SOLOMON YANOVER Obituary
On July 11 Hamilton lost a little piece of its heart with the passing of Paul Hanover (born Solomon Yanover) in his 97th year. Paul was predeceased by parents Morris and Tema, his wife Helen and siblings Rose, Sam, Max and Ben. He is survived by his sister Fay. He leaves his sons Ian (Ina) and Lawrence (Fran); grandchildren Tovah (James), Aaron (Alisha) and Gabriella (Alon); great-grandchildren Anna, Norah, Charlie, Sam and Adam.
At 900 CHML Paul was a pioneer of personality Morning Radio in Canada. He was named as "The Mayor of the Morning" for his service to the community. His busy career included 17 years hosting game shows on CTV including the hit "It's Your Move"; track announcer for The Jockey Club and countless Emcee gigs including the B'nai Brith Sports Night. In his spare time you could find him at the YMCA or The Beverly Golf Club. He had more time for golf, the game he loved to hate, when he retired from "showbiz" in 1991after helping to launch CKLH FM.
Paul was named to Hamilton's Gallery of Distinction recognizing his service on numerous charitable boards and committees. Paul was named Citizen of the Year for the JNF Negev Dinner in 1974.
The family would like to thank all the doctors, nurses, PSW's and other professionals who helped Paul on his journey. If you wish to make a donation in his memory please choose your favourite charity.
There will be a funeral service at the United Hebrew Memorial Chapel at 28 Ewen Road, Hamilton, Wednesday 2 p.m.
Paul Hanover's career and family life can be summarized by his radio sign-off, "Do as you would be did by."

Sorry to hear of Paul's passing, who was a long-term friend of my Dad's, Chuck Harrison, back from their days at Westdale School. I had a wonderful conversation with him years ago about public speaking when he delivered a speech at the Hillfield Old Boy's dinner which I've never forgotten. He was a great family friend.

My sympathies go out to all of Paul's family..... For many years I heard Paul's sign off and if I remember correctly Paul hosted the show from the Chicken Roost on Saturdays...IF ONLY MORE PEOPLE TODAY LIVED AND WORKED BY PAUL'S MOTTO.... "DO AS YOU WOULD BE DONE BY"

Paul (Saul) interviewed me on the air when I was a little boy on my way to Adelaide Hoodless School. I've always remembered that. I really appreciated his long years of radio work and I wish the Family Peace.
