He is also survived by his brothers Raoul (Georgina), Denis, René (Marthe), and his sisters Agnes Rémillard and Dolores (Maurice) Blanchard.

As a young man, Dad joined the Canadian Armed Forces as a member of the Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry (PPCLI). After several years of duty, Dad left the military and worked for the Winnipeg School Division #1 until his retirement.

My sincere condolences to ma chère Tante Evelyn, Charles, Andre and Christiane and their families. Oncle Paul was so loved and enjoyed many vacation getaways with my mom and dad. I would love to see the vacation pictures when my parents would return to see Oncle Paul and the gang have a carefree and whimsical time. It allowed me to see how much fun friends and family can have....and that it is 100% to be silly. Carpe diem - Seize the day! I will miss you lots and will always hold you dear in my heart. - Posted by: Renée Monin (niece) on: Nov 26, 2014
