Paul will always be remembered for his happy go lucky ways. He had a laugh that we will never forget. Paul was always ready and willing to help anyone with machinery or car repairs. He really enjoyed the time that he spent with his children. Paul was diagnosed later in life with diabetes. He had a very hard time accepting his illness because it meant that he could no longer do the work that he loved best, repairing heavy equipment. A celebration of Paul's life will be held at Swan Valley Funeral Home, Swan River, MB on January 8 at 2:00 p.m. Lunch will follow at the Legion Hall in Swan River, MB. In memory of Paul, donations can be made to the Canadian Diabetes Association.
