Paul Dewar


Just a brief comment today about Paul Dewar. He was a rare politician. He stood firmly for what he believed. But he could also rise above the fray. We used to call such people statesmen -- or stateswomen.

Politics was in his blood. He inherited the gene from his mother. But he made his own way and met what awaits us all with gentleness, dignity and grace.

May he rest in peace.

I never met Paul but I knew his mother, Marion, fairly well and, in her son, was the adage about the apple never falling far from the tree. I read what I could about Paul Dewar over the years and thought he was the very person the New Dems needed to lead their party. Another one gone much too soon.

I agree, Mound. Gone too soon.

He certainly contributed to this country, with vigor, smarts, ethics and a morality not seen in many politicians.

Absolutely true, e.a.f. He will be missed.
