C. John W. Paul 1934-2020
We have lost a special member of our support group; in fact, he founded our particular group based in Canandaigua. Thus, we have so much to thank him for.
In 2008, the only support groups were scheduled in Rochester, a difficult evening trip for people already dealing with an unexpected diagnosis of Parkinson Disease. For 20 years he dealt with the disease and helped to establish our support group in Canandaigua along with his wife, Pat Smith. We owe John a debt of gratitude for starting our group with 12 people now grown to over 100.
