Paul was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, and great grandfather. Paul was a lifelong farmer, dedicated to his land and his work, but his true legacy was the love and devotion he had for his family. He was known for his wonderful sense of humour and joke telling. His kindness, wisdom, and unwavering support will be deeply missed, and his memory will live on in the hearts of everyone that knew and loved him. The family extends their sincere gratitude to Vegreville EMS and the Vegreville Fire Department for their care and compassion. In keeping with Paul’s wishes, cremation has taken place, and a private celebration of life will be held at a later date.
