Even though this branch of the Hunt's was so far away (in Georgia), our precious Uncle Paul made an effort to connect with us. He would call my sister, Trina, just to laugh at her southern drawl, and nearly kept my husband, daughter Deanna, and me hostage once when I was pregnant with my second child and came to say goodbye to Grandma. He just didn't want us to leave. Several years ago, when Don and I took all the kids "home" to Alberta, Uncle Paul spent hours walking the woods with us and recounting stories. The boys sat enraptured when he talked about hunting or auto mechanics. He took us to a stampede, gave the boys a black Stetson to share, and gave Deanna money to buy a girls' cowboy hat. When she graduated high school, she wore that hat in a photo shoot in honor of her Great Uncle Paul. A few years after that, she returned to Alberta alone to attend Cousin Tasha Schultz's wedding and made her way to High Prairie, my mother's hometown. Uncle Paul and Cynthia drove down from Wanham to spend the day with her in High Prairie, a difficult physical challenge for him. We'll always remember his laugh, that twinkle Lila spoke of, and his effort to connect with our family, even though we were so far away. Fritz, Lorelei, and Ducky, as well as your children and grandchildren, we love you very much. And we love, cherish, and will greatly miss our Uncle Paul! He will live on in precious memories.

We are saddened to learn of Uncle Paul's passing. We are so sorry for your loss. We will miss his phone calls where we would chat about the garden or canning. I was always tickled when he would share a no nonsense tidbit of wisdom. I'll remember him with his great sense of humor and take no prisoner wit. Just thinking about it, I can see the twinkle in his eye when he had the better of you in a joke. One of the Hunt family traits is resiliency. I hope this trait will shoulder you as you mourn. Love, Carlene & Randy Lake

sorry I'm late in sending our sympathy in Paul's passing .Cynthia and family I'msure that Paul will be missed by all who knew him.

Sorry to hear about Paul passing away. I will never forget the once in a lifetime holiday we shared with Paul and Bea November-December 1979 to Hawaii, Fiji, Australia, New Zealand, American Samoa. Many, many great memories and sights. Will miss you my friend. Joseph Sask Grande Prairie

Please accept our deepest sympathy. Our thoughts and prayers go out to you as you mourn Paul. He will leave a special place in your hearts. Sincerely, Henry & Judy Schuurman

Our sympathy goes out to Cynthia, and all of Paul's family on his passing. We have spent many good times together over the years. God bless you all. Love Woody and Marie.

He was a strong man, we will miss you grandpa. I remember spending many weekends in the shop with you as kids and chubby little shitzu ❤️

My dear, sweet uncle Paul. He always had a big beautiful smile on his face and wasn't shy about telling a funny (inappropriate) joke. He raised some of the best human beings I know. He was a hard worker and a vivid story teller. I could listen to him talk all day long. Love and light to the family. Love you so much and will miss you terribly. Give Grama and all the relatives we've lost, a hug.

So sorry to hear of Paul's passing. He was a great neighbour and friend for many years. Our sincere condolences to all Paul's family and friends. Dennis and Brenda
