Paul Aldège Martin, 64, on September 24th, Ottawa.

A kind and loving man has started his souls journey to the next adventure. Paul will be forever deeply loved by his wife Nancy, son Phil (Katherine) granddaughters Hailie and Kayla and son Luc (Melissa) grandsons Noah and Thomas. He was loved by his step daughters, Olivia Sullivan (Marcus) and Alanna Yaraskavitch, his brother Richard, sister Suzanne Roy (Denis), sister Sylvie, brother Jacques (Sylvie) and sister-in-laws Nicole and Louise. He was a loving uncle to many nieces and nephews and by his aunt Pierrette. He leaves his faithful furry friend Buddy Holly and many very special lifelong and new friends and neighbours behind. Paul was predeceased by his parents Simone and Aldège and beloved brothers Denis and Jean-Luc.

He was former owner of Martin Trophies and had worked as a lineman and repair technician for Bell. He was a favourite teammate on many hockey ( Navan Grads), baseball and curling teams and a fair referee. Paul loved babies, puppies, monkeys, the Red Sox, Bruins and Patriots and ice cream. He loved to travel to Fenway and play in the Atlantic waves in the Caribbean. He was generous and kind. He hated how Alzheimer’s robbed him of more time with all of these loves.  Family and friends are invited to a visitation at Beechwood, Funeral, Cemetery and Cremation Services (280 Beechwood Ave.) on Monday, September 30th, 2019 from 10am to 12noon, followed by the memorial service. To honour Paul, he insists that you wear your favourite sports jersey in lieu of usual memorial attire. If inclined, please consider a donation to Jumpstart, to ensure kids in need have equal access to sports and physical activity.

Nous avons le regret de vous annoncer le décès de Paul Martin survenu le mardi 24 septembre 2019, à l’âge de 64 ans. Homme d’amour et de grande bonté, il vient d’entreprendre son dernier voyage.  Outre son épouse bien aimée Nancy, il laisse dans le deuil ses fils Philippe (Katherine) et Luc (Mélissa) ainsi que ses petits-enfants Hailie, Kayla, Noah et Thomas.  Il laisse également ses belles-filles Olivia Sullivan (Marcus) et Alanna Yaraskavitch.  Paul était le frère bien aimé de Richard, Suzanne (Denis), Sylvie, Jacques (Sylvie) et le beau-frère de Nicole et de Louise.  Il sera regretté par ses neveux, ses nièces, sa tante Pierrette ainsi que par plusieurs amis et voisins, sans oublier son fidèle petit chien Buddy Holly.  PauI fut précédé par ses parents Simone Labelle et Aldège Martin ainsi que par ses chers frères Denis et Jean-Luc. 

Anciennement propriétaire de l’entreprise Trophées Martin, Paul a également travaillé chez Bell Canada.  Grand sportif, Paul était un joueur d’équipe bien apprécié au hockey (“Navan Grads“), au baseball et au curling, de même qu’un excellent arbitre.  Il aimait tout ce que la vie lui apportait :  son entourage, les animaux, les équipes sportives, la bonne nourriture et  surtout la crème glacée.  Ses voyages, surtout au “Fenway Park“ à Boston et dans les Caraïbes l’ont comblé de bonheur.  Aussi bon et généreux fut-il, il en voulait terriblement à la maladie d’Alzheimer qui le privait des plaisirs de la vie. 

Dans la mesure du possible et tel que désiré par Paul, il serait apprécié de porter un jersey sportif en sa mémoire lors de la célébration de sa vie. 

Vos marques de sympathie peuvent se traduire par un don à la ‘Fondation Bon départ’ qui vient en aide aux enfants dans le besoin en leur offrant un accès égal aux activités sportives et physiques.

La famille recevra parents et amis au cimetière Beechwood, 280 avenue Beechwood,  à Vanier, lundi, le 30 septembre 2019  à compter de 10 h.  Une célébration de sa vie aura lieu à midi au même endroit.

Sincere condolences Nancy
May God carry Paul in the palm of his hands along with a playable hockey stick and a Bruins sweater. Adieu Paul, mon ami; bonne chance et bonne voyage!
