Paul was a man of faith and a true friend. He walked the walk and talked the talk.
He will be sorely missed by everyone he knew but especially those from St. Paul’s Vaughan. How fitting the last church he served was St. Paul’s.
My love to Deanne and all the family. May your memories hold you strong.

Rev. Deb, and family, there are no words that will ever explain the sorrow and pain your family will be feeling right now. Believe that your Father, Husband, Grandfather is with our Lord and is now at peace.
Hold his memories in your hearts and he will be with you forever more.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Deepest condolences to Stuart and your family on the loss of your dad. Condolences to your family. Adriana Giordano and Heavenly Gino.

Dear Deb, Stuart and Kim and the children
My heart goes out to you all at this very sad time.
You all have wonderful memories of your special times with Dad. Those will remain with you forever.
All my love and prayers. Aunt Rose.

Paul was a 2nd dad to me. I grew up with the Stanbury family when my family wasn’t ideal. I’ll never forget webber and cottages, taking me golfing for the first time ever. First ball Paul yelled four!!! You will be missed.

Paul was a kind and considerate gentleman and neighbour and I will miss running next door to give him his cinnamon buns and carrot cake which he loved. My thoughts and love go out to Deanne at this most difficult time.

I offer condolence to Donald, James, and Paul’s other family members. Although I did not know him as an adult, I did grow up on the same road and remember him as a very fine young man. Rest in peace.

Stuart

I am so sorry to hear of the passing of your father. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this difficult time.
The Social Committee has made a donation in your Father’s memory to the Presbyterian Church in Canada.

To the Stanbury Family. I was very saddened to hear of Mr. Stanbury’s passing. I was a student at Emery C.I. , class of ’73. Mr Stanbury was a true gentleman and a great teacher. My thoughts and prayers are with Mr. Stanbury and his family. Angelo Sperduti, Bolton, Ont.

So sorry for your loss, Deanne. Condolences to all the family.

Rev. Deb and family, I wish you love while grieving your loss. My thoughts are with you during this difficult time.

Was JUST thinking of Paul on a bus ride on the Yonge Street Viva bus last night.
One of those “nudges” perhaps. Thankful to have connected over the years in so many ways, MOST connected to the Presbyterian Church, not all!
Prayers for the families and all of those lives he affected over the years.

I remember meeting Paul at the University of Western Ontario where he was a member of the Westminster Club on campus. We connected and I very much enjoyed his company. Many years later I met Paul at a General Assembly and became re-acquainted. Then shortly after that met him again at Richmond Hill while I was minister at St. Andrew’s Newmarket.
My condolences to Paul’s family and extended family.

My sincere condolences to Deanne and all the family for the loss of Paul. I enjoyed meeting Paul at the bridge table. I always got a warm friendly welcome and a challenging bridge round. I am sorry for your loss. Paul will be greatly missed.

I taught with Paul at two different schools starting in 1974. We each coached basketball at the same time. There were also many bridge tournaments and social gatherings throughout the years with a lot of present memories. He was a good friend and role model.

My thoughts and prayers are with you Rev. Deb at this sad time.

My condolences for your loss. I had Mr. Stanbury for math when I was a student at Emery C.I. (class of 1977) and he was a wonderful, patient teacher with a wry sense of humour.

Dear Deanne, our condolences to you on the loss of Paul. Bill and I always enjoyed playing against you at the bridge table. Paul was a tall, unassuming , kind opponent. On BBO, he always asked how we were doing. May he Rest In Peace……Roseanne and Bill Myers

A beloved teacher, a forever helpful colleague, a warm-hearted, loyal and close friend over one-half of a century, cannot but leave a palpable lack in our lives. Our family will miss him as our thoughts are now with his, to each member of which we send our condolences with a heavy heart.

Mr. Stanbury helped me through many Maths dilemmas in my years at Emery CI. He was unbelievably patient. He became good friends with my dad who was the Presbyterian minister at St. Stephen’s at Weston Road and Verobeach. I was so sad to hear of his passing. God be with you who remain.

Always, love and support our whole lives .
Resting in Heaven .

Dear Rev. Deb and all Kenneth’s loved ones. A man with the qualities of love for his God , his Family and others has been blessed by God. I am sure He will be missed but always fondly remembered.

Dear Rev. Deb and family
Our deepest condolence on the loss of your beloved Father. We know it has been a difficult time for you but know you have been in our thoughts and prayer’s. We pray you find solace knowing your father now rests in the loving arms of God.

Paul Stanbury made math class at Emery bearable for this non-mathie. Kind and encouraging always, he told me if I promised never to take math again he would allow me to squeak by and skip the final exam in calculus! I’ve kept faith in my gladly given promise, Mr Stanbury! And he certainly kept faith in his life, a modest gentleman always full of grace and warmth to those of us fortunate enough to have him as our teacher. Well done, good and faithful servant…

Dear Beth and family. My condolences on the loss of Paul.

Rev. Deb and Family,

We have made a donation to Operation Smile in memory of your Dad.
You are all in our thoughts and prayers.

Rev. Deb and Family, our sincere sympathy to you and your family on the passing of your Dad, Cherish all the wonderful memories you will have gathered over the years. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Sincere condolences to all of the Stanbury family. Remembering Paul as a presbyter in the Oak Ridges Presbytery, as was I. Thoughts and prayers to all.

Sincere condolences to all the family.

Paul, you had been a trusted friend and colleague for a decade and more while I was at Emery Collegiate. Professional, caring, helpful, up and down, I was personally a beneficiary of all these qualities of yours. You will be missed.

Rest in peace.

It was very sad to hear of Paul’s passing. I started my teaching career at Emery Collegiate in 1974, where I had the pleasure of knowing Paul, a quiet and very dedicated educator.

I was especially impressed by his athletic abilities in coaching basketball and baseball, as well as his cerebral abilities in coaching the Emery Chess Club. Paul will be greatly missed.

My condolences to Paul’s family, who can take comfort in knowing that he helped improve the lives of so many who knew him.

Rev. Deb and family , so very sorry for your loss. Wishing you peace and comfort in the coming days. Keeping you in our prayers —- from Linda Doll and members of St. Andrew’s, Southampton.

So very sorry to hear of Paul’s passing. We taught at Emery together for many years. He was much beloved by staff and students. We travelled on a school trip to London one year The group of staff members enjoyed many fun moments. Memories to treasure.

My sincere sympathies to the family. May God comfort you in your grief.

We were deeply saddened to hear of Paul’s passing. Georgie and I both attended Emery C.I. in the early 70’s. Paul was a wonderful teacher for two mediocre math students. He was so patient and encouraging. He was a model of professionalism balanced with a genuine concern for each of his student’s success both in class, on the basketball court and in life. He quietly lived his faith. We cherish our memories,
Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and the many whose lives were enriched by knowing Paul.

We got to know Paul & his wonderful family when our sons, Joel & Stuart, played baseball in the Phoenix organization. Paul was a wonderful coach and a great friend. He was a true gentleman & a warm, caring human being. Our Deepest Sympathies to all of his family. Our thoughts & prayers are with you at what we know is a very difficult time.

Dear Deanne, Stanbury and Dumas families,
I first knew Mr. Stanbury as a mathematics teacher. He was very dedicated to his students, respectful of them and taught with a great sense of fun.
He later became a student in the Cardiac Rehab Program at Mackenzie Health and I became his teacher. He was a fast learner and went on to volunteer in the program- as ever showing his commitment and caring for community.
He was a person who cared about and for others.
It was my privilege to know him.
My thoughts are with all of you at this difficult time.
Cynthia Parsons

Our condolences to the Stanbury family. We just heard of Paul’s passing through the receptionist at our Dentist office.
Paul helped me get my first teaching job at William Lyon Mackenzie in 1989 – always grateful for that. He, and his first wife (Beth) , were wonderful neighbours to my mom and dad (Anne and Alan Beckwith) at 78 Centre Street West.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family during this difficult time.
Kathy Beckwith (on behalf of Anne Beckwith and my sibilings)

Dear Stanbury Family,

I was saddened to hear of Mr. Stanbury’s passing. He was my grade 10 math teacher at William Lyon Mackenzie C.I. I was lucky to have him as my teacher just before he retired. He was an excellent teacher and a true gentleman. May he rest in peace.

Sincerely,
Mythili
