In search of a better life Paul immigrated to Canada in 1949. He settled in Vancouver where he became a proud electrician of I.B.E.W. Local 213. He enjoyed the simple things in life and being outdoors, be it a walk around Langara Golf Course, playing soccer with the neighborhood children, skiing/ hiking Mount Seymour, bike riding to UBC, golfing and gardening. He taught himself, and then others, to ski, golf and play tennis. He passed on the wisdom of his life lessons and his work ethic to his children and his grandchildren. His stories and songs will be missed by all who had the opportunity to hear them. “Fly away home” dad, your work here is done.
