Trotters at the gate and they’re off, Matthews is first off the post and stays there, for this is his last race. As they come into the final turn, he is 12 lengths ahead of the pack, it is Matthews for the win. So, Dad, come to the Winner’s Circle for your last bow with Monk as your groom, and your parents Earl and Dorothy standing proudly at your side.
Paul died peacefully after a brief illness at Margaret’s Place Hospice on Friday June 7, 2024. Paul had a long, successful career in Standardbred Harness Racing. He was a consistent winner at Flamboro Downs, once completing 5 wins in one night on a 10-card race night. While he raced all over Ontario, he was most proud to be invited to participate in the Invitational Roosevelt International World Championship driving Jet Sky in August 1979, at the Roosevelt Raceway NY. In 1985, he drove Nobility Way for fastest Trot of 1:59,2.
Born in England with his twin sister Elaine in1942, he came to Canada as a toddler, first settling in PEI, he attended a one room schoolhouse in Baltic. Later his family came to Ontario and settled in the Hamilton area. He raised his family with MaryLou in Dundas.
Predeceased by his parents Dorothy and Earl Matthews, and son Paul (aka Monk). The loved father of Wendy Matthews. Grandfather to Ashley Monahan (Dale), Paul David Monahan, and Misty Matthews-Roper (Bryan). Great-grandfather to Drake, Hendricks, Avery, and Dawson. Beloved sister to his twin Elaine Jensen, and brother Mark (Tracey). He had many cousins in PEI and UK. Uncle to many nephews and nieces. Will be lovingly missed by his companion Brenda Lankelis. A friend to everyone he met, he will be missed.
Special thanks to staff at St. Joseph’s Hospital Hamilton (ER, 5 MG, 2ALC, 5 CC), and Margaret’s Place Hospice. Heartfelt thank you to Dr. Anne Boyle for all her care and getting the brandy sorted out.
As per his wishes cremation has taken place and no service will be held. Wendy asks for two things, one in lieu of flowers, please make a donation to Margaret’s Place Hospice to support ongoing care, and second to leave a favorite memory or story of Paul for her to remember him by. Finally, remember you were pretty sure of a win if you bet on the driver wearing Red and Black.
