I remember you telling me you wish you could have been taller so you could have played basketball! Well let me tell you something Paul, you were the tallest man on earth… You had the right stuff. Integrity – Honesty – Kindness – Respect – Accountability and the will to get the job done.
Paul would always remind me of the value of his family over all other things we could possibly place on the other side of the scale…He is one of the few people in life that you will not only miss, but fondly remember as the family man, business associate and cherished good friend.
Honest, hardworking and open-minded, he had an upbeat can-do attitude. His perpetual smile and intellectual acuity will be missed by us all.
Despite his small stature, the impact Paul St. Martin had on those around him was immense. He was a loving husband, father, brother, cousin, and friend to all, finding the greatest joy in helping those in need. Devoted to success, he was President of The Allan Hackel Organization, which he joined in 1985. He received a Masters from Northeastern University in Massachusetts after graduating from Harvard College and attending Boston Latin High School. A member of a men's over-40 basketball team until his death, Paul was a sports fanatic who loved Boston sports. Paul's greatest accomplishment was the family he left behind, his loving wife and three children who today carry on his legacy.
An avid runner, Paul ran through the streets of Newton Center in Massachusetts every morning before starting his workday. His life came to a sudden and tragic end the morning of March 6, 2002 after suffering a heart attack on his run.
We hope Paul's life will remind all that life is precious and the best one can do is to bring joy and inspiration to those around them.
