GRAVELLE, Paul Andre (1945-2022)
It is with deeply broken hearts that we have to find the words to announce that our beloved skipper, captain, husband, father, and dear friend, Paul Gravelle, has endured a sudden shift in winds, and has set sail one final time. Paul’s presence was larger than life he was a gregarious man always welcoming people into his home or on his boat with open arms and a cold beer in hand. He was one of kind and lived his life his way.
Paul was the founder of Gravelle Woodworking Ltd which is now in it is 41st year in Burlington. A true testament of the quality and service he established. He had an amazing eye for kitchen design; he could walk into anyone’s home and have the full concept design done in his head within minutes. Paul loved to take clients on a walk through the shop to see how the kitchens were built from concept to creation. Every client and friend will remember the Gravelle Woodworking Christmas parties. Paul made sure he talked with everyone and no one left hungry or thirsty.
Paul leaves behind his beloved wife of just over 30 years Colleen. He was immensely proud of his son Ben, new daughter in law Shannon and grand puppy Hallie. Brother to Jon (Bonnie), Gail (Nancy), Glen, Sheila (Phil) and many nieces & nephews. He welcomed his surrogate daughter Chantelle (Ryan) into his family and then became Glampa to Ada & Everleigh.
Predeceased by his daughter Tiffany and his parents Andre & Bette Gravell.
