Our hearts go out to Jane and all the family for the loss of such a good guy. I remember when Paul first moved to Hamilton. He had story after story even at 18, which shows Paul always lived a full life. He was a friend to everyone and I can’t fathom the number of times I have been asked, “Are you related to Paul?” Rest in peace.

Jane and Jesse although a few years have passed since we last saw each other, Trevor and I want to extend our deepest sympathies ❤️ To my big bro Paul I have many years of childhood memories with you from me giving you a black eye, to you eating bugs on burgers, living in our basement and me eating all your tums and clorettes gum, to you being the MC at my wedding and guiding me to the career I have to this day. You had such a big impact/influence in my life I wish I had the opportunity to say goodbye. Love you forever, rest in peace🩷 love always Tamara
