Remembering Paul Viau - A Life Well Lived - 1925 to 2019
OBITUARY – Joseph Leopold (Paul) Viau
May 26, 1925 to December 28, 2019
He was hoping to hit 100, and he almost made it. On the morning of Saturday, December 28th at the awesome age of 94, Paul Viau quietly slipped away, and the world lost a wonderful character and fine man.
Paul was born in 1925 in the village of St. Pascal Baylon, not far from Ottawa. He was 4 when the Great Depression hit; his favorite toy was a bicycle wheel with a stick to roll it up and down the lane. But growing up on a farm meant one good thing: you knew there would be something on the table for supper every night.
Instinctively knowing how important that was, little Paul would offer food to hungry folks passing by on the road, looking for work. It must have made him feel good, because that desire to help others would become a lifelong passion for the young French-Canadian boy.
On his own in Ottawa at just 16, with war expanding from Europe to the Pacific, Paul enlisted in the Air Force. Two years later he was posted to Halifax, where he left his native French language behind as he fell in love with Florence Curran. Everyone thought she looked like a beautiful, young Queen Elizabeth, and they were married on Florence’s birthday in 1946. Paul left the Air Force to go to work at Atlantic Chev Olds, Halifax’s GM dealership, and he went to night school to learn book-keeping.
From their lifelong home on Elliott Street, Paul reached out tirelessly to help others. He founded and ran the teen club at St. Lawrence church, and with his book-keeping training, he served as Treasurer of the church’s credit union. For more than 30 years, he also worked with the St. Vincent de Paul Society helping needy families with food, furnace oil… and hope.
When his son Dan wanted to learn to ski at 5, Paul bought skis too. He said he’d learned to ski as a boy with his brothers, using barrels staves tied to their winter boots. Paul spent many winter weekends at Ski Martock with Dan, it’s one of Dan’s most cherished memories of his “Papa”.
Track and Field was Paul’s next passion. When Dan took up the sport as a teen, Paul began volunteering as an official. He devoted thousands of hours to achieve International certification, and one of his proudest moments was serving as Coordinator of the Marathon at 1976 Olympic Games in Montreal.
In his mid-40’s, Paul left work at the GM dealer, now called Scotia Chev Olds. With his book-keeping training and volunteer credit union experience, he turned out to be a very good Credit Union Inspector for the Nova Scotia government. So good, in fact, he was appointed Registrar of Credit Unions in 1973, where he worked hard to protect and preserve small, community-based credit unions until his retirement in 1989.
In his later years, Paul was also very active in Halifax’s Irish cultural community, even though it was Florence who was Irish, and he took great pride in his service with the Knights of Columbus. As a 4th Degree Knight, he participated in 147 Honour Guards.
Over the course of his life, Paul also made more than 100 blood donations; it was yet another way he spent his life helping others. He leaves behind a legacy of commitment to family and community - his life’s work surely would have made his parents Eugene Viau and Leodora Lavigne proud.
Paul’s heart was broken when he lost Florence, his wife of 51 years, in 1997. But he continued to help others, and it was at St. Lawrence’s weekly fund-raising bingo where he met fellow volunteer Ann Conway. Friendship led to marriage in 1999, and Paul and Ann enjoyed many happy years together in Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island. Ann’s loving care for Paul in his last years meant everything to him.
Paul will also be dearly missed by his children Dan (Kathy) and Daphne Arsenault (Terry); his grandchildren Becka, Jon, Bryan, Aaron and Vanessa; and his great-grandchildren Ezra, Meike, Wyatt, Marin, Henry and Sawyer.
He will also be missed by his stepchildren Allan “Bumper” Conway (Tracy) and April Patterson (Chris) and their children Ben, Olivia and Sam.
Paul and Florence also had a baby girl they named Paula in 1959, but she only lived for 6 days, and all of Paul and Florence’s brothers and sisters have passed away.
We will miss you Papa... and always love you.
Canada 150 - Pope Mania of 1984
It was one of the biggest events in Canadian history when on Sept 9th 1984, Pope John Paul II kissed the tarmac at the airport in Quebec City and kicked-off, the first ever papal visit in Canada.
In the frenzied atmosphere of a rock concert, millions of Canadians flocked to stadiums, cathedrals and to parks across the country, to get a glimpse of the Holy Father and for a chance to be close to him.
For 12 days in September of that year, JP2 visited 13 Canadian cities coast-to-coast in a whirlwind tour that took Canadians by storm, stirring millions with his condemnation of injustice & poverty, along with his traditional stance on birth control, divorce and of course, his message of hope: “Be Not Afraid, I Come Before You”.
And by the time the visit ended on September 20, the Pope travelled coast-to-coast and visited Quebec City, Trois-Rivières, Montreal, St. John’s, Moncton, Halifax, Toronto, Midland, Winnipeg/St. Boniface, Edmonton, Yellowknife, Vancouver and Ottawa-Hull. He made more than 30, major addresses and left millions more in tears.
Sadly though, severe weather conditions prevented him from meeting with Aboriginal Peoples from the North. However, he firmly promised to return again, which he surprisingly did, 3 years later in june of 1987 when he returned to Canada just to meet with the people of Fort Simpson in the Northwest Territories.
Now, unbeknownst to Canadians at the time, the Pope set the tone for his final trip to Canada, for the World Youth Day in 2002, when along with tens of thousands of young people in Montreal’s Olympic Stadium, the Pope used the future World Youth Day theme of salt and light to address his audience.
“I wish to speak to you about the light of Christ, because it is as a witness of the Redeemer that I have come before you. Listen to what I tell you: I am the light of the world. He who comes after me will not be walking in the shadows, there will be light to lead him to life.” With joy I assure you all once again of my gratitude, and I renew from the bottom of my heart my good wishes for all the people of Canada.
This first-ever Papal trip to this country in 84 was a memorable moment for all Canadians, It was bright light in the history of the Church in Canada.
