Journalist. Author. Father. GrandPaul. Born Dec. 14, 1939, in Winnipeg; died March 12, 2023, in North Vancouver, after a stroke; aged 83
. Interested in what other people had to say; interested in the world around him; interested in his childrenBeing interested is a rarer quality than you might think. It was especially rare in the dour, “you-mind-your-own-business, I’ll-mind-mine” Canada, still quite British, into which Paul was born. His parents were immigrants from what is now Ukraine, and he grew up in the wake of three older sisters, in a music-filled house on Winnipeg’s Lansdowne Avenue.
They married in 1963, and Paul took on editing jobs for the Canadian Press. The following year, they took a freighter to England; but Paul’s connections on Fleet Street proved to be fleeting and they returned to Canada. By the time Taras, their son, was born in Toronto in 1966, Paul was on his way to becoming one of the nation’s top freelance writers. The family then moved to British Columbia, where Paul set up a CP bureau; and adopted Lara.
With partner Ron Stern, Paul founded Vancouver Magazine and then moved his family to Alberta for a year to set up city magazines in Calgary and Edmonton. In 1994, Paul and Audrey moved to Bowen Island, B.C., where they continued to write and edit. They co-authored, which remain important collections of Canadian correspondence.
