DR. PAUL ROBERT ZYWINA We announce with profound sadness, that on June 10, 2016, Dr. Paul Zywina died suddenly at his home. Mourning his passing are his wife Lucille (nee Martel); his brother Peter; his sons, Michael, Cameron (Rafaela) and Geoffrey (Shannon); his grandchildren, Andrew, Signe, Kate and Gabriel; Cristina; his brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law; his nieces and nephews and a large group of extended family and friends. Paul was born in Windsor and raised in Hamilton, Ontario. He graduated from Cathedral High School as Valedictorian, earned his Bachelor of Science at McMaster University, and graduated with his M.D. from Queen's University. After moving to Winnipeg, he completed further training in Psychiatry at the University of Manitoba. Specializing in child and adolescent psychiatry, Paul was instrumental in helping to establish the Manitoba Adolescent Treatment Centre (MATC); at the same time his private practice flourished. He was well respected by his colleagues and the community for his tireless work addressing mental health needs in Manitoba. His greatest accomplishment was simply being the man he was every single day of his life: calm, kind, generous, patient, intelligent, thoughtful, humorous, insightful, humble and wise. He enjoyed his toys, big and small, loved gardening, relished swimming in his pool, and liked cheering for the Yankees and Tiger-Cats. With Lucille, he enjoyed travelling to different countries and going to the opera and musicals. They generously supported Rossbrook House, St. Paul's College and St. Ignatius Parish. Paul's most recent passions were watching his grandsons play football and learn to swim. A funeral service will be held at St. Ignatius Roman Catholic Church at 255 Stafford Street on Tuesday, June 21 at 1:00 p.m. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to St. Boniface Hospital or the charity of your choice.

When I lost my way in my early 20s after a traumatic time, and I was truly broken, Dr. Zywina put me back together again in such a strong way I knew I would never break again. I was able to go after my own new dreams with confidence. His compassion and wisdom and patience were an inspiration to me. I have often thought of him and silently thanked him in my career as a relationship counsellor and as advice columnist Miss Lonelyhearts for the Winnipeg Sun and Winnipeg Free Press. He always spoke fondly of his family and he was for me a fine example of an intelligent, good and kind man. I can only imagine how greatly his family will miss him. -- With deepest sympathy, Maureen Scurfield - Posted by: Maureen Scurfield () on: Jun 21, 2016

Paul's Dad "Frank" and my Dad "Lloyd" (RIP 1970) were brothers. Their parents died early in life and the family lost contact over the years. I only met Paul once at my sister Lorraine's wedding and Michael was the ring bearer. To Lucille and their children Michael, Cameron and Geoffrey and their families I sent my sympathies. I know the hurt of loosing family. The memories of your husband and Dad and grandfather will remain forever in your hearts. Sending love to you all Betty Ann (nee Zywina) & Ron Richard Kelowna, BC - Posted by: Betty Ann Richard (Cousin) on: Jun 21, 2016

I've known Paul for more than half a century, as we were classmates in Meds '62 at Queen's University. I always liked him. Even as a student, he was a very nice man who exuded quiet competence. Our contact since graduation was only sporadic, specifically at class reunions every few years, but Paul always maintained his quiet and pleasant demeanour. I never heard him be rude or speak ill of others -- a reflection of his decency as a human being. His passing is a loss not only to his family and his patients, but to those of us in Meds'62 who survive him. We will not forget his memory. - Posted by: Jerry Simon (Classmate) on: Jun 18, 2016
