Condolences & Memories (4 entries)

Very sorry to hear that Paul passed away. Met Paul in 1974 when I first came to Winnipeg Canada from Bombay. Worked for Hoechst in India so I made an effort to connect with Paul and Danny. Soon I started working for Roussel in Winnipeg. Paul and Danny showed me the ropes and helped me establish my career. Both of them were a great help to me. Paul loved helping people. My sincere Condolence to Janet and family. May his soul rest in peace. Roshan and Jimmy Ghadiali - Posted by: Jimmy Ghadiali (worked together.) on: Sep 09, 2023

Jan, my condolences to you and the family. Paul was a real good friend and there will be many memories with the association I had with him at the coffee shop, and then your backyard on the deck. Rest in peace Paul. - Posted by: Harry Salamacha (Friend ) on: Sep 09, 2023

Condolences to Janet and her family and friends. I met Janet and Paul through my marriage to Paul’s cousin Lou Chastko. First time was at Ozerno Hall Fall supper. We were in the basement “for some reason”. The get togethers continued through the years. My children fondly remember the New Year’s Eve toboggan parties that followed with Lou’s display of fireworks! Rest in Peace Paul, you will be missed!
