PAUL KEAN June 15, 1929 - June 19, 2015. It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Paul Kean on June 19, 2015, in Montreal. Paul died peacefully at the age of 86 years and 4 days. At his side for Father's Day were his devoted and loving wife Susan and children, Ronny and Dana. He was a hero, provider and role model to his children who attribute their life skills and success to the wisdom he imparted. Extremely clever, witty, strong-willed and big-hearted, his was a life well lived. Born June 15, 1929, in Budapest, Hungary, he was a tough as nails, pessimistic, self-made and self taught, European immigrant holocaust survivor. Admired and respected as a world travelling, street smart entrepreneur who was fluent in 7 languages. He always imparted kindness, wisdom, and his vast life experiences to others, including his daughter-in-law Nicki and grandchildren Lauren and Evan who adored him. He set the bar high, leaving us to follow in his sizeable Hungarian footsteps. We are grateful to all who share our sense of loss at this time as we wish him bon voyage on his next great adventure. The funeral will take place on Sunday June 21 at 3pm at Papermans, 3888 Jean Talon St. W., followed by burial at the Baron De Hirsch cemetery at 5015 De La Savane, Montreal. Shiva will be held at his home from 12-2pm and 6:00-9PM. |
