In the last 10 years or so, Paul truly realized that family was everything.
Because at the end of the day, material items break and go away, however family is there forever

In October 2014, Paul wrote this and posted it on his Facebook page

“This Thanksgiving, I implore everyone to not talk about politics or ideology. Instead focus on the fun times you've had with family. Because my memory is failing, I thought that I would go first.  I remember the interesting stories that Grandpa Hickie would tell.  Grandma Hickie was the heart of the family that would make wonderful food, especially the homemade bread.  Johnny would be the practical joker making everybody laugh.  Linda was a wonderful artist and I applauded her growth when she used black in her paintings. The time that Tom and I took on the riot exercise and were told to stop because we were humiliating the Canadian Forces.

How about the time Barb, I and the children would make a huge batch of egg rolls, yum.  Spending an hour or so brushing Sharon's hair because it was always a mess in the morning. We had wonderful conversations, she was very insightful for being a young person.  I would play dungeons and dragons with Patrick and his friends a lot of weekends, always a good time.  Playing soccer with Melanie.  Her and I would team against all of Patrick's friends.  She could run like the wind.  Kathy would wear my combat boots and say, " You stay home daddy, I'll go to work for you." So sweet.  With Olivia, she wouldn't join soccer unless I was coaching.  Worst job ever, it was like herding cats. She would be with one group picking flowers and the others would be chasing butterflies.  Ethan and I would do more physical things like paintball and airsoft.  Even though I was disabled, I could still win the field.  Ethan remarked how I could hit him between the eyes from 100m (he was wearing goggles and mask).

This are just some of the fun memories, it's up to you to continue them.  Love to all my children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren.”


Paul joined the Canadian Air Forces before he turned 18 and had a very long career which started in CFB Gatgtown, NB where was a truck driver in transport and then he decided in the late 70s that he wanted to get into Computers and he decided to go to university and take the courses on evenings weekends. Once the military found out and his marks were standing mid 90s and above, and because of this he was put through the officer training program in the Canadian Armed Forces, and proceeded to become an aerospace engineer which he enjoyed immensely
After his release from the Canadian Armed Forces, he then became an engineer with Bell Canada until 2019 when he got very sick with non-alcoholic liver disease and needed a liver transplant
Which he got a new lease on life in June 21st 2019. Please fill out your donor cards because without that he would never have survived.
You would think his death was from a failed liver however it was not Paul died of a hernia, of all things it ruptured, most people do not realize that a hernia can kill you and unfortunately, while he was complaining about it, medically he was not being dealt with in the way that it should’ve been the Canadian medical system is atrocious.

Paul was a big kid at heart and loved to play. However he also was very skilled and talented and educated and was an aerospace engineer with many accomplishments and he loved to share his knowledge and skill
As his nephew Will Hickie’s said,
“Paul was a heck of a man.
Motorcycle crashing, ninja sword owning, computer game sharing, engineer extraordinaire.”
