Paul Joseph Albert Vinet

Paul was pre-deceased by his parents Frank and Jeanne Vinet, brother Raymond Vinet, mother and father in-law Paul and Mary Felawka and sister in-law Valerie Healey.

He leaves to mourn his beloved wife Diana (Pienkowski), son Daniel and daughter Carolyn. Also mourning his passing are brother Gilbert, brother Ronald (Marie), sister Patricia (Adrien), sister in-law Margaret Vinet and sister-law Gay Courtice (Bill). He will sadly be missed by nephews Joel, Robert, Marc and Lance and nieces Sarah, Katie, Joanne, Charlotte, Jackie and Dara along with their family members.

Paul was born in St. Pierre, MB, and grew up playing hockey and socializing with his many friends. Those who knew Hoss, knew him as a good natured, happy man ready to crack a joke at any time, even if the joke was older than him. Many happy years were spent outdoors camping, fishing, golfing and collecting too many baseball hats. Laughter and stories were made at the cottage with his family and friends over many summers. No matter where the Vinets were, Paul was always quick to make friends with neighbors and those around him. His working years were spent in the lumber and window industry and directly with mentally challenged individuals. Paul made a lasting impression on those around him.

A celebration of Paul’s life will be held at 10:00 am on Saturday, September 19, 2015 at Thomson “In the Park” Funeral Home, 1291 McGillivray Boulevard.

A special thank you to Larry, Gilles, Rick, Harold and their families, along with The Turski family for all their love and support. Many thanks to all of our home care staff who made Paul's last few months a little more enjoyable.

Paul loved his family and friends, just as much we loved him.
