Judi Switzer

I will miss you Paul. All your antics and entertaining stories. The Top Ten List and so much more. You were an honest and loving person and always had a smile on your face. You loved family and friends and the kids all knew how much you loved them. You were kind and you were sincere and it came through. Your sense of humour is everything you wanted it to be. You were always entertaining and full of fun and ready to travel to see family. Family was your first love. It is what I loved about you. Move on Dear Paul with that smile on your face and continue to travel. I love you.

Dear Judy and family, We are deeply saddened by the sudden loss of our dear cousin Paul. We know that he had a close relationship with you and he valued and appreciated your attention and concern given to him throughout the years. Paul was an intelligent and witty storyteller and we will miss his playful sense of humour. He was also deeply interested in his family roots and we would often share his interesting discoveries about the Singerman family tree. We will always cherish the wonderful memories of family simchas, the wonderful times spent up North in the Laurentians, and more recently, getting together in Florida. We are all living on borrowed time; some long and some short. Dear Paul, your time was too short, and you will be sorely missed.May you rest In Peace . Franceen, Larry and Family

One of the funniest people I ever met; always kibitzing but knew when it was time to be serious. Paul was a loving Dad and always put his family first. May his passing be a blessing to all of you. Sincerely, Frances

The Bonder Family

The Bonder Family was shocked to learn of the untimely death of our dear cousin, Paul. In the mid-30s the Bonder Brothers, our Zaydies, escaped the pogroms in Russia with 24 hours’ notice. They then settled in London, Ont. with their wives and children. They built a beautiful and wonderful family. Having lost his Father, Billy at a young age, Paul, a descendant, was an example of the close knit Bonder family. Paul always made sure to attend family functions such as our annual Hanukkah party. Paul had a great sense of humour and a smile that was contagious. He showed a deep and genuine interest in our kids, his generational cousins and their offsprings. With all his attributes which were many, the one that impressed us the most was his love and devotion to his late Mother, Martha. If there was ever a perfect son, it was Paul Bonder. Paul will be remembered fondly and will be missed by his cousins. May he rest in peace. Cousins Jerome & Rochelle Zwicker, Judy Mintz, Lorne & Miriam Propas, Dr. Darryl & Sharon Bonder, Paul & Wendi Bonder, Joy & Barry Einhorn, and families.

Paul and his mother, Martha have been our next door neighbours for 40 years. We were very shocked at Paul’s passing. He will be missed very much. He was a great neighbour and he watched over our house when we were away. He and Martha shared their stories of their many travels. Our condolences to his many relatives.

We were sad to hear about Paul’s passing. I grew up next to Paul. He was always so friendly. He asked about my children and often came out to say hello to us when we visited. Condolences to his family.

I was very saddened to hear of Paul's sudden passing. As a neighbour on Duncannon I always admired his devotion to his mother Martha. Martha was able to live out her life in her home because she could count on Paul for his love and support. Please accept my deepest condolences.

Your sudden passing was a stark reminder of how short and fragile life is. You were a caring and gentle soul and you will forever put a smile on our faces when we affectionately borrow your saying “come step into my office”. Rest In Peace. May your memory will be for a blessing always.
