1932 ~ 2016
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the peaceful passing of our beloved husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather, Paul, at the age of 83 year, on February 2, 2016 at the Beausejour Hospital.
Dad was predeceased by his parents John and Tillie, his sisters Elsie and Anne, brothers Mike and Harry, and nephew Mitch.
He leaves to mourn his loving wife of 60 years, Edna; children Randy (Shirley), Darrell (Shelly) and Brad (Nancy); grandchildren Steven (Brittany), Mark (Kaitlyn), D.J., Jaclyn, and Justin; great granddaughter Natalie, and sister in-law Helen, along with numerous nieces and nephews.
Dad was born and raised in Sandhill, MB. Dad loved the land and was a farmer at heart, but his true love was mom. Dad and mom were married on June 11, 1955. In 1957 they purchased their family homestead and began their family shortly after.
Dad was a hardworking, modest man with a huge heart. His family was everything to him and he considered this his greatest accomplishment. He held a special place in his heart for each of us, but his grandchildren were his pride and joy. The love he had for them was immeasurable. He greeted them with his huge smile and warm hug each time they visited. Dad’s favourite saying was “Thanks for coming”. He was always concerned for his family and wanted to know that everyone was okay, even in his last days.
The family would like to express their appreciation and heartfelt thanks to the staff at the Beausejour Hospital and Dr. Van Rensburg for their compassionate care.
Funeral Service will be held on Saturday, February 6 at 10:30 a.m. at Sobering Funeral Chapel, 1035 Park Avenue E., Beausejour with interment to follow in Sandhill Cemetery.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in dad’s memory to the Beausejour Hospital.
