Paul loved music, especially Jazz. He was an accomplished, dedicated performer and teacher. Majoring in classical guitar, Paul completed a BA in music education at Western University. He taught upright bass, bass guitar, piano, and drums to students of all ages. Paul was part of many ensembles in the Grey/Bruce area. He especially enjoyed mentoring students during live performances.

Paul grew up in Bracebridge with a great appreciation for the outdoors. He lived in Toronto where he met and married Heather Hastings. In 1996 they moved to Owen Sound to begin their new life together and to be closer to Paul’s family. In Southampton he enjoyed daily walks along the shoreline and skated in the Winter. He had a passion for reading and discussing philosophy. Playing hockey was a lifelong joy.

Paul was a gentle soul who was kind and had a fantastic sense of humour. He showed amazing strength throughout his life and managed mental health obstacles with courage. May he be blessed with peace.

Sincere thanks are given to Hannelore who supported him with kindness.
