We are so sorry for your loss. I only really met Paul a year ago when he came to Belize with us although I knew of him through school years earlier. Mike had known him for years. It was wonderful having him join us on that trip and another one later. We are very sorry we are unable to attend his Celebration of Life as we are in Belize now and miss him immensely – we have his picture with us and many fond memories.

Wishing you peace to bring comfort, courage to face the days ahead and loving memories to forever hold in your hearts. May you be comforted by the outpouring of love surrounding you.

Dear Shirley, Darryl, Lisa and spouses, Carla, Mason, and Blayne, and all the Pynn grandchildren and great grandchildren.
We were so sorry to hear of Paul’s passing. I know it has been hard on all the family to see him slipping away. Paul had such a sense of humour, of adventure and loved all sports- he will be missed by so many people around the world. Ed and I would like to fly to BC for the memorial service but we simply aren’t able to. Y’all are in our thoughts and prayers. God be with you.
love Ed and Barbara
Please accept my deepest sympathies for Paul’s passing. I went to elementary school at Oaklands with Paul and have many good memories of him. He was one of the nicest people I knew. Although I did not keep in touch with him afterwards, I know that he stayed true to his potential and personality. There are many people who will miss him and think of him – myself included. Bless you, Paul.
Dear Shirley, Lisa and family,

Bless your soul my friend. Prayers for you and your loving family. May you rest in peace…
I had the great pleasure of spending quality time with Pynner over the years..when he played with us on the Victoria Payless and the Victoria Shamrocks
And I also had a great conversation with Paul not long ago ….
and I’m so glad we did.
I will miss you Bud.

1979 – Paul and I graduated together from high school. Only a few months before, I had lost my best friend to a car accident. I will always remember, and be thankful to, Paul, for helping me deal with one of the biggest losses of my life. He always checked in with me, made me laugh, and helped me in more ways than I can say. At our last grad reunion, I was fortunate enough to tell Paul how much his kindness touched me not knowing he was dealing with health issues.
Paul will be another bright star shining down on the ones he loves.
My thoughts are with his family and loved ones.
Sorry to hear of Paul’s passing. A student who had great athletic ability. Knowing most of the Pynn family I know that Daryl will look after Shirley. I hope you Daryl and your family are doing fine.
My thoughts are with you and mum!!
Deepest condolences
