Paul lived in Guelph his whole life attending John Calvin Christian School and Woodland Christian High School.

He was an avid reader of the magazine “the Economist” and was a regular at the gym for many years. He loved spending time with his nieces and nephews, taking them to a movie or lunch or dinner.

He was a good son especially visiting his mom in the nursing home every week and was a comfort to his dad living in the same house for the last five years or so. He worked as a security guard for many years, and had good connections with his co-workers. He also regularly visited with his high school friend Ken and his family. He will be missed by all.
