Dear Virginia and family, Please accept our most sincere condolences on the loss of your Father. Keeping you all in our prayers as you travel the next few weeks and months. Hold tight to your memories for strength.
I’m so sorry to hear about your loss Lou-Anne. Your father was a wonderful man. Sending our condolences to you and your family x
Thinking of you all.
Dear Jim and Family: Geoffrey and I (Adie’s Parents) wish to extend our condolences to you and your siblings and their families at this time of grief. We never met your Dad, but heard so many things about his loving personality demonstrated by his kind acceptance of Adie into Jim’s life. Samuel will be missed. God bless you in the days and months ahead as you face life without his loving presence.
One of our fellow, ORIGINAL Normark Drive neighbours..
The last time I saw both your Parents was a few years back celebrating another neighbour.
We had a LOVELY conversation.
Sending all of you love & light.
Dear Virginia, Lou-Anne, Jim, Michelle and Andrew,
I cherish my memories as your close neighbours on Normark Drive. Your parents were always so warm and welcoming. No doubt your Dad’s absence will compound the void already felt by the loss of your dear Mom, Louise.
Much love, Danica
My condolences to the whole family. I have very fond memories of Mr Paul at his house in Thornhill where we gathered as teenagers in the basement. They were good days, and I know he will be missed. I am thinking of you all.
Sam ‘s smile and warm laughter always lit up a room. His caring and thoughtful nature touched the hearts of all with whom he shared his life. He was a very kind hearted man..….he will be missed!
I will always think of my uncle Sam with a smile. Life is made up of moments – he laughed at his own corny jokes, he would enjoy a rich dessert and then put sweetener in his coffee. I wore him out once dancing a polka (honey, my feet, my feet!), but he carried on. Always upbeat and energetic, and always called me ‘honey’. Hugs and kisses and much love to his family, which I’m proud and lucky to be a part of.
My sincere condolences to the Paul family. I have so many incredible fond memories of the Paul residence being so inviting and a loving, if not almost, an extended family to me especially during my high school years. May he rest in eternal peace. My prayers are with you all at this time of family loss. God Bless, Lydia Foch
Dear Virginia, Lou Anne, Jim, Michelle & Andrew, your children & grandchildren
Us Anderson’s wish to send our heartfelt condolences on the passing of your Dad. My fondest memory is when he got one of the first satellite dishes. He was so very excited to show me all 400 channels! Every sports channel all over the world. I thought this man is gonna be watching Tv for hours & hours! I’m sure your mom is very happy to be reunited with him. May he rest in peace.
My heartfelt sympathies to all the family for the loss of such a wonderful man. Bob and I loved him very much. I look back frequently on all those many great memories with the Paul family over the years .
Dear Virginia,Lou Anne, Jim , Michelle and Andrew. So very sorry to learn of Dad’s passing. Uncle Sam was one of the good ones. Always a bright smile and he was always happy to see you. May all the beautiful memories of your Dad be of comfort to you at this time.
Sending our love ,
Vince Cathy and Julianna
Our Sincere Condolences to the whole family. Sam was a wonderful man and long time friend to our family.
On behalf of Sam’s family. We thank you so much for the outreach of condolences in the passing of our Dad/ Papa Sam. We appreciate all the kind words and personal messages that we have received. We understand that the weather had kept many from being with us in person, but we felt your presence in our hearts. 💕
To Virginia, Jim, Michelle, Lou-Anne, Andrew and the rest of the Paul family,
I just returned home to hear the news of your dad’s passing.
Three of the 4 Zupancic kids grew up with the Paul family and have fond memories visiting the Knotty Pine and Normark houses. As well, our mom Claire was best friends with your beloved mom Louise. Many a fun time was had with the Paul family over 50+ years. Our hearts are with you. RIP Sam.
