I'm so sorry to hear about Paul. The thing I remember most about him was his great love for his children and wife, he talked about them constantly. It was a loss when he left our company and it is a loss that he has passed on - but he has left his lasting legacy behind.

I was truly saddened to learn of Paul's passing and have many fond memories of him. He was larger than life and has, undoubtedly, left a void in the hearts of everyone who had the privilege of knowing him. Although I had not seem him for many years, his warmth and kindness were never forgotten. Our loss is Heaven's gain!

I was genuinely shocked to hear of Paul's passing. I hadn't heard anything of him for years, but I will always remember that infectious grin and hearty laugh. God bless you all at this sad time.

As cousins we lived across the country but when we got together with Paul it was always a lot of laughs. From pulling a toboggan behind the boat as kids to a tequila night as adults, we never knew what would happen. We visited Paul recently and although he was going through a difficult time, his sense of humour remained. A different ethnic lunch buffet every day while we were there was the accomplished mission. We will miss Paul but will cherish the memories. Zane & Quinn's time with their dad was much too short.

We were very saddened to hear of Paul's passing. Although we did not share much time together, given the fact we lived so far apart, whenever we visited with cousin Paul, there was a guarantee that fun would be had by all. Every one of my memories of visits with Paul include laughing so hard my sides and face hurt. Even though our visits were few and far between, the time and distance melted away as soon as the visit began. We know how much he loved his family because his voice was full of pride, especially when he was talking about his children. It is so sad that one with such a zest for life would have his cut short. We are all better people for having had Paul in our lives and he will be sorely missed.

We are saddened by Pauls passing. What a tradegy at such a young age.We knew Paul primarily through his community activities and his political involvement. He always spoke so thoughtfully about you Ralph,and greatly admired your community work. He was a gifted individual.
We wanted you to know we are thinking about you in this time of great family loss. Our condolences

Our families joined after Paul had moved out but he just like a cousin or even a brother. Every conversation picked up right where we left off - days, months, or longer in between but it didn't matter.
Zane and Quinn will grow up missing out on many years with their dad, but the years they had will always be with them.

To Ralph & all of Paul's family;
Dan & I send you our most sincere condolences on the loss of your well-loved son, father, friend & colleague. We remember Paul from high school days in Kemptville as a fun-loving, engaging, busy student involved in everything - particularly anything that might possibly involve an election of some type.
We send you our wishes for peace & strength in the days ahead as you share treasured memories with those who will also miss him.

I have not seen or talked with Paul Raina for over 25 years, but from 1977 through 1981, I worked with Carleton-Grenville Liberals trying twice to get him elected MPP. Paul came second during both provincial elections. Later, we both worked hard on the Ontario Liberal Party leadership contest in 1982 for Richard Thomas, the environmental candidate, who came a respectable third behind Mr. Peterson and Ms. Copps.
While Paul and I didn't stay in touch, I have fond memories of the days of our "Liberal" struggles in the trenches. He had a great spirit and never shied away from a challenge.

I will miss Paul. He was a man of great humour and generosity of spirit.
The last time we met for lunch a few years ago we spent a long afternoon discussing the joys of fatherhood and family. That was Paul: personal, real and sharing.
My deepest sympathies go out to Kelly, Zane and Quinn.

My deepest condolensces to Paul's family. We have lost a great friend and colleague.
Since leaving Toronto, I have truly missed those impromptu lunches with Paul where you could pick up a years' old thread just like it was yesterday.

I know for certain that we never lose the people we love, even to death,
Paul will continue to participate in every act, thought and decision we make.
Paul’s love leaves an indelible imprint in our memories.
We find comfort in knowing that our lives have been enriched by having shared his love.

His laughter stilled,
But never gone from mind.
His caring missed,
But never lost to memory.
His friendship faded,
But never forgotten.
Fun, compassion and steadfast friendship…
I could never equal in return.
Thank you Paul…
Au revoir…and we will.
