Cottage of Coldspring Newtown,  4800 Tamarind Road,  Baltimore.

My sincere sympathies are extended to Bernadette,  Paul's brother Michael,  nephew and nieces - and all those who knew and loved Paul.

+   Rest eternal grant unto him,  O Lord.  And let perpetual light shine upon him.  May he rest in peace.  Amen.
