Condolence from Gord Moylan on September 12th, 2026 9:20 AM

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.
