Passed away at St. Peter’s Hospital on Jan. 17, 2024 in his 93rd year. A generous and kind man with a gentle sense of humour, he will be greatly missed by family and friends.

Husband of Ann for 69 years, father of Cynthia (Jeff) and Sandra (Steven). One of 11 siblings: Mary, Sam, Hannah, Grace, Andy, Ruth, Tim and predeceased by John, Joy, and Frank, he will also be missed by the Kawamura family and his many nieces and nephews.

Paul and his family were interned at Slocan and Popoff during WW II. He worked hard all his life, operated his own automotive-parts business and realized his dream to build a cottage at Tobermory where he spent many happy summers.
