Paul served in the Royal Canadian Navy for 15 years and retired early to help bring up his boys. Paul was involved in many charitable events for MS, Meals on Wheels and The Ride to conquer Cancer. Paul was diagnosed with a brain tumor in 2005 and went through radiation that put him into remission for 11 years. In that time he continued his charity work and helped a lot of people with The Brain Tumor foundation of Canada. Paul was active in the Royal Canadian Legion in St.Catharines ON, helping out at fish fries and poppy sales for Remembrance Day. There was a special family in our lives, the Stevens. They were always there for us and Paul considered their daughter Sarah, who grew up with Zachery, his own. Unfortunately, the tumor returned and could not be stopped. He was predeceased by sister Linda Ellis; paternal grandfather Charles Ellis; maternal grandfather Benoit Comeau; mother and father in law Harold and Velma Reece; sister in law Linda Quaranto. Cremation has taken place and as per Paul’s request there will be no funeral service at this time. Funeral arrangements have been entrusted to Sweeny’s Funeral Home and Crematorium in Yarmouth.
