He was the recipient of the Governor General's Caring Canadian Award. Paul enjoyed twenty two summers in Algoma Country directing Blue Fox Fishing Camp. This endeavour allowed him to develop an interest in fly fishing and an opportunity to invest in the future of many young people. Paul was adopted by the aboriginal youth and continued this dedication throughout his life... He was a patron of multiple aboriginal artists and a collector of their art and literature. He was a recipient of "The Companion of Ontario," and honoured with the spirit name "Gwiich Semguina" (He who walks with us), in recognition of his dedication to aboriginal education. Paul was an avid sports enthusiast... working for Toronto Maple Leaf Baseball Club, Toronto Argonaut Football Club and supporting numerous high schools in both Canada and US. Most recently he achieved "Favourite Fan" status in support of "Blue Raider" Basketball. Paul will be missed by all whose lives he touched. A Celebration of Paul's Life will be scheduled at a later date. In lieu of flowers and memorial donations, Paul asked that we instead "Be the Voice of Encouragement."
