Sending love and prayers to Gail & Jim, Curtis, Adam, Glen, Vern, Troy & Chase. So sorry that I cannot attend your Dad and grandfather's service. I have many fond memories of Paul. What comes to mind is his mischievous smile and the beautiful wood work lawn ornaments he made along with other creative pieces. Hugs...Wanda - Posted by: Wanda (Friend) on: Apr 20, 2015

Condolences to all the Kereliuk families. Mary and Paul were my 1st and 2nd grade teachers. My special memory is their stay at my apartment in London, an evening at a play, another at a local pub and an impromptu dinner with friends. On my return to Canada they had a homemade cake to celebrate my birthday! - Posted by: Pat Wepruk (Cousin) on: Apr 19, 2015

A loving big brother. From my earliest recollection he included me with his children on family trips, camping etc. Always played his violin and accordion when called upon. Loved you brother always! Sister Theresa and Mike - Posted by: Theresa Narth (sister) on: Apr 18, 2015
