I worked with Paul on helping Syrian refugees settle here in Canada. He and his wife Sandra were warm and cared about the world. They had a warm welcoming home. He was a strong man too! Had to be in his early 90s or late 80s, helping me fix up a house for newcomers. I'm not a believer in the other stuff, but I didn't really matter, his focus was on giving back and helping humanity. I did ask him, once, you know - you've had such a storied career, why come out about this stuff. He recognized that some people thought of him as not being a serious person, but he pulled a picture from his inside his coat pocket - his grand-daughter. He showed to me, and told me this is why he does it, because the public has a right to know, if future generations are going to solve the problems we have left for them, they have a right to know. In getting to know him over a few months, I believe he was genuine in his intent, he wasn't in it for the money or fame. His life had a great deal of service and left an in-deniable mark on me - build a slice of your life as service to others. Your a Canadian Hero. God Bless Paul and Sandra.

A strong,eloquent and precise writer, who influenced readers (lucky enough to discover his thoughts) long after his passing. May he test in peace after a life well lived. A selfless individual who made a huge contribution to this planet.

A great man he will be missed by many. He tried to make Canada a better Country but he never seen it come to pass. If all his plans for Canada had worked out we would have the strongest economy in the world.

We knew you and your family at Southminster and from Old Ottawa South, where we also lived. My father was an Officer in the Military, serving in Ottawa, during your term as Minister of National Defence and he admired you greatly. We knew you to be a kind and warm person, a dedicated family man. On behalf of my late parents and sister, I offer sincere condolences. Take comfort in this quote attributed to Buddah: "Neither fire nor wind, birth nor death, can erase our good deeds.".

Honourable Paul Hellyer was a dear friend and mentor who has always been a symbol of hope, honour and truth.

I want to share my condolences with the Hellyer family on the passing of Paul
I have fond memories of Paul. I recall reading a draft of a book he gave me in the late 80's when he had offices on the Esplanade. I had many conversations with Paul in the late 80's and early 90's. Sadly I haven't spoke or seen Paul since the late 90's.
I have fond memories of visiting the family Ginseng farm during the late 80's and 90's and speaking with his Son Peter during those trips.
I would always have fond memories of Paul and trips to his family's farm
With the passing of Paul Hellyer we lost a unique Canadian whose contributions very few know of, and even fewer understand the impact he made.

I have only met Paul through email, where I helped him with a couple of minor internet issues. However, his spirit has been with me for decades. I was inspired to write to Paul in December of 2018, and I would like to share the contents of that email:
"To Paul Hellyer,
I want to express my gratitude for your Presence and for your efforts over the years. Your work has has helped to lay the groundwork for the amazing changes which are now occurring on Planet Earth.
People are warming up to communications with other-world entities, and are interested to travel within our solar system and beyond. We begin to recognize that chaos and injustice on this planet needs to be addressed before we venture into deep space.
Thank-you for attempting to remedy the ills of the Earth, and for awakening those who need to hear the message of the Universal Community.
You have been an inspiration for me and many others, to carry on with the message that we are not alone in the Universe, and that we are preparing to go to Space. Some with a spaceship, and some without!
I look forward to 2019 as the year of greatest change for humanity as we come together to leap forward!
Cheers, Rick"
Of course, Paul was cordial enough to reply. It turns out that I communicated to him December 28th, a couple of days before he "resigned from the e-mail circuit December 31, 2018 to save the 2 or 3 hours for other projects. The most important of these is a series of 5-minute YouTubes covering the 10 or 12 most important issues facing humankind at the moment."
Thank-you Paul.
May your spirit live on forever in our hearts.

I am a friend of Paul's over the past 15 years. We shared a common interest and common friends. Paul was always so kind to me and others. He certainly represents a passing generation that will never be replaced. From a simple gesture of giving me a blue tie to wear in Washington, D.C., to hand writing me a letter to my home in New York, I will always remember him for his generosity of spirit, goodwill, and tremendous courage! Paul made me feel as if I mattered on a personal and professional level. God bless you, Paul, my friend. You are deeply missed.

Thank you Paul for your great service to Canada and your humanitarian efforts over the globe. You truly were a giant to many communities and in government. Such a bravely spoken man to the seeking of the truth in all your accomplishments, and to the truth humanity is waking up to at this most important juncture in time in this most depserate hour. You will be so missed by so many, may your work be carried through in your spirit life to see what you strived to show all on this planet. Peace be with you and your family.

Some of my earliest memories are of “Uncle” Paul and “Aunt” Ellie visiting our home on their way home from visiting family in Waterford particularly a couple of days after Christmas each year. Ellie and my mother, Enid Mary Elizabeth Skinner Howden, were best friends, serving as maid/matron of honour at each other’s weddings, and the choice of the name Mary Elizabeth for their firstborn shows Ellie and Paul‘s regard for my mother.
Uncle Paul delivered the toast to the bride at my wedding, and years later approached me about running for Parliament under the Action Canada banner.
The clearest illustration I know of Paul’s thoughtfulness, kindness, and generosity of spirit was that he cared enough to drive to Hamilton to tell my mother in person of Ellie’s death, even though she was by this time in a nursing home and suffering from dementia as well as physical limitations.
May the multitudes of happy memories you have created as a family, and the recollections recorded here or told to you in other ways, comfort and enrich you for the rest of your lives.

I have Mr. Hellyer to thank for providing me with many of the fondest memories in my life, both as a guest and as an employee of Arundel Lodge, and then later on as a father. As those who have visited Arundel know it is a truly unique place, which in my view no other part of the world comes close to. When applying for my first full time job as an articling student, Mr. Hellyer graciously provided me with a glowing and extensive reference, nothwithstanding my admittedly limited skills as a waiter at the lodge. I still remember the surprise on the faces of the attorneys interviewing me that day when they discovered I had a recommendation from such a well known politician ! I enjoyed several of Mr. Hellyer’s books, in particular those that deal with his early challenges and experiences in politics and business. It was an honour and a privilege to know him. Truly a Canadian icon !
