Words cannot express the sorrow of learning of Pauls passing. HE had a style all his own, and will be sorely missed. Remember the good times, they will see you through. I have so many good memories, I’ll never run out.

Condolence from Gord Moon on January 13th, 2016 6:02 PM

My condolences to Mary, Derek and the whole Dykeman clan. I have many memories of fishing and hunting trips that I was lucky enough to be included in due to Paul’s generosity. I think in my early teens I spent as much time in Paul and Mary’s home as I did my own and those years are a part of who I am today.
Our thoughts are with you all.

Condolence from Pete & Pat Van Geleuken on January 14th, 2016 5:24 AM

So very sad to hear of Paul’s passing.
Paul touched my life (Pat) when I was a volunteer for Sunshine Foundation and when he told me his very personal reason why the Lucan Lions were so generous in their donations to this organization. One of my treasured memories was when Paul and I delivered a Sunshine dream to a young woman recovering from cancer: her first year of college tuition. Paul was truly a kind man & a great & dedicated Lion’s club member.
Please accept our deepest condolences to Mary & the Dykeman family.

Mary and Family,

My sincere condolences on Paul’s passing. He has certainly left a legacy in Lucan… he was an inspiration to all with his commitment to everything he was involved in.

As Arena Manager, he greeted us many an early morning for a lot of years when my daughter’s Precision team had their morning skating practices.

Lucan Fair days bring back great memories as well – life on Water Street would pick up in those days when Paul was involved with the fair.

May your memories help you move forward in the days to come …
