Passed away from health complications on the morning of August 29, 2024. Born in Toronto, Ontario on October 16, 1953, he grew up in Mississauga, playing hockey, swimming, and beginning lifelong friendships. He attended Erindale Secondary School before completing a Bachelors of Science in Electrical Engineering at the University of Toronto in 1976 and beginning his career.

On May 14, 1977, he married Dora Hysinger with whom he spent 43 years and had three daughters: Elaine (David), Stephanie (Charles), and Karen (Jean-Philippe). He is survived by his daughters, brother David, mother Gladys, and grandchildren James and Olivia. He is preceded in death by his wife Dora and by his father Ron.

Paul will be remembered for his kindness, sense of humour, and hardworking nature. He was a generous and devoted husband, father, and grandfather, an avid traveller, a sports fan, a classic rock enthusiast, and a movie lover.

Paul’s career allowed him to travel to different places, including for IEEE Conferences every Spring, a year mostly spent in Birmingham, Alabama, and trips to Morocco. His personal travels in recent years included cruises in the Baltic Sea, Caribbean, Mediterranean, and Southeast Asia, and he had talked of doing a world cruise.

Paul had transitioned to part-time work and planned to retire in October 2024. He was looking forward to many more trips and to spending more time with family and friends. He will be dearly missed.
