According to the website below Alice Ghostley claims Paul had cancer but kept it a secret and was not drinking or using drugs when he died, how much of this is true I am not sure? Was it cancer, or was it HIV/AIDS as someone else above wrote? Paul Baressi wrote this:
Paul Barresi September 15, 2018 at 8:44 pm Paul Lynde was a man with a heart of gold. He never held contempt for the feelings of others. You had to know him to understand the great human being he truly was. Never judge a book by its cover. It’s too easy to destruct than build. -Paul Barresi
