Paul Totti

A beautiful celebration of a beautiful life. Thank you to all of Paul's family for including us. Our deepest condolences, Elena, Luca, Maristella and Nemi Bovo

Franca, the deepest condolences from your hopefully not too annoying neighbors. You and Paul will always be family for us. We are here for you, unless we sell the house. (We could have told you from the balcony on the backyard but just in case)

Our deepest condolences to Christine, Gino, Franca, John, Mark, and to all family and friends that miss him. We have been robbed, but the pain for losing you is a testament to your character. This is to you Paul: "We are going to die, and that makes us the lucky ones. Most people are never going to die because they are never going to be born. T...more

I don't have any pictures with Paul, but I have images from his time in Italy of places he and I both experienced in our respective times there. He was one of the first people at Earl of March (outside of the few friends I already knew) that befriended me. He was always kind, funny and warm in our friendship. We are both Italian and in a time when ...more

Although I had met Paul a few times before, the time I remember the most was around Christmas 2 or 3 years ago. He was fighting a bad cold but really wanted to spend time with Franca's Family. He braved the evening with cold pills and wine and we talked small talk, as people do at get togethers. 2 or 3 hours was all it took to list Paul as my fr...more

I always looked forward to talking politics, social issues, etc. with Paul. We would always have some pretty in depth conversations and arguments about various subjects. What I really enjoyed about our time spent together was the back and forth banter. I would get him going on a topic, really worked up, then say something completely offside to try ...more

What a beautiful memorial today. My deepest condolences to Franca, Mark and to Paul’s parents and family. May Paul’s memory be eternal.

Hi Franca, just wanted to let you know what a beautiful celebration of life for what clearly was a wonderful and caring man. Once again from Tony and I our deepest heartfelt condolences.

Paul was a teenager when his family visited us in Florida. He took great pains to dress up in his finest 'punk' clothes and a spiked red hair style. He was ready to explore our neighborhood until Diju informed him in no uncertain terms that he would be arrested if seen on our streets! Paul was disappointed but very good natured and there ensued a w...more

Franca, We have been thinking of you these past weeks. I only had the opportunity to meet and speak with Paul a few times but he left me with an impression of warmth, kindness and a sense of humour. I was so happy you found each other. Our deepest condolences to you- Franca and all of Paul's family and friends. Leigh-Anne & Tom Flynn

My deepest condolences to Franca and familly I only met Paul a few times but he was a person who left an impression on you . I will forever remember his smiling face easy conversations and laughter

What a beautiful celebration of life. Our family along with the Totti's and a few others were a group of families without extended family in Canada that got together for holidays etc. Paul was usually the instigator of whatever shenanigans were going on wherever the "kids" were hanging out. I'm the same age as Mark, so 5 years younger than Paul,...more

To Franca and her family and all of Paul's family and friends, we are very sorry for your great loss. Thank you for inviting us to share in Paul's celebration of life. We were so moved by the stories and photos you all shared. Paul clearly lived a life so many of us aspire to live. He followed his passions and lived freely and on his own terms. ...more

Paul was a dear friend. Our mothers met at the Ottawa Civic Hospital a day or two before we were due—the same day, June 7, 1970. I was born a few hours into June 8. My family was already living on Oakburn Road in Glen Cairn, and a few weeks later, the Tottis moved in across the street, a few doors down. Paul and I liked to say we knew each other be...more

Hi Soren! Would you be up for another bike ride with Julian sometime soon? The weather has finally gotten nice again!
