Paul Gibbens
Passed away peacefully, surrounded by his loving family at Lakeridge Health Oshawa on Tuesday, January 16, 2024, in his 79th year. He will be dearly missed by Carol, his loving wife of 56 years and their daughters Lesley (Mark), Leanne (T.J.) and Laura (Jay). He was cherished by his grandchildren Sarah, Conner, Nicholas, Katie, Ava, and Meadow.
Paul was predeceased by his parents James and Mary Gibbens. He was the youngest of his 10 siblings: Helen (Leo), William (Laura), Margaret (Bruce), Vince (Eileen), Elizabeth Ann, Michael, James (Joan), Nancy (Roy), Patricia (Peter) and Catherine (Bob). Paul will be greatly missed by his brother-in-law, James (Gail), his many nieces, nephews, friends, and colleagues.
Paul retired from Nurse Chevrolet Cadillac Ltd. in Whitby as the General Manager after over 30 years of service. He was an acclaimed athlete and all-around sports fan. He played for the Oshawa Generals, the Oshawa Tony’s and was a member of the Oshawa Golf Club for several years. He made many wonderful memories with family at Kennisis Lake and on the Florida Gulf Coast. His thirst for knowledge and love of history led him on many vacations throughout America and Europe. Paul was an avid reader, lover of music, cards, and trivia. He was always busy with projects big and small, for himself or lending a hand to others.
His family would like to thank their many friends and family members, the nursing staff and the support teams at Lakeridge Health who helped during his struggle with Parkinson’s and during his recent stay in the hospital.
