Paul OGRAM

1942-2023

On Friday, January 20, 2023, Paul Mills Ogram, loving husband, father, brother, and friend, passed away at age 80. A deeply faithful man who made a tremendously brave journey with IPF Lung Disease, Paul felt deep peace in life and in death. He is deeply missed by his wife Robbie; children David (Jennifer), Jeremy (Taylor), Leslie (Ryan), Paul (Dory); sister Eva (Marv); grandchildren Niamh and Eoghan, Reese and Kendell, Logan and Anya; and many friends. Paul was predeceased by his first wife Stephanie. Always puttering and never able to sit, Paul tirelessly looked for things to fix and did so with a tremendous patience and skill. Persistent, if he didn't know how to do something he took the time to learn and committed it to memory. Paul looked for ways he could help others and did so with grace and humility. He was reliable and dependable and was always there for family and friends alike. Paul was a vital part of the new build of Knox Presbyterian Church in Waterloo (Construction Watch-dog) and experienced a deep sense of connection with that faith community. Throughout his working years he worked on a number of farms, at J.D. Ogram Plumbing and Heating, the Bank of Nova Scotia, Dare Foods, Power Vac, Conestoga Cold Storage, Systems Plus, and created his own Handy Man business. Paul was and always will be loved by so many.
