HEINRICH (HENRY) PAULS It is with sadness that we announce the unexpected passing of our beloved husband, father, Opa and UrOpa, Henry Pauls, on Tuesday, January 15, 2013.

He is also survived by two brothers, one sister and their families. He was predeceased by his parents, sister and sister-in-law. Henry was born on August 10, 1926 to Heinrich and Luise Pauls in Kronstal, Ukraine. Henry immigrated to Paraguay in 1947 and it is here where he met the love of his life Justa Friesen and they were married in July 1949. Together they immigrated to Canada in 1953. Here Henry became a successful businessman, owning and operating Pauls North Kildonan Grocery as well as being involved in the construction industry and land development. He was a faithful member of the North Kildonan Mennonite Brethren Church where he served on various committees. Henry's children and grandchildren were his pride and joy and top priority. We will all miss and cherish his memory.

  • I will dearly miss my visits with Henry. I would visit him at least once or twice a week at his office on Henderson Hwy. We loved to talk about our construction days, kids, and grandkids. He was a dear friend who will be sadly missed. Rest in peace my friend. - Posted by: Frank and Hildegard Pauls (Friends) on: Jan 23, 2013

  • In 1979, Mr. Pauls and family was one of many who helped sponsor our family from a refugee camp in Hong Kong. Mr. Pauls was a great man with a beautiful heart and with God’s grace took a colossal risk in sponsoring and welcoming us strangers to his blessed world. We hope you are proud of who we’ve all become. We are so appreciative and we’ve never and for generations after us will never forget just how lucky we are to have had a Mr. Pauls in our lives. Thank you for everything and may you be blessed upon your deliverance to Him. You will be missed. - Posted by: Laura Lao () on: Jan 21, 2013

  • My deepest condolences to Mrs. Pauls and family. Mr. Pauls and his family sponsered my family from Vietnam to Winnipeg in 1979. A sincere act of kindness that will never be forgotten. - Posted by: Quoc Lao (Family-friend) on: Jan 19, 2013

  • Henry was a North Kildonan icon and certainly helped shape North Kildonan into what it is today. Many people came to Canada from Paraguay in the 1950's and Henry's store became a meeting place for many. Henry was going to enjoy successes in his life....that is just who he was. My condolences to the family. - Posted by: John Wiebe () on: Jan 19, 2013

  • My deepest sympathy to Mrs Pauls and the Pauls family. My Mom (Helen Doughie)worked for Mr Pauls for many years both in the grocery store and in his land development company and they became great friends. Myself, my sister (Debbie Walstra), and both my parents held Mr Pauls in the highest regard. He was a very kind gentleman and will be greatly missed. - Posted by: Diane Church (Doughie) formerly of Essar Ave Wpg (Friend) on: Jan 19, 2013
