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.
