With his wicked throwing arm, he was easily part of the school baseball team. Paul worked with his father and brothers in the carpentry trade and soon became a respected carpenter and handy-man. Paul had a deep and abiding faith that found him giving generously of his time and talents to the St. Felix parish and his community. At Bayside, Paul’s gentle smiles endeared him quickly to all. Paul was a self-taught musician, enjoying the accordion, mandolin, banjo, violin, guitar and harmonica, which he played simultaneously with a harmonica holder. His favorite pass-time, on Sunday evenings was to play his violin, along with the old time music on CKLQ, Brandon station. His favorites programs on TV, included hockey, wrestling and baseball. He was a keen partner or opponent at crokinole and family card parties, especially at 500! A win or loss was always met with huge laughter and teasing. Paul’s joie de vivre was totally contagious.
