Name: Cruikshank's Halifax Funeral Home
Address: Halifax, NS

Paul and I were primary school (Sir Charles Tupper) and high school (QEH - Grade 12) classmates, as well as keen competitive sailors during our teenage years - his Flying Junior sailboat was # 251 and mine was # 264.  When my Mom died in 2002, Paul helped me sort out some minor legal issues.

Both when we were young and when we reconnected briefly as adults, I appreciated Paul as a capable, kind and sincere person whom I greatly respected.  Our world is poorer for his passing.


Dear Lorri, 
I only heard of Paul's passing just today and was shocked and saddened for you and your family.  My time away working in Asia has unfortunately kept me out of touch with current events so my deepest apologies for not writing a note of condolence to you sooner. I knew  Paul  from high school days and later as a designer for his law office and he always was such a great personality full of humour and intelligence.

I have just received the Winter 2016 Dal Alumni magazine and was saddened & shocked to read of Paul's death. We were fellow MBA students (1975) and in the same study team.  I knew and was delighted that he went on to get his law degree.  Although we did not maintain contact post graduation, I have such great memories of him (and his car!) during our MBA years.  Also saddened to read of the death of Yvon Lavalee in the same magazine - another of our team members.  
Great memories of Paul - such a kind, caring and warm person.

Dear Lorri, Sarah, Lisa and Ben

Paul was a dear and valued friend from the time I was a boy. We remained close as our families changed and grew. Paul was always there both as a friend and a lawyer. He will be missed by us all.

Lorri so sorry to hear of Paul's passing.  May you and your family hold tight to the wonderful members you made together as a family.

I am very sorry to hear this.  I worked with and for Paul at Goldberg Thompson in the 1990s.  He taught me a lot about law and business. I remember him as a warm and friendly man and a good lawyer.

Dear Goldberg Family.
Please accept my deepest condolences at the passing of Paul.
Lorri, I still remember working with you many years ago when you were dating Paul.  You have a wonderful family and I hope that the happy memories will ease a little of the pain of your loss.
My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dear Goldberg Family,
I was sad to think Halifax and the legal community lost a genuine, lovely gentleman. They are few. Sandy Bryant led me to Paul when I purchased my house in Halifax in 2002. Paul and his lovely wife Lorri visited me frequently at my Second Cup at HSC. My sincere condolences and deep sympathies to Lorrie, and his family.

I was very sorry to hear of Paul's passing.  Paul was the head instructor of Waeg Sailing when I started junior sailing there at age 10.  A few summers later I was thrilled to be invited to regularly race on Sting (as the rookie kid on the boat) with Dr, Goldberg, Paul, Alan Sullivan, Greg Smith, Gary Edwards, et. al.  This was a dream come true for me, and was for sure a big part of my decision to pursue a career in sailing.  40 plus years later and I've been in the sailmaking business for in New England for nearly three decades, and I spend every possible hour on  my boat with a family and friends crew (sound familiar?). Paul (and Dr. Goldberg of course!) were true mentors and sailing heroes to me, and to many others in the Halifax sailing community.  I think of those days often and fondly.  Paul was always the epitome of gentleman and sailor, and he set a superb example for everyone around him.  

Thanks Paul.

Lorri and family, first let me say we were unaware and very sad to hear of Paul's illness and passing.  Our Mothers, his Mum Miriam and mine, Connie were best of friends as girls and I can still see both of them, pretty In college together from many photos. Paul and I used to talk a lot about them and our days as kids growing up. Mike and I so enjoyed our New Year's Eve together with you and Paul, so many, many years ago.  Please know our thoughts, hugs and prayers are with you, Paul and your  beautiful family.  It makes me sad to think of you all enduring these hurting times but know you have many wonderful memories of him to keep in your hearts and souls.  He loved you all so much.  God bless and hugs from us in Philadelphia, Bette Rose( Chernin) and Mike McTamney.

To the entire Goldberg family, I wish to offer my deepest sympathies.  I knew Paul in a business capacity, but a more wonderful gentleman I have never met.  May your memories sustain you in this trying time.

To Lisa, Lorri and Family, please accept my heartfelt condolences for the loss of your Father, Husband, Son and Grandfather. He will be remembered as kind and welcoming, a gentle man of compassion and good nature.

Lorri, I was saddened to read of the loss of your dear Paul. I hope your wonderful life with him and the many happy memories you have will help to sustain you through these difficult times. My sincere condolences to your entire family.

Lorrie and family. Marc and I are very saddened to learn of Paul's death. We thought so highly of him and will never forget his kindness following Brian's passing which he continued to show these past ten years. We adored the man Paul was and Lorri we are here for you. So sad to have lost another wonderful person. He will be missed by all who knew him. Our deepest sympathies.

To the Goldberg Family my deepest sympathies.  I was in school with Paul many years ago.  He was a fine person with a great sense of humour.

To the Goldberg family, allow me to express my sincere condolences on your loss. Paul was a man that I have been happy to call friend since the days of our youth, at school, sailing on the Northwest Arm and throughout our working lives. I share in your loss.

Jimmie Gillis

On behalf of my late husband, Peter Sheehan, I want to let you know that I am thinking of the Goldberg family. Peter always spoke of Paul with high esteem. I met Paul a few times, and felt like I had know him a lot longer.  
 May the memories of Paul help you find comfort at this difficult time.
Dianne Sheehan
