Sherry I never knew Paul although we went to school together. I’m so sorry for your loss and knew he wasn’t well. Prayers for you and your family during this difficult time.
Paul was an extremely caring and kind man. I know that no matter where you are, he will always be watching over you.
Dearest Sherry, Tracie, Karen an Joshua
We just wanted to take a moment to offer our sincere
condolences on the passing of our dear friend, Paul Horwitz, who I knew for over 70 years.
Below are our views of Paul :
1) The Paul Horwitz I knew had great moral strength. He was never afraid to speak out against the status quo and conventional wisdom..
2) The Paul Horwitz I knew had amazing beliefs. He always knew his subject matter – – and could always defend it..
3) The Paul Horwitz I knew had conviction. He always felt strong about his ideas, no matter what anyone else thought.
4) No one had more compromising integrity than our dear friend, Paul . He always thought with discipline and honesty.
5) He could sort through flattery, through politics and could always see things as they truly were.
Paul was a terrific friend and a wonderful husband and father and grandfather.
One has to remember, Paul and I grew up together. I knew the Horwitz Family well. In fact, Paul’s Mother (Rae) and I shared the same birthday–May 26.
Paul and I played tennis together and exercised at the gym for years. I mean, periodically we buy a couple pounds of dead shrimp and go fishing for croakers.
I hope the expressions of sympathy that you must be receiving from everyone provide some consolation to you. Hopefully, knowing how much he was loved will give you a measure of comfort.
We hope you and your family can find peace in the memories that you have of him.
May G’d bless you and your wonderful family………
Our thoughts and prayers are with ALL of you.
