    ______________________________



    "He [Oliver Edwin Voisin - Brother Paul] was my wife's, and my, best friend for a decade.

    He was well-known in Victoria, BC as the man who jogged the streets, dressed in his Franciscan Monk garb .. a huge flowing robe with his head covered by its hood. (I think he frightened the wits out of more than just a few folks, him running by them at night.)

    Oliver (Brother Paul) was a RC religion tranditionalist, who slept on the Friary bare floor and used a phone book as his pillow. He was faith disciplined but loved to laugh heartily. He loved people and their stories. And everybody who knew him, loved him.

    His favourite saying was: "It's all about the love."

    He felt it his role's sole mission was: "to get people thinking about God."

    BP's one weakness was for ice cream, .. he'd sneak alone into the Friary kitchen in the very early hours of the day and sneak a few spoonfuls. Well, maybe more than just a few.

    We loved this man. And always will. We were honored to be his friends.

    STORY:

    On one occasion, when I travelled east for business, I made a point of renting a car and going to St. Clemens and north to the Boomer Line concession road, where the Voisin family lived and and where Oliver (Brother Paul) was born.

    I visited the farm and I spoke at length with the Mennonite family who live there currently.

    I also spent some time with his parents, at their resting place in the St. Clements cemetery. Brother Paul had not been back to Ontario since the mid-seventies, so I was thrilled and excited to return home to Victoria and tell him of my memorable visits.

    He listened carefully. And when I had finished, he turned and quietly said to me: "Darrell, sentimentality is a wonderful thing. But we should never act upon it."

    Voila.

    Oliver found his religion, following events of WW2 when they, as paratroopers, landed near Caen, France hours before the D-Day landing. They landed scattered and somehow, accomplished their crucial mission to distract and hold the Nazis at bay and from reinforcing Normandy.

    A young Nazi lad shot Bro Paul at point blank range. But somehow, the bullet missed him and killed the paratrooper behind him.

    That was the day he chose God and decided to serve Him. (He said he was too stupid to be accepted into the Trappist faith [ha]).

    So after the war he became a Franciscan, his initial years spent in Trail, BC before transferring to Victoria, where the climate was better for his MS health issues.

    On the day of his funeral, I drove to Wroxeter [near Wingham] and met his sister, Rita. We had a lovely visit and we now remain in touch on a frequent basis. I have also visited with his sister Mary and met his nieces, Marilyn and Charlene. Wonderful folks.

    Do note, that his family had not seen Oliver since the mid-seventies. So their stories to me were of his youthful times, and in turn, my stories to them were about this great person and friend, during the later years of his wonderful life. Enthrallingly ethereal perspectives, shared.

    So, there you have it.

    Our warmest regards, darrell & claire
