HUDSPITH, Paul - Husband and father, died Friday August 13, 2021, peacefully at his home surrounded by his family.
Paul Hudspith was born in 1966 in Toronto, Ontario, to parents John and Sue Hudspith, and brother to Eric Husdspith.
He graduated from the University of Waterloo as a Civil Engineer in 1990, where he met his wife Francine St-Denis. They met in fourth year and it was love at first sight. They were married two years later.
They have been inseparable since the beginning, and have gone on endless adventures together.
They embarked on a year long caribbean sailing trip a year after they met, and continued to travel the world together while raising 2 kids.
Even with a distinguished career and hobbies, the most important thing to Paul was his family. His two children, Danielle and Cameron, have endless memories playing with him outside, running around downstairs, or playing made up games with their dad.
He was a member of the PASKKE String Quartet, principal cellist of the York Symphony Orchestra, and occasionally played for the Mississauga Symphony Orchestra. He passed his love for music to his family by making music a big part of their home and lives growing up.
In July 2018, Paul was diagnosed with Glioblastoma. Even in the face of this life changing diagnosis, he remained positive and grateful for his life. Paul was committed to medical research and was willing to be one of the first participants in a world-first trial at Sunnybrook. Although it placed real demands on him physically and emotionally, he never shied away from it.
Paul has touched and impacted so many lives in every aspect of his life. He was caring, thoughtful, loving and will be missed dearly.
Due to COVID restrictions, a small private funeral service will be held on Sunday August 29th, 2021 at 3pm. A Celebration of Life for ALL who wish to attend will be held in King City, Ontario on Saturday August 28th. Time TBA.
