My deepest condolences to Paul's family for their lose. Paul was once my brother in law but more like a big brother to me. I thought of him often especially every August 15 as we shared the same birthday and spent some of those birthday's celebrating together. He was one of a kind a gently sole and I will miss him dearly. ~ Shirley Collins

Dear Karen and family, I was deeply saddened to hear about Paul. Even though our paths have not crossed in many years I recall our triathlon and Lindsay Park days with great fondness. I'm so sorry we were unable to attend his Service today-we are currently out of the country traveling. Wishing you strength and much love in the days ahead.

Karen, thank you for letting us know of Paul's passing over to be with the Lord. He was a wonderful friend and we will always have our memories of the fun times in our 5th wheels. In fact, that was how we met, you and I commented on our "triple A personality" men as they struggled to get into a trailer lot only to find out it had no power. Our sympathy and thoughts are with you and the family as you travel this new path on life. Hugs Moira and Don ~ Don and Moira Malman
Dear Karen and family, I was so sorry, shocked and sad when I found out about Paul, just a few days ago. We have not seen each other for a long time and I was trying to get in touch so that you could join us for my mother's 100th birthday. I have many memories of Paul as we grew up together. Although he was my cousin, he felt more like a big brother to me. I will miss him. As so many have said above, he was a lovely, kind man. X Barbara, Robin and family ~ Barbara Rison
