    I met him as a small girl, my father met him when Paul rode the Conch Tour Train in Key West, Florida. Paul and my dad became friends and every time Paul would come to town, he’d invite us four kids to go to the mini golf with him. He was truly our uncle Paul, God rest his soul!! Loved him, miss him dearly! 😢

    What was classic and iconic about Mr Lynde was how he had a hilarious snappy answer to the question, perfectly timed for maximum laughs, but then would retreat into pensive thought to get the answer correct for the contestant. He was more often than not correct, but missed enough times that you could never say with certainty he knew the questions ahead of time. He was a comic genius. If you ever watch the old Match games, Richard Dawson would frequently give a very good impression of Lynde. Often imitated, but never duplicated.

    It took the wind out of his sails for a few rounds when Connie Stevens failed to remember that he was in Bye, Bye Birdie. He answered the next few questions seriously, without trying to be funny. He bounced back with a vengeance, though. Knowing now about his insecurities and fears of being forgotten and a nobody, it must have crushed his soul a little for his biggest movie role to be forgotten by one of his co-stars on the same panel. He was a true trailblazer. If only he knew how influential he truly was.

    A few of the genuine geniuses in comedy are ever appreciated fully and sadly, so often after their time. Fortunately there are those who are recognised in their prime, and Paul Lynde is definitely one of these. Famous for his "zingers" on the "Hollywood Squares" tv game show, he could be quick, sharp and extremely funny: for example, when asked in what state was Abraham Lincoln born, he responded with the same all of us are born in---naked and screaming!
    This was so typical of his focused responses and at the same time was very learned, especially in ancient history. He was celebrated and appreciated and now sorely missed.
