    Dear Ginger and family, We were so sad to hear about Paul. What a great guy he was! He had such a positive attitude and joy for life. He was never afraid to tackle something new and he always seemed to be able to figure out how to do anything. He taught us so much...including the dreaded skill of wallpapering! We know that his loss will leave a huge hole in your hearts. Thank goodness for the memories of so many wonderful years. We send our love. Amy and Paul Silverman

    I called him "Mr 19". In darts he was incredibly accurate in hitting that number. It's on the lower left side of the board. He said it was perfect for his height. A great partner in golf. we shared New Jersey stories.
