Obituary of Paul Douglas Thibodeau

It is with great sadness the family of the late Paul "Gamar" Douglas Thibodeau announce his sudden death at the Saint John Regional Hospital, June 26, 2019. Born in Saint John, NB on October 06, 1954 to the late Carl and Betty (Bent) Thibodeau. Paul will be greatly missed by his family and the west side community. He worked from the age of 17 as a longshoreman, and could be seen during his time off at the local ballpark and rink. Always active, he would ride his bicycle on ‘secret trails’ and loved beachcombing for local treasures.
