Paul MASLEN

MASLEN, Paul
Paul left us Wednesday, supported in his journey by all who loved him the most. Paul was a man of many talents, who could right most wrongs, from a broken faucet to a dysfunctional spreadsheet. For him life was never boring or obtuse. The ethical path was always clear. He was unabashedly proud of his children Dave and Kate and delighted when they respectively married Chia and Wayne whom he saw as their perfect life partners. Granddaughter Chelsea was the icing on his cake. Married to Martha for over 40 years he modelled fidelity and commitment and that all things endure no matter what befalls us. He was a loved big brother for Liz Roberta and Susan and fellow youthful adventurer with brother Greg. He will be missed by lifelong friends Marg and Gerry. Predeceased by his much loved mother Joy, and survived by his father Robert. All of us who love him thank our dear friends who supported us through the last difficult two years. Special thanks to the doctors and nurses who worked tirelessly on his behalf and who were unfailingly respectful and kind. For now family will try to manage life without him but in due course will let friends know how we will celebrate his life. In lieu of flowers donations to the Ottawa Humane Society, United Way, or Cancer Society would be appreciated. Online condolences may be made at
