Paul and Wendy Hennessy bringing joy to the sad occasion of cosimo's death. Paul played the guitar and sang Bruce Springsteen's song  "Red Headed Woman" a favourite of Cos'.

Dear Wendy, Mike, Liz, Tish and Francis & Chris,
    We were shocked and so sad to hear of the unexpected passing of your beloved Paul. He was a happy face, a warm hug and always made you feel like you were family. His loss is immense and he will be sorely missed. The Soo has lost a very special citizen volunteer who touched so many lives in a meaningful way. We send our heartfelt condolences to the entire Hennessey clan. With much love,
Steve and Lou

Henri and I were saddened to hear of your loss. Paul was a great man.

Mario and I like so many others were so sorry to hear about Paul's passing. We just had a catch  with him a few weeks ago in metro. Paul was a wild and crazy guy...remembering him will always bring a smile to our face. We are so lucky to have known him. To Wendy and the Hennessy family our utmost condolences. He will be missed.

Wendy and family my heart breaks for you at this difficult time.
I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Paul since I was a teenager. Every time I saw him I was always greeted with a huge smile and even bigger hug. He will be missed. In my thoughts and prayers.

So saddened to hear of Paul's passing.  I was fortunate to reconnect with Paul last summer around the time of the St. Mary's reunion.  It struck me how warm, generous, and welcoming he was.  But, that was Paul---the glue that bound so many of us together.  He will be very deeply missed.  RIP, my friend! 

Dearest Wendy and family, our hearts ache for you all. He was always so happy, funny and kind. He will really be missed. God bless you all, Laura and Bob

For Wendy and all of the Hennessey family.
Please accept my deepest condolences. I am shocked and really heart broken to learn this news.
Paul and I grew up together at St. Mary's College and caught up again at the reunion, just like we'd only been apart a weekend. He was just that kind of guy, fun loving and full of laughs. The Basilian Fathers always knew wherever we were in the school, they could hear us either singing or certainly laughing about something and we always heard about toning that down which never worked! Paul just made the world a better place and I would say that this world is a little less without him.
You are all in my thoughts and prayers. May your memories of a dear husband, father grandfather and brother keep you at this most difficult time.
Rest in peace Paul.

Wendy, Woody and I send all our love your way.   We are so very sorry for the sudden loss of Paul.  He was and will always remain one of the good guys.   

My favourite memory was of Paul, our chocolate martini man, serving up the ladies at our fondu dinner so many many years ago on Palace Drive and of course your wonderful wedding!   One of the best we attended!   

You two are an adoring couple and team.  He will be cheering you on from heaven and in your heart. 

Please hug your kids for us and give yourself a big squeeze.  



Dear Wendy & family, 
Our sincerest sympathies on the passing of Paul. May memories of better times help you through his loss.

He was always able to bring a laugh and good cheer to any gathering.  Being with him was always an enjoyable and unique experience! May remembering all the love, laughs, and joyful times you were able to share together bring you some comfort as you celebrate a life well lived.  Our deepest condolences at this time of sorrow for your family.

Our sincere condolences to the Hennessey family at the recent loss of Paul. You are in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. 

I am very saddened to hear of Paul’s passing. Paul was a friend of mine we chummed with many other friens and had a great time. He used to come to our cottage at Leigh’s Bay and join Alison Barons and myself and my cousin Janet Fike. . Lots of laughs. My nana always wanted to warn us about how deep the water was and chase us with her stick.  We used to dance to Stairway to heaven. Those were the days. My condolences to the Hennessy family. God bless ! ❤️❤️🙏

My Condolences to Wendy, Joshua, Emily and David on the loss of Paul. To  Michael, Francis, Elizabeth, Patricia, and the entire extended Hennessey family, my profound sorrow on the loss of your brother, Paul. My heart is broken with the passing of such a great dedicated friend of 45 years. Paul was such a very special, giving, person and he will be missed by so many. So many awesome memories.



So, so sad to read this. One of the best in our St. Mary's gang. Funny, witty, loyal and a great athlete. Rest in peace dear friend.

So sorry to hear of the sudden passing of Paul. We are sending our deepest condolences to Wendy, Joshua, Emily and David and all the Hennessey family at  this difficult time. Some of Moms (Norma Mullen) favorite times was when Paul would come to visit her here in PEI. He just made her light up! We especially enjoyed his last visit here.

My most heartfelt condolences on the loss of Paul. We shared many fun times & laughs during our trips with the CRC; he was always such a strong advocate and one of my biggest cheerleaders growing up. I am so appreciative of his support throughout those years, and am sending all my love & well wishes to his family during this difficult time of loss.  He was one in a million and I'm so grateful so have ever had the pleasure of knowing him. You are all in my thoughts, prayers and heart <3 

Paul was always noted as a loving husband to Wendy. Their love was something I always aspired to find. Sending out love and support to his family during this hard time.

Condolences Wendy to you and your family. So very sorry for your loss. You and your family our in my thoughts and prayers.

Condolences to Paul's family and friends. 

I was fortunate enough to meet him and spend time with him when my father and I visited the Sault for the Steelers anniversary celebrations. Paul was so kind, generous, funny, and told me loads of stories from the days where he, my father, and the rest of them played ball together. 
I was the quiet young guy there, but seeing those guys reminisce together was very special, so I just stayed quiet and listened to their great memories. 
Paul, you will be missed! 

Kindest regards,
David Berardi


Paul was around my family while I was growing up, as my Uncle Dave’s best friend, he was often an extra at the kitchen table or family celebration and was always kind, sweet and fun to be around. I have fond memories of the great man he was, he will be greatly missed. Xo
