Paul was born in Hooglede, Belgium and came to Canada to live in Norfolk County. He spent most of his life farming tobacco with his family. Paul loved to hunt. He enjoyed an annual trip to Peelee Island with his brother Gaston and nephew Gino to pheasant hunt for over 50 years. He loved turkey hunting and deer hunting with his wife Jeanette by his side. He spent some time flying radio control airplanes and loved to share that passion by teaching others how to fly. He loved to build just about anything and enjoyed treating his loved ones to some of his famous food that he loved to cook, from homemade bread to Belgian waffles as well as perch dinners and smoked trout. Paul had a very loving, kind spirit and he will be missed dearly by all who knew him.
Cremation has taken place, and a private family service will follow at his internment at Sacred Heart Cemetery, Langton, ON.
