Aix-en-provence, July 2008, on a father/son romp around Paul’s favourite grape-growing region.
As many of you know, Paul died peacefully at the end of July 2012, in the midst of a vacation with his family at a cottage in Haliburton, where he could sit on the deck and watch his three granddaughters play by the lake.
As his wife (my mother) Valerie wrote in the days following,
“As you all know, Paul’s intention was always to live fully until he died. A special thanks to the friends and family who formed his Communication Circle, whose love and faithful dedication made it possible for Paul to speak, joke and inspire us all right to the end.
It has been a long and sometimes very difficult journey for all of us as a family but the love and support of so many, coupled with Paul’s determination to ‘beat the odds’ kept us all going.”
It’s a bit hard to close this blog down, but i figure it’s time to do just that. A huge thank you to all his readers who kept him inspired, and in turn, all of those around him.
