Paul Graves will be remembered for his love of athletics, his dry wit and for the generous support he gave Belmont students and coaches. He will be sorely missed by all the Belmont School Staff who had the opportunity to know and work with him.

I will always look back fondly on the PE classes I had with Mr. Graves at the Butler school. He recognized potential in his students and pushed them to live up to his high expectations. When at BHS, Mr. Graves was a wonderful resource for advice and was always willing to share a story or joke (or 2). He will be missed. My condolences.

Dear, Judy, Suzanne, and members of the extended family, One of my first memories of working at the Winn Brook and Butler Schools as a new teacher was of Paul filling me in on the 'need-to-know' material. Before there were mentors for new teachers, there was Paul Graves. As 'specialists' working extra-comp positions, we ran into each other on weekends in the fall---he working with the football program; I, racing around with the marching band's flag squad. His dry humor

Dear, Judy, Suzanne, and members of the extended family, One of my first memories of working at the Winn Brook and Butler Schools as a new teacher was of Paul filling me in on the 'need-to-know' material.

As 'specialists' working extra-comp positions, we ran into each other on weekends in the fall---he working with the football program; I, racing around with the marching band's flag squad. His dry humor made some of those long-haul Saturday afternoons quite entertaining. I always think of him with great affection and respect. He loved you, "his girls", very much. My thoughts and prayers are with you and yours at this time.

Dear Judy & Suzanne, Please accept my deepest sympathy at the passing of your Dad. Not only was he my teacher at Winn Brook and co-worker at the High School he was first and foremost a good friend. I will miss him very much. I will miss rushing home from the Thanksgiving Day FB game to e-mail him the score and I will certainly miss all the jokes he sent me.

Paul Graves was my gym teacher at the Daniel Butler School. Mr.Graves was a warm and caring man. I will keep him deep in my heart.

Dear Judith and Suzanne, My thoughts and prayers are with you at this most difficult and sad time.Your father was the first Business Mgr. of Athletics for the Belmont Public Schools,working with me for 24 years,and was a true professional in every sense of the word.His work with coaches,officals,equipment and medical personnel,teachers and students went well beyond the call of duty.The folks that knew him and kept in touch will miss his counsel and thoughtful advice.

2/14/11 Dear Ones, I taught Elementary Phy Ed with Paul for close to 20 years. We worked well together and he was great with the kids. I shall miss him . Love, Andrea Lambertson

To the Graves Family My prayers and condolences on Paul's passing. I was one of his students at the Winn Brook School in Belmont and through the High School years with AD Bill Miller. Paul was a good guy and he keep me in line when I messed up. I am deeply sorry for your loss and will remember Paul in my prayers and thoughts. We (in Belmont) were lucky to have some great teachers like Paul. Respectfully, Bernie Fallon Belmont Mass.
