Maria and family-sorry and saddened to learn of Paul’s passing. We joined the Force at the same time (1970) and resided together in Rexdale for a period of time while posted to 5 District. We have kept in touch for the past 54 years and I have fond memories of times spent over the years which I shared with him a few weeks ago. A loss of a dear friend.

Our hearts go out to Maria and families with the passing of our friend we met
thru pickleball, we send our sincere condolences.
RIP Paul

My sincere sympathies to Maria and family in the recent loss of your husband and father, Paul. We worked together in Guelph for several years.

I worked with Paul at Guelph Detachment of the OPP in the 80’s and 90’s eventually as his shift Sergeant. Paul could always be relied on to boost the shifts stats for speeders and seat belt violators. He loved riding the Harley and enjoyed being part of the Golden Helmets. Rest in Peace brother.

Sending caring thoughts of sympathy to Maria and families as you grieve the loss of Paul. We always enjoyed his pleasant disposition, his interesting stories and his willingness to help wherever needed. He will be missed at church and in the community but his spirit will remain through the many memories left behind. May memories of happy times spent with Paul help all of you through these difficult days and months ahead.

Maria and family, you have my condolences on the death of Paul. We worked together at Downsview Detachment during the 1970’s and were room mates for my 5 years on the Golden Helmets when we travelled the Province. We and our brothers in the OPP had so much fun, laughter and excitement together during those years on the ride. Paul had a unique laugh. I have often thought of my old room mate in the last number of years as so many of our comrades have passed away. May you cherish all your good memories with Paul and your Family
Paul Junop

My Dear friend and Bro. Love you and Maria to bits. My heart is broken, but I know you rest in peace. Maria, a new journey will begin. Please know I am here for you.

Thinking of you at this sad time Maria.

Treasure your memories and keep them close to your hearts aways. Paul was my godfather, small world Monica.💕
My deepest condolences.

My condolences on the loss of a great person gone to the great motorcycle ride in the sky

Dad I love you and you are my hero

Thank you all for your kind words

We are so sorry for your loss. He was such a great neighbour. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Dear Maria and family,
Please accept our sincere condolences on the loss of your husband and father.
We had the privilege of meeting and getting to know Paul through pickleball. He always had that look of innocence mixed with mischievousness when he would spin the ball or hit it past us. He was always fun to play! We also had great chats. They revealed his pride in his family and his life experiences. He was a gentle soul and will be greatly missed. Bob and Linda Kistner

Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Paul was a dear man and will be missed.

Maria, such shock to hear of Paul s passing!!! Such a warm and friendly soul. We met many years ago when you first moved to town and needed help with the flower beds but every time we d happened to cross paths, Paul always stopped for a visit to catch up. Truly saddened to read this. Hugs to you Maria and family

Maria and Family, our hearts are with you as you say goodbye to Paul for the last time. Wish we could have been there for the service but were not able to get there because of the distance. You know how much he meant to Wayne and I. Even though he is gone from this earth, he lives on in our hearts and will always be remembered as one of the best friends we could ask for.
We send our deepest sympathy to all of you with warm hugs and LOVE!
RIP Paul Nestman!

Maria and Family,

I want to extend my heartfelt condolences to you and your family during this profoundly difficult time. The loss of Paul is a deep sorrow that resonates with all who knew him. He was not only a great friend but also a remarkable individual whose kindness, honesty, and compassion left an indelible mark on everyone he encountered.

Paul had a unique ability to brighten the lives of those around him. His genuine warmth and unwavering support were a source of comfort to many, and his presence will be sorely missed in our lives. As we remember him, let us hold on to the cherished memories we shared—the laughter, the conversations, and the moments of joy that defined our time together.

May these memories provide you with solace and peace in the days ahead. It is in these moments that we can find the strength to honour his legacy and carry his spirit with us.

With deepest sympathy,

My family spent a lot of time with Paul and his family during the 80’s, 90’s and the early 2000s. Paul was my brothers godfather. He always had a smile, and always assisted my dad whenever he required a partner for whatever project he was building. I was shocked to hear the news of his passing, but will always cherish the memories that I hold

Maria and families,
Just heard of Paul’s passing and want to let you know how sorry I am to learn this news. Always positive, always a smile …I remember your wedding at the golf course and I am so so sad at this news.

Oh Maria, we were so deeply saddened by this news. Paul was just such a great fellow, always so friendly, outgoing and welcoming.
Jackie remembers the first time that she met you both at the prep for the turkey dinner while preparing the dressing at the church. Paul hollered over “there’s a seat right here”. Paul will be deeply missed not only around your family’s table but also around the church’s table as well.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this difficult time. May the love of God and His peace surround you in easing your grief.
Please, know that you are loved by many.
