Audrey and family, Patsy, Ken, Jean, Joanne, Larry, Pauline,Kevin and famililes : I am sorry to hear of Paul’s passing. Memories of Paul from our St. Columban , Seaforth area school days riding the school bus and youth filled area events , he was always a wonderfully kind and friendly person.
May all your memories and time with Paul help you through this very difficult time.
R.I.P Paul
I wish to offer my condolences to the Coyne and Nash families.
In the mid to late 70s I coached Paul & Larry on the St. Columban men’s soccer team for a few years. Paul was an excellent player and a pleasure to coach. He was competitive but played with a smile on his face.
A couple of months ago I had a great visit with Paul and a couple of his friends in his man cave. I was very impressed with his attitude; resigned to his fate with faith & dignity and nothing negative expressed at all.
RIP Paul.
Audrey, Joel and Britt, Danny and families. Thinking about you during this very difficult time. So glad we got a great visit with Paul a few weeks ago. So many memories that we will hold close to our hearts.
Sending our Deepest Sympathies Audrey, Sons, Coyne and Nash Families in your loss of Paul. He was always so pleasant anytime we encountered friendships. May you recall and reflect upon the “good times” shared throughout the years together and reflect upon the your many memories of your gifted time together.
He certainly has fought a difficult battle but despite his adversities, he “kept on going”.
May God Bless you All in the difficult days ahead. RIP Paul.
Sincerely ~ Frank & Grace Dolmage
