• We have many fond memories of Father Deacon Paul, including when he served at the Great Vespers at our 25th anniversary celebration in 1998. His burial service on Youtube is a wonderful witness. His falling asleep evoked some sadness, but also allowed us to share many memories of shared services, stories and laughs around the kitchen table, etc. We look forward to seeing you in June and continue in prayer for all the family. God bless! - Posted by: Felix and Linda Kuehn Family (friends) on: Mar 21, 2012

• Hello Irene, My condolences on your loss. Though I never met you we did speak once on the phone a good many years ago when I was trying to locate Paul in regards to the 50th anniversary of Sisler High. Paul and I were classmates through high school, sharing in a number of experiences and adventures (playing football, attending graduation, and, of course, getting into some trouble!). Paul and I did connect in 1998(?) and subsequently met at the Sisler Celebration. Along with two other close friends we spent a whole night reminiscing and bringing ourselves up to date with one another (just like the old days). Paul and I also had a private conversation where he shared his happiness with his life, especially his family, and his role in the church. I will always remember him for his earnestness and his open heart. I know that he leaves much goodness for others. Keep very well. Ted - Posted by: Ted V Kardash (friend) on: Mar 20, 2012

• To Irene and family; I was saddened to hear of Paul's passing. It brought back great memories of our time in graduate school. I wish we had known that you were in the GTA, since we spent many years in Toronto, and it would have been nice to get together with you. I remember Paul for his friendly nature and his keen interest in the sciences. Sorry to hear that he has left us. He will be missed. - Posted by: Paul and Vona Desjardins (Friends) on: Mar 15, 2012

• Dear Paul, My memories of you extend back to when we were teenagers at the Grandma Klos place in Minneapolis, Minnesota. We would hang out in the kitchen and backyard and you and Frank would crack jokes. Your gentle wit was legendary to me. I lost track of you, but heard news about your football prowess. It wasn't until lately, during your long illness, when Frank visited the Galka place in Milwaukee, Wisconsin that I was made aware of your extensive education and use of it. Now you are gone. Knowing the painful sadness I feel at your passing, I can only imagine the grief your loved ones must feel. Well, we all know that you put up a good fight, enduring and loving until the end. Goodbye dear cousin and friend. My deepest sympathy goes out to your loving wife, Irene, and your beautiful family. - Posted by: Joanne Herrmann (cousin) on: Mar 15, 2012

• I was a grade 11 student in Saint Jean-Baptiste in 1964 when Mr. Humniski came to teach. It was his first teaching experience and I guess his last! He was such a bright man that when he tried to teach us science, he would instantly have the answer but we needed the small steps to solve the problem. I became his right hand person in class! After graduating I return to teach in Saint Jean-Baptiste and I always wondered where one of my favourite teachers had gone. My sincerest sympathy to the family. - Posted by: Paulette I.
