Mrs. Silvergleid
I really enjoyed playing golf with Paul over the last 10 years. I was part of the "beaters" who played Tuesday and Thursday mornings and when I was paired to play with Paul I knew I was going to have a great day at Wethersfield, no matter how I played. An extremely funny and engaging man, we were very impressed with his game and the energy he showed as the oldest "beater" in the group. I'll always remember one day, as his partner, I made a good putt that gave us winnings of $5 on the last hole and Paul said "is it ok to want to kiss another man?"
I remember Paul introducing my wife and I to you when we met at the Club and I could see the sparkle in Paul's eyes when he very proudly introduced you. It made quite an impression on us and I can only hope I show the same love and honor to Martha when introducing her. That was really special.
We are very sorry for your loss, a loss I share with you as I think about not being able to play with Paul again. Due to recent surgery I won't be able to attend the services and extend our sympathy. Wish I could.
By the way, I never did get that kiss for the $5 I made him.
With love, Steve Kirsche
