Condolences
Dear Joyce, Carrie, Barrie and families,
I would like to extend my sympathy on Paul's passing. He was an important member of the Banff Community in the years you spent here. He will be missed by many.

Paul was such a special friend to so many of us. He was one of our devoted and enthusiastic model railway compatriots, but for me so much more. For many years he, Joyce and I were regulars at Sir Winston Churchill Pool for our regular aqua-size classes and coffee sessions. He was my Weight Watchers buddy, despite the fact he didn't need to lose much weight. He was there to be supportive! Paul was in many ways like an older brother. His knowledge of home design and maintenance was incredible. His home inspection skills were manifested in his regular contributions to his association's newsletters and were a wealth of great advice to his home inspection peers and homeowners in general. His advice on which improvements provided the best value for home sale enhancement were accurate and reasoned. Their own home improvements reflected this knowledge. He knew his business and willing shared his ideas. During his years working in Banff with the National Park Service he developed an interest in geology and history. He spoke often and accurately about the geological and human history of the Park. Paul had an altruistic nature and volunteered at the airport with the White Hatters and the Calgary Military Museum. This was just an extension of his proud involvement with the Canadian Army Reserves.
Rest in Peace my friend!
Greg and Judy
What a joy and honour to know Paul and his passion for our hobby of model trains. All the very best to Joyce and family during these sad days.
Deepest sympathies to all the family. Had many fun visits with Paul and Joyce. We used to visit back and forth nearly every Friday night for many years. Helped him couple times on home inspections. He loved showing his .Odell train set up. So sorry for the loss of a good friend of 50ish years.
Dear Joyce and family,
It was an honour to know Paul in his role as a White Hat Volunteer. We always enjoyed talking with Paul about his history but as we see from his obituary there was a whole lot more that we didn't know. He was a wonderful volunteer and great support for me in my role as manager.
May all the wonderful memories you shared together continue to warm your hearts in the days and years to come.
Hugs from Brian and Debbie Stahl
