My Great Uncle Paul was truly a wonderful man! I will miss him dearly. While I only had the opportunity to generally visit with him once a year on family vacations (I live in Toronto), I will treasure those moments forever. I was so grateful to have shared a meal with Uncle Paul just last Thanksgiving on the farm and have a chance to speak with him and hear some old stories about our family. My heartfelt condolences go out to my extended family. With love and sorrow, Alex Slota. - Posted by: Alex Slota (Nephew) on: Sep 19, 2012

As a volunteer at Holy Family, I got to know Paul well. He LOVED to play Bingo. Always a funny comment coming from him. Like "Little house without a chimney or B4 and after". He will be greatly missed. - Posted by: Debra Winterburn (Holy Family Recreation Volunteer ) on: Sep 17, 2012
