Rev. Paul Gordon Fairley

I still remember Paul taking the time to drive Anne and I to the airport when my Mom was dying. I'm grateful that I had a chance to say "Thank You" to him a few months ago.
Always Loved and Remembered,
Elaine & Anne Vautour

My last memory of Paul is when I annointed him and gave him communion a short while ago. He seemed very happy and joyful.

One of his cherished memories that he shared with me a few years ago was when he and his grandmother visited the part of England the family comes from and how connected he felt. I envy that becase I don't even know where to go to find my family. I am warmed that this memory that made Paul so happy.

My deepest sympathy to Paul's family, loved ones and...

Dear Paul;
What a beautiful memorial service you planned.
I watched it at my home in Mexico thanks to MCCT Toronto and you.
Love,

I had the pleasure and privilege of teaching English literature to Paul when he attended Northern in its Gifted department. He was always a bringer of joy in the classroom - delighting in and energizing discussions. I also remember his talent for organization as he created and executed the first ever fashion show as a fund-raiser for Northern's United Way campaign. Based on Phantom of the Opera, this fashion show was a stunning success, and the concept became the centre piece for the...

An incredible loss has been dealt to all whom Paul touched during his lifetime, but each and everyone of us has received an incredible gift in having had Paul in our lives. If I can recount just a shortened version of how I first met Paul
-he was the one holding the fairy wand and sprinkling the fairy dust during a Sunday commercial advertising the men's coming out group at MCCT. Paul's smile, warmth and excellent facilitation gave me my wings out of fear and self-loathing. Paul made it...

I cherish many memories of Paul - but especially visiting him while he was at MCC San Francisco and, one day, going to lunch with him at Orphan Andy's. Paul - you are one of the best!

My thoughts and prayers are with anyone affected by Paul's death especially the family.

I remember singing with Paul at the first evening service at MCCT. He was very encourageing warm and loving. he will be missed, but never forgoten!!

Love

Our dear, dear sweet Paul. My fellow Canadian, friend, pastor, humourist, and muse, and most deeply, my brother in Christ. We studied together, dined together, worshiped together and yes, we chased men together! Paul was forever cocked and loaded with a smile and hug. Most, it is your smile I will always remember.

Paul held me in times that seemed to be the nadir of my spiritual journey. He repeatedly refused darkness and chose light. He was intransigent in his faith and at the...
