Surrounded by the love of his family, Paul Joseph Meyer died peacefully on Thursday, October 10, 2024, at the age of 80. He was a devoted husband to Kathy (née Kearns) for 50 wonderful years.
Paul was a proud father to Kristin (Kevin) Trotter, Jill (Jeff) Bell, and Dave (Amber Bowles). He took immense joy in being a loving Grandpa to Rachel, Kamille, Cody, Karis, and Kingsley. Paul is survived by his sisters Carolyn (Dallas) Elliott and Anne (Paul) Medema, and by his brother, Jim. He was predeceased by his sister, Mary Cashen.
A graduate of Western University, Paul began his teaching career at St. Joseph’s High School in St. Thomas. He later moved to London, where he continued to teach at Catholic Central, Regina Mundi, and then John Paul II. He was a highly regarded science teacher with a particular fondness for environmental science studies.
While Paul enjoyed a successful career, he always considered his greatest accomplishment to be his unwavering dedication to his family.
Paul had a lifelong passion for nature, a love he nurtured and shared with everyone around him, especially through his enthusiasm for gardening and birdwatching. An avid fisherman, Paul found his greatest joy in retirement casting his line into the Maitland and Thames rivers.
Even after he could no longer play hockey and baseball, Paul found joy in supporting his favourite teams—the Cleveland Guardians and Browns, Toronto Blue Jays and Maple Leafs—always cheering them on with enthusiasm. He also cherished his early morning workouts at the gym, where he maintained both his personal fitness and close friendships with his gym community throughout his lifetime membership.
