PAUL DeRYCK 1935 - 2004 Peacefully, on Wednesday, February 25, 2004, Paul DeRyck passed away at the Riverview Health Centre after a brief illness at the age of 68 years. He leaves to mourn his passing, his son Terry Gillespie; his grandchildren, Jolene and Ryan; sisters, Cecile and Denise (Edwin Lytle) brother Armand (Gerry) uncle Emile Buydens; numerous nieces, nephews, good friends and acquaintances. Paul contracted polio in 1956 and had resided in polio wards at the King George and Riverview Centre for the past 47 years. Despite several physical limitations, Paul lived life to the fullest and made a large number of close friends and acquaintances both in the community and with the staff at Riverview. Our sincere thanks to those staff members and friends who were especially close to Paul and made his life more enjoyable. They are too numerous to mention. In accordance with Pauls wishes, cremation has taken place. There will be no service. Those wishing to offer a token of remembrance to Pauls life may make a donation to the Polio 53 Club 2E 28, Riverview Centre, 1 Morley Ave., Winnipeg, MB R3L 2P4.
