Roger & Anne

My sincerest condolences on the passing of your son. May love of him give you and all of your family strength at this time of adjustment. And may his memory be a source of Blessings for all of you...

The Lacroix Families, Tracy, and Justin

There are no words that can come close to expressing what this loss means to so many, including myself.
Paul was incredibly dedicated to community sports, and to his children, in ways that cannot be matched. From playing to officiating to coaching, his efforts were incredible and invaluable. I never figured out how he found the time for everything in a day.
To Roger and Anne and Paul's siblings, and Tracy and Justin (who was as well his family), I extend my deepest condolences. This one hurts a lot.

Paul's family and dear friends

I was saddened to hear this news. Early in my hockey coaching career, I had the privilege to coach Paul. His dedication on and off the ice was no doubt why he was named Captain for the Richelieu bantams. Once again, my deepest condolences to you the family, friends of Paul.

Paul’s family

What a shock to find this obituary of Paul today. He was the epitome of a life well lived. My deepest condolences to his family. I met Paul many years ago when he was the umpire for baseball and both my boys played. He took a liking to my son Adam and use to tease him a lot but in a good way. Adam was a hard hitter and one day Paul started chanting spanky, spanky because he said adam reminded him of spanky from the little rascals. Well the team started chanting as well and then every game after that adam was known as Spanky. Needless to say that nickname stuck and he was later more known as Spanx. A lot of people thought that was his real name. I always remembered Paul’s jestering spirit as he taught the kids sports. He was a kind man and always smiling.
Fondly remembered by the Pearce family.

Brenda and Derrick Pearce, April 12, 2023

The Entire Family

I knew Paul professionally through Gordon's Stationery, as I am a Territory Manager for the Global Furniture Group. When our conversations were not about business or office furniture products, they quickly turned to Hockey. I will always remember how passionate Paul was about Hockey, at every level, grassroots to the NHL...he cared about the game, and wanted the game to be available to everyone. That's who Paul was, always looking out for others. Paul will be missed, but his memory will live forever!!!
So sorry for your loss! My deepest condolences to all the family!

Glenn Calderwood, April 12, 2023

My deepest condolences to Paul's family and friends. Paul always made me laugh and challenged me positively as his Account Manager when I worked for one of his key suppliers.

Paul and I are so saddened for the loss of such a wonderful person. I always enjoyed our chats when Paul was working for Nedco and made deliveries to our house for Paul to take to work. Paul has many memories from baseball and hockey and their friendship that grew from that. He was just the kind of person that always left you with a smile.

His loss is huge to our community but especially huge to his family, cherished friends and his wonderful children. Please know we are thinking of all of you and sending prayers and love.

Chantal Renaud, April 12, 2023

Paul's Family and Loved Ones

I wanted to offer my sincerest condolences to Paul's family and those closest to him. He was taken from this world far too soon.

I did not know Paul well in a personal sense, but interacted with him regularly over the years in a professional capacity.

He was always respectful, friendly and had a great sense of humour...which I always appreciated about him. He was a genuinely nice person.

What we often hear most of those slighlty out of reach is how they are characterized by mutual connections. To me, and so many, Paul was a friendly and hard working member of the community, and a dedicated father who always waved in passing or stopped for a chat when we would see each other.

He always had my respect and set an example of what a good man can be.

Jeremy G, April 12, 2023

Roger, Anne, Tracy and family

Words cannot express the sorrow that we feel for you all with Paul’s recent passing. Paul was always so full of energy and laughter! He was passionate with any activity he took on giving it 100%…from Hockey, to running, to training at the gym. I recall his workouts at the Joe… he trained hard, maintaining a pace that few could follow. He was a bundle of energy and a pleasure to have around, as his passion for life was truly contagious. He will be truly missed by us all ️.

The Lacroix Family

I was deeply saddened to hear about the passing of Jean Paul, please accept my sincerest condolences.

Jean Paul was one of my coaches back in 2016 for the Kirkland Lake Gold Miners, and as a former member of the organization I can say without hesitation that he was an exceptional coach who made a profound impact on my life. He was always supportive, encouraging, and pushed me to be the best I could be on and off the ice. His dedication and passion for coaching were truly inspiring, and he will be sorely missed by everyone who knew him.

I hope that the memories of the wonderful times you shared with him will bring you comfort during this difficult time.

Tracy and Paul's Family

My sincere condolences to Tracy and Paul's family. Such fond memories of Paul. He helped mentor me as a young umpire with the local baseball association. He was confident and did not put up with disgruntled parents, lol. He was firm yet fair. He was a great pitcher too. I remember he was a lefty and threw that ball with vigor. I learned a lot from him over those summers. Years passed and most of my visits back home would include siting's of Paul running at a good clip training for half marathons. By the messages on this post, it is apparent Paul has touched many people and his passing is being felt by the entire KL community. I hope you'll be able to take comfort in your positive memories of Paul over time.

Paul and Dolores Lynch , April 13, 2023

Lacroix Family

Very saddened to hear of Paul’s passing.
Paul was the Minor Hockey referee supervisor back when I reffed in the mid 2000s. He was always very involved and took the time to teach us younger referees (he also had just the right amount of patience dealing with teenager refs at 7am making 20$ a game).
It was great running into Paul after the refereeing days - especially when he would ref my games. As a defensemen going into the corners or chasing after the puck, Paul would give a quick shout (“time”) to let me know if I’d have a bit of room to maneuver. It was always something I appreciated.
Having known Paul for a short time, I am not surprised to hear of Paul’s impact on the community, but am very sorry that it has ended so short.
Thinking of you all during this difficult time.

My deepest condolences to the family and the ones who loved him. Paul and I connected on many fronts such as chatting and our devotion to running, to name a few.

We will get that run in when we meet on the other side.

Mike Bowman, April 15, 2023

Family & Friends of Paul

I first met Paul through his work at Gordon’s when I started at the Hospital. Over the years, no matter the task he was working on, he always chatted about his kids, asked about mine and we always landed on sports. My son is close in age to Coleman- so we often talked about the boys’ hockey season and baseball in the summer. Paul had a great sense of humour and was just a good guy all around. My thoughts are with his family, friends and all of the kids he has come across in coaching/officiating.
