Dear Joan, Adam, and family,
Paul was a part of my life for over five decades.  From the Hart Singers of Lachine through many musical groupings over the years I was lucky to be included in his world.  As a bassist/sideman, junior painter and friend I came to know him and felt him as a brother.

Paul's sense of humour was infectious and he didn't hesitate to tell you, without sugar coating, what was on his mind.  You wouldn't ever entirely relax with him because he loved mischief and was a master of the acerbic one-liner.  One time at the end of a painting day, I carefully changed out of painting whites and scrubbed my hands and face, wishing to take public transit as an artist, not a painter. He stopped me before I left saying something like "you missed a spot" and tended to my face with his rag.  Only when I got home did I realize my face was covered in white splotches.

Joan and Adam, you were the riches in his life. I saw him take on the roles of husband, father, and grandfather and he relished in them.  I am thankful that he shared so much of that with me.  I remember him with a heaviness of heart, and a big smile on my face. Bon voyage my friend!

Paul was a great guy - fond memories of our conversations, his guitar playing on the steps at St.Ignatius- he will be missed! My sincere condolences to the family.  In this time of sadness may we be comforted knowing he suffers no longer, and he is present always in our thoughts, and in our hearts.

Hi Adam... Christine and I would like to express our sincere condolences on your fathers passing.  I knew you when you were just a little Tyke... but unfortunately the miles and years have not afforded me the chance to get to know the man you've grown up to be.  Your father was the Best Man at my wedding and a dear friend for many of my younger years (since he was 15 years old).   He was kind, religious and one hell of a musician...... I am sure the man you are today has been shaped in large part by the man your father was...  you must be a great guy !!  May God Bless you and your family and give you the strength and pride to celebrate your Dads life..
Love.. Wayne & Christine


Very sorry to hear of Paul’s passing.  He always had a smile.  Our condolences to the family.
Kathy & Jon Fielding
