Our sincere condolences to Florence and Paul's family. I met Paul at Japanese language classes many years ago. He was always a kind, caring and friendly gentleman. We will miss him.

I had the pleasure of working with Paul at Standard Aero for many years. He was always a gentleman - kind, caring and the consummate gentleman. I have many fond memories of Paul. Karen and I send our deepest condolences to the family. May he rest in peace.

I remember Paul as the consummate volunteer at the Japanese Cultural Centre. No matter the ask, Paul stepped up to do whatever was needed, with enthusiasm, kindness and a sense of humour. Paul was a gentle and caring man, who always thought of others. I will miss him dearly. My sincere condolences to Florence and Paul's family. May he live in your hearts forever.

Paul was my manager at Standard Aero in the 1980s. He was a fine gentleman and a natural manager. He never gave a direct order but still got things done.

 

What a loss...

I met Paul years ago while working at The Reh-fit Centre (I think it was in the 80's or early 90's). He always stopped by to say hello and ask how my family was doing. I can still see him running around the track or sitting in the lounge chatting with other members and Florence. My heartfelt condolences to all of the family. He was such a nice and gentle man!
