I will miss my brother as he was always there for me. To listen to my aches and pains as we were travelling the same road. He never complained, just suffered without saying a word. Paul, I will miss our meetings for coffee at the mall. Rest in peace, Love you. - Posted by: claudette therrien (sister) on: Jun 13, 2012

This is a man his name should be in big letters as he was a man of big heart truthful to his word, Strong in body and mind as he walk the walk and talk the talk. I was very lucky to have known him all my life as the rest of his family as they are my heros. we all came from very little and made very good lives. Paul married one of the best in life as Esther was always there for it all and I say thank you for taking such good care of my friend of the years. I give my best to the girls Tammy and Kim and families. Love Glen Smith - Posted by: Glen Smith (Proud to call him my friend) on: Jun 09, 2012
