I ran alot of miles with Paul. Best time for me in trucking was running the east coast with him New Brunswick Nova Scotia. We had alot of fun times and laughs even had competition to see who could get the farthest in a day. Paul and Marlene were very welcoming to my family when they arrived in Canada from Australia knowing that they didn't have any family here besides me. We will miss talking to him and having a laugh. Rest easy trucker

Marlene amd family. I just learned that Paul passed away. I was so very sorry to hear such sad news. He messaged me about 2 weeks ago and I messaged him back. It was great hearing from him and so happy he reached out. Please know my thoughts.and prayers are with you and your family at this difficult time.
Marlene, Paul and Family. I had the pleasure to spend 3 days a week with Paul and we went on the odd tour with the cars. Paul was a wonderful man with a great no nonsense way about him. He's hard to put into words, this man was larger than life but as gentle as Santa and the Easter bunny. We are both blessed and able to refer to him as a friend. I am so sorry for your loss. He will defiantly keep a place in the hearts of everyone who had the pleasure to have met him. Sending love and hugs. I will miss you old man.
My family and I have known Paul and Marlene for over 40 years. Rip Paul till we meet again
