Son of Luka and Christina. Devoted husband of 59 years to the late Romana. Loving father to Dmytro (Elizabeth) and Oleh (Wendy). Brother of Luba (late Fedir) Kosteniuk and the late Peter.
Paul and his family immigrated to Canada from Ukraine in the early 1950s. Here, he met Romana and together they had a family and built a successful business (Johns TV).
Paul was an avid athlete all his life. Through his involvement in the volleyball community, first as a player, and then as a coach he mentored generations of young men and women.
Paul was a man of honesty and integrity. He will be sorely missed by all who knew him.
