Horrigan, Paul Francis

Jan 27, 2016

November 20, 1954 – January 14, 2016

We are deeply saddened to announce the untimely death of Paul Francis Horrigan, a truly great man, husband, father, brother and friend. An exuberant and kindhearted person, Paul passed on Thursday, January 14, 2016 leaving a family who loved him beyond compare.

Born on November 20, 1954 in Sudbury, Ontario to John Bernard and Lucille (Davy) Horrigan, Paul was the fourth of six children. He was a carpenter and loving family man; an artist and keen birder; a feisty card player, always ready to “push a cue.” Right on!

Paul will be profoundly missed by his wife Gay Couillard of 34 years—affectionately his “girlfriend”—their daughter Emma Jean (Matthew), son Patrick Xavier, and their loyal dog Cedar; his sisters Joanne, Susan, Judy, Jane, and brother David. He is remembered for his storytelling, spirited character, sense of adventure, and love of life. A commemorative tree will be planted in his honour.
