I just read about Paul's passing in the most recent issue of the William & Mary alumni magazine. Paul was very kind to me when I was a scared, homesick college freshman. We had a class together, and even though I don't recall what I learned in that class, I remember how nice he was to me, and how he encouraged me. I am sure he will be missed!

Witky was a good mentor, he taught me a lot about track and field and helped me with shot put and I will always remember him for taking the time. He congratulated my son on breaking his record and I will never forget that. He was a class act.
