My sincere condolences to Paul's family. I just heard the shocking news today (Dec. 30), and it still has not sunk in. I have known Paul for several years, since we met at Ryerson Poly Technic Institute. I knew him to be a kind, forgiving and gentle man. Rest in Peace Paul! Wayne

To the Desjardins Family - Paul was a close friend during our high school years at HSS. While we lost touch, as many do, after high school, I thought of him often and wondered how he was doing - he was a kind, warm, and caring friend. My deepest sympathy to your family.

To the DesJardins family- I am so very sorry for your loss. I am an F/A colleague of Paul's from Wardair and was saddened by the news of his passing. Maya Angelou probably put it best when she said "I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel"...and Paul made everyone feel accepted. He was a gentle soul with a beautiful spirit, and that is how I will remember him. My thoughts and prayers are with you. May he rest in peace.

To the Desjardins family,
I am very sad to hear of Paul's passing. Paul and I were hired at Wardair at the same time in 1981. We flew together a lot in the 5 years I worked in Toronto. We had great times working side by side as crew members. His positive spirit was infectious. We were on crews to Europe and the Caribbean. Paul and I always enjoyed spending time together on layovers.
My wife Jane and I had a nice dinner and visit with Paul the last time we were in Toronto about 5 years ago. It just won't be the same visiting Toronto without seeing Paul.
My sincere condolences,
Norm Flockhart
Vancouver, B.C.
