Also left to mourn are his brother John (Darlene), his sisters Ketty (Vern), Sonja and Connie (Gary) as well as eight grandchildren, four great-grandchildren and many, many nieces and nephews. Also mourning is his special family in Steinbach, Yvon, Megan, Jacob and Logan. His two special dogs, P.D. and Oscar will also miss their “Poppy.” He was predeceased by his parents, Jens and Inger, and his grandson Desmond. Paul was born on January 11, 1955 in Virden, MB. Upon graduation, he went to work for the CN Railway where he remained until his passing. CN moved him about where he lived in Emo and Thunder Bay, ON, and finally settling in Steinbach, MB in 1997. He met Vivian in Emo in 1981 and they were married in Fort Frances, on July 31, 1987. Paul loved life and lived it to its fullest. One of Paul’s many pleasures was being outside tending to his vegetable garden. He also took great pride in his many varieties of flowers, shrubs and landscaping his beautiful yard that included a fish pond with a waterfall. Paul enjoyed watching NASCAR and his Montreal Canadians and really enjoyed getting together with family and friends, for cards, board games and especially Gilles and Anita for a great game of Texas Hold’em.
