In loving memory of a wonderful person. I helped Paul and Caterina buy their home in Stittsville and continued being in contact with Paul after the deal closed. Paul was full of life, always a smile on his face and kind words for everyone.

Paul lived the dream and reminded us to do so everyday. No one cared more about his family, work, friends and colleagues.
"Pressure makes diamonds" he would say. He made us all diamonds. Better at what we did and better people everyday.
Caterina, Cassandra and Elizabeth, may you gather strength from those around you during this diffult time. My love, and thoughts are with each of you.
Paul, I will miss you.

Like so many others, I had the pleasure of working with Paul at Sears. There was always a sparkle in his eyes and you felt the warmth from his heart. He was the kind of guy you would run up the escalator for so you could talk to him...because you wouldn't want to miss the opportunity to be with him. He blessed us all.
I remember the photos on his desk of his beloved Caterina, Cassandra and Elizabeth. May God bless you and your family and give you the strength you need at this time.

We want to extend our sincere sympathies to Caterina, Kassandra and Elizabeth, we will always be there for you! Also, to all his siblings who we met several times. Isabelle and John Copeland

I had the great pleasure of working with Paul during our careers at Sears Canada, and his work ethic, integrity and sense of fun touched everyone. The way he spoke about his family, however, is what I will remember most. It was obvious that he loved and adored them all and considered himself to be the luckiest husband and father in the world.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you all at this most difficult time.

Paul and I started at Sears a very long time ago. A good friend, soft spoken, funny, polite and positive. We always attempted the one up on the other for classic comeback lines. He loved cars. No matter when, If he was at Carlingwood he would always come down to visit "the boys" in the garage. Anyone who knew him understands the tremendous loss, condolences to his family, but be proud you had him so close for so long.....

Paul was an amazing person full of integrity, class, and a great sense of humor. I've never laughed so much when he was around. The world is a bit dimmer with him gone and we were all lucky to have known him. Thanks for calling and checking in on me from time to time even after we all left the company and making fun of me about how many suitcases full of (free) toilet paper and food I brought back to Toronto. I'll remember your big laugh and the funny times we all shared. Thanks for inviting me to the house to visit with the family in Ottawa a couple of summers ago. I'll always remember us sitting in those rickety chairs in the parking lot at Sobey's and watching all those kids apply for part-time jobs. Much love and prayers to the entire family.
He always has a smile on his face......

Paul was a member of the Byers family though his first marriage and I have been honored to call him a friend since then. Back then he was so passionate about golf and fishing and he was for sure the funniest man I have ever known. Although I never had the pleasure of meeting Tina and the girls, my condolences and best wishes go out to them. The world is a poorer place with Paul's passing.
