They settled first in Ashern, Manitoba and later moved to Winnipeg where they raised eight children. Paul was a welder by trade and worked for Air Canada, Co-Op Implements, and Heli-Fab. Paul enjoyed spending his time at the cottage at Bird Lake in the company of his family. Although Paul was not an avid fisherman, he enjoyed taking family and friends for a scenic cruise on his beloved pontoon boat.
