Condolences

So sorry to hear of this, my sincere condolences to Diane and the family, may he rest in peace . May your many years of love and nemories bring you some comfort and peace.

There are not enough words, nor the right kind, to say that I recognize your loss, and I ask the lord to hold you and comfort you you at this time.

So sorry to hear of his passing. He was a wonderful friendly man. We met him years ago when his family lived on SwordsRd and ran the Pop Shoppe. His humour will be missed by everyone that was lucky enough to know him..RIP

Uncle Paul was the BEST at telling stories!!! He could always call my bluff when we played Malarky at Christmas. We are going to miss you Uncle Paul 🩷 sending so much love to you Aunt Diane, Nicole, Harmony, Ben and Christopher. Love from, The Other Beggs: Jen, Pete, Randy, Sean and Rachel

The World has lost a wonderful person. I've known Paul since he bought dads (Phil Brook) yellow warehouse on Pine Drive (where Harveys sits now.) Paul was wearing shorts in winter then too. Paul challenged Phil to wear his shorts as long as he could. Phil gave in at Halloween and Paul continued til January. Such memories !!! Keep the slices upright on the trays, Paul. Take a rest, you deserve it.

I am so sorry for your loss, I remember Paul delivering bread to my parents store in Pointe au Baril. Such a nice man. He will be missed. Thoughts and prayers to you and yours.

So sorry to hear about Paul. He and his family brought us bread to the Rosseau General Store for over 20 years. He was a very kind, gentle soul. He will be greatly missed

I am so sorry to hear of your loss Diane. Please know you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

So sorry to hear of your loss. He was a great guy. He always brought a smile to my face with his humor and sunny personality. Sending hugs.

So sorry to hear this sad news Diane. Sincerest condolences to you and your family. May the special memories and the love you have shared help you through this sad and difficult time. Thinking of you.

Diane: Sincere condolances. You were a marvelous wife and nurse to Paul through his many health challenges.
I know how you fought to keep him well!
Thinking of you!

Diane, I am so sorry to hear of Paul’s sudden passing. My deepest sympathies, hugs and prayers are with you and your family at this difficult time.

Deepest condolences Diane. How lucky Paul was to have you working by his side, fighting for his health and raising such a wonderful family with him.

Sincere condolences to Diane, family and friends, so sorry for your loss 😔🙏

My condolences to Paul's family. He was such a hardworking man and provider. He and Diane raised a beautiful family. I dare say that "Paul the Breadman" was a local icon. Seeing him working in shorts, well after I had started wearing long johns always put a smile on my face. Rest in peace, Paul. It is time for you to get waited upon. 💜💜

I am sorry for your loss, and send my sincere condolences to you and the family. Such a loss is never easy to bear, and he will be missed. All my best.

I am just seeing this and am saddened by it. Paul was a great supporter of the PSHS Music Dept. when I was teaching there and his kids were involved. My deepest sympathies.
