Paul was predeceased by his parents Bill and Neatha (Legge) Masey, father in law Bob, Ottawa and mother in law Anne, Halifax. He is survived by his wife of 31 years, Lynn, Timberlea, daughters Kristina (Michael), Middle Sackville; Courtney (Zachary) and granddaughter Emma, Middle Sackville, sister Heather (Bruce), East Pennant; brother in law Shawn, Bridgewater, sister in law Claire, Halifax and his cousins and nieces/nephews. We are so sad he will not get to meet his grandson due in September. Paul loved his furbabies Meeka and Ginny who will miss him so much and our late, sweet Buddy who will be waiting for him, looking for treats. Dexter, Radar and all of the cats will miss his love towards them too.
Paul’s proudest moments in life were the birth of his two daughters, Kristina and Courtney, who he was so proud of. Paul was a devoted husband and dad and he was always involved and at every school event, sports game or run. He loved taking them camping in the summers, building rinks in the winter and many bike rides, card games, hanging by the pool and movie nights together.
Paul began as a volunteer soccer coach for the girls when they were young and it became part of who he was. He loved coaching not only his girls but also everyone he was lucky to coach over the years, gaining many friends along the way, it truly meant the world to him. He loved the trips away for soccer, especially the Gunn tournament. He just wanted everyone to have fun but he sure did love to win too!
When he was younger Paul enjoyed his time spent with friends. Many memories spent camping, weekends at the camp and hanging out on the weekends with them. These friends were lifelong friends that became family. Those traditions were continued with his own children as he made sure to take them on many wonderful camping trips, had countless crib games and hours laughing and relaxing by the fire. He was happiest spending time with his girls at home and on trips away and we will always cherish the many memories at Crystal Palace and our Walt Disney World trip together.
Paul loved to hunt, fish and scuba dive and always had a love for cars including his dad’s T-Bird and his own Mustang. In later years he loved helping with his daughter’s cars. Paul was a die-hard Nascar fan; he never missed a race. He loved spending time outdoors and always made sure his critter friends in the yard were well fed. Paul took great pride in his home, his yard and loved to putter with projects around the house, he was a true handyman. Paul was always there to help neighbours and friends. He enjoyed woodworking and his most proud projects were for his daughters’ weddings. They will cherish these projects forever. Paul loved to cook and always made sure there was plenty to eat. His favourite foods were lobster, donair, chips and pop. He enjoyed pickling every fall with his father in law. Paul was a stubborn soul but he was also a kind and softhearted man who would do anything for anybody.
Paul started working as a teenager with his dad at Garden Electric and then moved into telecommunications working at Rosemount, Cabletec, Cabco, Allstream, DWS and then opening his own company Masey Technology Services Inc. Paul was a hard worker and well respected in his field and had a passion for the job that he did and the relationships he made through the years.
Paul will be missed by his devoted sister, Heather, who was always there for him. He loved our family camping trips with them, especially to Keji. They had the same love for the outdoors and had many great childhood memories. He cherished all of his time spent with her.
In his last years Paul had many struggles that he fought hard to overcome, including the loss of his best friend, his dad. Taken far too soon, we will always remember the wonderful son, brother, dad, poppy and husband he was and all the happy memories we shared with him.
We would like to thank Dr. Scovil and Marg, his specialists and all those that helped along the way. Paul is finally at peace and with his dad and mom and the rest of our angels who are watching over us.
