Condolences to his family/friends for their loss!
I found out this week of his passing, and we lost touch in the 8th grade when he moved to Florida.
I met Paul in the 5th grade in Ms. Lane's class. I recently moved to Cincinnati from New York the when Paul and I connected. He was a little rough around the edges, which was similar to me at the time coming from New York. We probably made Ms. Lane question her career choice as a teacher.
Also, we played football together for 4 years 5th-grade-thru 8th grade until he moved to Florida. In the 7th grade one play will always stick out to me, Paul grabbed the opposing QB, I broke free and I nailed the QB. We got back to the huddle; Paul had a smile on his face/giggling asking me if that was me? Yeah man, it was me man. Paul was a quality youth football player.
Rest easy Paul!
