Paul was my older brother. Although he married and moved to Winnipeg while I was a wee child I do recall being his flower girl at his wedding with Sharon, We were able to reunite when I had married and had the opportunity to visit and spend time with him in Winnipeg. It never mattered what direction our lives went in or how many degrees of separation there was, I remained, his little sister and knew I could always count on him to be there for me. Paul and I spent many hours on the phone when Covid hit and we became close as adults and I loved our conversations as we always shared a good laugh, I loved the unexpected nature of his humour. I am sorry he is gone but feel blessed I knew him. Thank you to Dave & Gord (friends and buddys) for sharing your words. L Thank you for your wonderful memory of my big brother. Hugs from the Lil Sis. - Posted by: Susan Shields (Little Sister) on: Jul 11, 2023
