Paul Durbin

Leon ‘Paul’ Durbin, 82, of Naples, FL and Monument, CO., died May 8.

     Paul was long time resident of Monument, Colo., playing on a handful of Scrap Iron senior softball teams since 2011, before retiring in Naples, Fla., last year.

     He devoted his time to family, community service and sports. He volunteered “for Readers Literacy programs, Tri- Lakes Cares, The Soup Kitchen, and… was an active member of the Knights of Columbus,” according to his online obituary.

     “He was an avid sports fan; especially the Red Sox,” as he grew up near Boston, “and lived a dream playing at Fenway Park during Fantasy Camp.”

     Paul has played with the Scrap Iron Red 70s, Scrap Iron Force 70s, and Scrap Iron Grey Berets Base Force 80s.
