Paul Whitty
It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of our esteemed colleague and friend, Paul Whitty. Paul's contributions to the Kentucky Branch of the English-Speaking Union were immeasurable and his presence will be profoundly missed. In recognition of his remarkable lifetime of service, Paul Whitty was honored with the Kentucky Branch Lifetime Achievement Award at the National Convention this past Friday evening. This accolade was a testament to his outstanding contributions to our cause, and it is a tribute that will forever stand as a reminder of his lasting impact.
Paul's legacy will continue to resonate within our organization, and we are grateful for the time we had with him. We extend our deepest condolences to his family and loved ones during this difficult time. The obituary for Paul Whitty can be found here:
