Glynn, Paul

PAUL THOMAS GLYNN August 22, 1929 - October 30, 2016 Peacefully at the Arnprior & District Memorial Hospital on Sunday evening, October 30, 2016; Paul Thomas Glynn of McNab/Braeside passed away following a lengthy illness. He was 87. Beloved husband and life partner of Saundra (nee McKay). Dearly loved and proud "Dad" of Mary Teresa Glynn and Caroline Glynn. Fondly remembered by Saundra's family, the McKays from Arnprior. Paul was born in Toronto, the only child of the late Thomas Vincent Glynn and the late Teresa Marrin. He was ordained to the priesthood in 1956 as a member of the Congregation of St. Basil. Paul taught high school at St. Michael's in Toronto and at the old St. Joseph's High School on Broadview Ave. in Ottawa. In 1971, Paul left the priesthood and married Saundra McKay. He worked for the Ontario English Catholic Teachers' Association, where he focused on social justice issues. Paul was also instrumental in the formation of the Association of Former Basilians. After moving to McNab/Braeside he became very involved with the Arnprior Food Bank and will be long remembered for his commitment and dedication to our local community. In spite of his professional and community activities, Paul always found the time to be actively involved in his family's life.
