Paul was born in Yugoslavia and came to Canada from Austria in 1950. He met Theresa on the ship immigrating to Canada and together they shared many years of happiness and hard times. Paul enjoyed his career as owner/operator of Pauls Lathing and Plastering and relished in the opportunity to make many new acquaintances and friends during his years in the business. Some of Pauls most enjoyable moments where those spent camping and taking his boat out fishing the waters of the Whiteshell, searching out the big one! His comments, I caught her, I caught her, but she got away, will ring in our ears and bring a smile to our face. Paul was a member of the Canadian German Society for 33 years and made many good friends during his association within this society. Paul enjoyed gardening and loved his canine companion Shadow whom he shared many special moments with since 1993.
