Obituary of Paul London Gee

Paul London Gee August 24, 1932 – January 10, 2015 It is with great sadness we announce the passing of Paul London Gee. Peacefully with family by his side at Ross Memorial Hospital on Saturday, January 10, 2015, at the age of 82. Loving husband of Barbara for 61 years. Beloved father of Douglas (Elaine) Gee, Gary (Lori Ann) Gee, Paula (David) Bamford. Doting grandfather of Cara, Jason and Trevor. Brother of Wayne (Kaye) Gee, Lyle (Ruth) Gee and Joan (Richard) Lister. Fondly remembered by numerous nieces, nephews and friends. Predeceased by his parents Julia London and Walter Gee, and brothers Karl, Dale and Allard. Paul was born in New Brunswick August 24, 1932. Graduated Bath High School at 15 years old and came to Toronto on his own at 16. In 1948 he was awarded the King’s Award for Marksmanship. Soon thereafter he met the love of his life, married Barb in 1953, and began their life together. Paul was a licensed Hoisting Engineer and worked in that field for many years in Toronto. He bought a resort in Bobcaygeon and moved his family there in 1974, and started the family business, D&G Excavating, that same year. Paul enjoyed many years of playing guitars, fiddles and singing at gatherings with friends and family. He was an amazing father who did everything for and with his kids. Grandpa also supported his grandchildren with great pride. Attended all Cara’s public speaking competitions, he not only sponsored but attended Jason’s baseball, and he never missed any of Trevor’s hockey games. He even made it to every practice! Paul will be fondly remembered as a hardworking, kind-hearted, giving, caring, true gentleman who was always there to help others, and for his great and undeniable love of his family.
