July 21, 1925 – July 28, 2018

Paul went to be with the Lord on the evening of July 28, in Kamloops, BC, a week after his

93rd birthday.

Born in Simpele, Finland, Paul (Pappa) is remembered by his loving wife, Hilkka, his

daughters Eija Cryderman (Brent ), Eila Jaksa (John) , and stepdaughter, Rita Holzer.

Also remembering him with love are his grandchildren Ken (Kailey) Cryderman, Eric (Jen)

Cryderman, and Hannah Jaksa. His great grandchildren, Adrianna, Jace, Keagan and Emma will have wonderful memories of their Pappa as well. They were the light in his eyes, and kept him young.

Paul was predeceased by his first wife, Helvi in 1992 and his son Eric in 2007.

He was well thought of by many, as a man with a good sense of humour and a smile on his

face. He started in Canada as a logger on the Queen Charlotte Islands before moving on to have a

very rewarding career with Alcan in Kitimat, BC, where his family was raised.

He and Helvi moved to Quesnel after his retirement in 1985. After her passing, he

reconnected with a family friend , Hilkka, who was a widow. They married and had 25

wonderful years together before his death.

Paul  loved camping, fishing, gardening, music and was a dedicated member of his churches in

Kitimat, Quesnel and Kamloops.

A Memorial Service will be held at 1:00 pm on Saturday, August 4, 2018 in the Lord of Life Lutheran Church, 2481 Sunset Dr, Kamloops. Tea and coffee to follow in the church hall.

His request was to have no flowers, but please feel free to make a donation to the church or to

the charity of your choice, in Paul’s honour.

He was born in Beardmore Ontario where he was raised with his 9 brothers and 3 sisters. He went to College in Thunder Bay where he met the love of his life Lorraine whose family became his own.

He has three children Aley, Kyle, and Yvonne, two son in-laws Scott, and Brian, and 5 grandchildren Presley, Pearson, Peyton, Halle and Emerson who all loved to play with their grandpa.

Charly’s joyous spirit is eternal, he stopped on his journey to meet us, love us, and share his vibrant and positive presence. He enriched everyone’s lives with kindness, laughter and humorous story-telling. He will continue to be with us everyday.

Charly had a sparkle in his eye and loved life, he was always happy and smiling. His positive and giving personality was infectious. He loved to spend time with his family and be outdoors. Hunting with his brothers, son and nephews was very special to him.

We find comfort knowing that he was met in heaven by his son Kyle.

A final thank you to the many family and friends that have been by our side the last couple of years as Dad’s health started to decline.  A special thank you to Dr. Kip, Dr. Prystawa, Dr. Hamilton, Dr. Inegbedion and the staff at Trinity Lane for your compassionate care.

Our family requests your continued prayer for Dad as we believe continued prayer helps the soul to reach its final destination in Heaven.

 Dad, you fought a long hard battle and you are now free to reap the rewards that heaven has to offer you.  Rest peacefully Dad.  We love and miss you.
