Thanks Eva for sending me this nice picture of Uncle Paul, taken this summer when Eva went to visit him and Auntie, in Nakusp. Sad to say, Uncle Paul, passed away Thursday night , August 28th after a long battle with leukemia. We will all miss his wide smile and his welcoming arms that gave us a big hug every time we stopped in for a little visit. He always made us feel welcome and special, whether it had been a year or a month since we last visited... You could always count on him being so happy to see us. The door opened and he would say "Come on in!" and from there he's always be interested in what we were doing or where we were working. Auntie would bring out the borsht and we would share more tales over the lunch table, then follow it up with cookies and tea...and he loved those cookies!
I'll miss him. He was an Uncle you could count on...always there, and now, we'll have to believe he has gone to a higher place where the voices will sing for him as they say "Come on in!"
Funeral will take place on Friday, September 5th at the Castlegar Funeral Chapel at 10:00am, with interment to follow at the Kinnaird /Castlegar cemetary.
"The Creator"
