To Susanne, Noel, and Family,
I am sorry to hear of Paul’s passing through my brothers Steve and Ken O’Brien. I fondly remember Paul coming to our house on Circular Road to sell tickets and the Newfoundland Herald. He always had a smile on his face. May he rest in peace.

To the Rendell family. My condolences on the passing of Paul. Remember meeting him numerous times at the St. John’s Lions Club Flea Market when he would talk to my father and myself on the door. Such a kind heart. He has gained his wings for sure. Rest easy, Paul. Condolences to the family.

Oh Susanne, my heart is broken for all of the family but most for you. I loved Paul so much and he brightened so many days for me. I will miss his hugs, his kiss on my cheeks, and his charming smile as he said “did you miss me?” Paul made the world brighter.
So sorry for your loss to the Rendells family, I always enjoyed talking to paul when I see him at the st. John’s lions club he is such a wonderful person and gentlemen. Rest in peace,dear Paul
Our sincere condolences to Paul’s family and friends. We both worked at the Vera Perlin Schools, Patrick St & Pennywell Road, so we knew Paul when he was young. He was always polite, kind and helpful. Always with a smile too. I last saw him in 1988 at St Clare’s Hospital when I was visiting my mother. Paul came with his papers and, as I had been living away for more than 12 years then, he hesitated for only a few seconds before that wonderful smile of recognition lit his face. We had a chat, brief but nice. We are glad we had the privilege of knowing Paul and spending time with him for so many years. Rest in peace, dear Paul.
To The Rendell Family

Family
It is with sincere sadness that we learned of Paul’s passing…we were certain he would live forever…(certainly, in many respects, he will)
Such a gentle soul and more ‘aware’ than most of us.
Every time we met he would ask of our family…remembering the many years we spent ‘on our street’. Though we have not seen or spoken to him in recent years, we often have spoken about him and his impact on our perception of life…he was always, and forever, a positive influence and an inspiration.
We had never seen him cross or discouraged; always a smile and a welcoming embrace.
Over the years our ‘old neighbourhood’ had changed but Paul (and Suzanne) were the ‘thread that binds’…giving us the last vestige to our childhood home.
Rest In Peace Dearest Paul.
Your life has been a blessing to all,; your memory, a treasure.
To Noel and family please accept my sincere sympathies on Pauls passing.. It has been many a year since I last saw and spoke to Paul. His kind heart and infectious smile stays with anyone who met him. May he RIP
Susanne, please accept my sincere sympathy on the passing of your brother, keep his memories close to your heart…………Jacqueline (Hillyard) Piercey
Susanne please accept my condolences on the passing of your brother. .
To the Rendell family, sorry to hear of Paul’s passing. We have known Paul ever since Robert and Lorainne moved on Winnipeg Street which was over 50 years ago.. When we got together with the Rendell’s, It was always a delight when Paul was around.
Lin: Although,at a time as this,there is little one can do, I hope it helps in some small way to know that we are thinking of you and the family as you lay your dear brother Paul to rest.
Please accept my sincere condolence to all the Rendell family.. We did enjoy Paul’s pleasing personality at many functions. I am sure he will be sadly missed.
Thinking of you all during this difficult. Lin, Jerry and family my heart is with you. The love that surrounded Paul on his last days will continue to keep him close and your memories shared even closer

To Paul’s family; so sorry to hear of Paul’s passing. Although I have not seen Paul for some time, I do have many memories of Paul and his many visits to the Central Fire Station.

Susanne and Rendell family, So sorry to learn of Paul’s passing.. Our family got to know Paul many years ago when him and my brother Carl LeGrow attended the Vera Perlin School on Patrick Street.

To the Rendell family;
Please accept my condolences on Paul’s passing.
I have known Paul all my life. He grew up on Belvedere St. and I was on Mullock St. Paul was , without doubt, one of the kindest, gentlest people anybody could ever meet. He knew everybody in the neighborhood, maybe in St. John’s, and everybody felt the same way about him. He attended everything that was going on in the City and the wakes of everybody that he knew.
God love him and may he rest in peace.
Please accept my deepest condolences. I enjoyed attending City events with Paul. Thinking of you during this time.
My deepest condolences to Pauls family. When I was a very young girl Paul delivered the telegram to my sisters motherinlaw Mrs O’Brien around the corner on Barnes Rd. I always saw him at the Bascilica. Paul was a lovely young man. I always think of him. May he rest in peace.
I was in shock when my friend messaged me n told me about Paul’s passing. I use to know Paul fr Belvedere Street where my uncle lived n I visited many times
Paul was a gentleman n had that precious smile
Then at our programs he always shook my hand n remembered me . He was well loved by everyone that knew him . . God speed u Paul u will be missed
Susanne and family, deepest condolences on the passing of your dear brother Paul . Susanne your devotion in ensuring the very best quality of life for Paul was exceptional.

Suasanne, Rosalind , Noel and family, I was saddened to learn of Paul’s passing.. I met him some five years ago when we were both participating in the cardiac rehabilitation program. I was struck by his good nature and his outgoing personality. I enjoyed our chats where we both were supporting one another in the healing process. May his gentle soul rest in God’s eternal peace..
Noel, Susanne and all the family, so sorry for your loss. Paul was a great guy, happy and upbeat. How many tickets did he sell in his day for the Celtic Citizen Sweep at Brother Rice High School. People loved to see Paul coming, he was a charmer. Do I remember him selling the Newfoundland Herald as well? It’s safe to say that so many people will miss seeing him around. Your family can take comfort that Paul’s life was well lived.
So sorry to hear of Paul’s passing. It seems like I knew him my entire life. He always remembered me and we would stop for a chat whenever our paths crossed, especially when I owned a business in Churchill Square from 2003 to 2008. Sincere condolences to the Rendell family.
Susanne, Noel and extended family, please accept my heartfelt condolences on the passing of Paul. I remember fondly his quiet and gentle nature, always so pleasant. You may not remember me, but I was your mom’s home care worker for a while. The apple doesn’t fall to far from the tree as she too was a joy to be around. Know that my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family, take care.
Susanne and family, I am sorry to learn of Paul’s passing. I thought of him recently as I drove up Belvedere St. Paul was always so well dressed and cared for. He would drop by our house on McDougall St. selling his tickets. Paul lived a great life and always seemed happy. Susanne you were a wonderful support to Paul..
Rendell family. I am in total shock to read about Paul’s untimely passing. Words are not enough to express to you all how much I thought of Paul and admired his determination to live life his way. I have known Paul for over forty years as he was a fixture around the Churchill Square area. Who could ever forget his million wall smile and his lust for life. This world is a sadder place without Paul in it. Take comfort in knowing that Paul’s gentle soul is now resting with his Mon, Dad and his Savior. Good Speed Paul, you are loved by many. Hugs and Love
