Paul's extended family were always made to feel important as he took the time to listen to them, have a few laughs, give heartfelt hugs or a pat on the shoulder with those big hands of his. Paul was one of the original owners of the Bo-Peep Restaurant with his father William and brothers Frank and Peter. He was the ultimate restauranteur and successfully opened many new locations over the years. Finally opening his dream restaurant in Unionville: The Bluestone Bistro with his beloved and talented children. He enjoyed many wonderful years at the helm and was rewarded with many new friends, valued customers and fabulous employees. As much as he loved his life as a restaurant owner, manager and mentor, his greatest accomplishment and love of his life was his family. We wish to thank all of our friends and neighbours for their love, kindness and support. We also wish to take this opportunity to thank the fabulous support workers who assisted in keeping dad at home, safe and very well cared for. Each and every one of you brightened his day and made him feel safe and comfortable. Paul has now found his peace, carrying our hope, love and joy with him. He always reminded us that life is rich and every personal connection has meaning. Always remember that laughter is life's finest creation. A celebration of Paul's life will take place at a later date as COVID protocols permit.
