Arnold Pieron
We are sad to share the loss of our husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather.  

​A
rnold Paul Pieron
December 15, 1935 – September 15, 2020

Paul is survived by his wife of 62 years Henriette, 4 daughters -  Cora (John), Andriëtte, Paulien and Petri, 5 grandchildren – Hannah, Marcus, Drew, Leoni and Rhys and 1 great-granddaughter – Arienna.

Born in the Netherlands, Paul started his medical training in Amsterdam and then emigrated to Canada where he specialized in orthopaedics in Winnipeg.  He moved his family back to the Netherlands to do a PhD in Leiden. In 1973 the family returned to Canada where he had a thriving practice as an orthopaedic surgeon in Regina, Sask.  He completed the final 10 years of his career back in the Netherlands.  He and Henriette retired to Surrey BC, where they have enjoyed a rich social and cultural life with many friends.

Paul was an avid traveller. He sailed, skied, cycled, hiked, walked, swam, enjoyed bridge and was an enthusiastic gardener.  He also had an eclectic collection of antique cars which he enjoyed showing at car club events.

Paul was a foundation member of Kings University in Edmonton, involved in church life – latterly the Peninsula United Church in Surrey.  He and Henriette were very involved in sponsoring refugee families as well as charitable works in El Salvador and elsewhere.  Paul was a man of few words and a lot of good deeds.
 Paul walked a unique path through a full life.   His counsel, love and consistent ever present support will be missed by his extended family which now spans 4 generations, his friends, his patients and the charities he supported.   

Paul will be laid to rest at the Hazelmere Cemetery, Surrey, BC with a private graveside service.

His service will be live streamed on Friday September 25, 2020 at 11am and can be viewed afterwards by going to ​https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=333577497700252&extid=B128iAedsfqocACA

Henriette, Please accept our deepest sympathy. Paul was a friendly, calm & thoughtful bridge opponent. From time to time we talked about old Mercedes. We enjoyed the beautiful anniversary celebration in your garden. Sandra & Brock

I was saddened to hear of Paul's passing. He was a thoughtful opponent at the bridge table and a true gentleman. He will truly be missed.

Beste Henriette,
Wat erg te horen dat Paul is overleden. Het is toevallig dat ik de Dutch Network krant krijg en daar zie ik dat Paul overleden is! Ik heb zulke fijne herinneringen van jullie bezoek in 1967 bij mijn vader (Wim Aalders), mijn toch met jullie naar Winnipeg en mijn maand lang verblijf bij jullie. Loop al jaren naar jullie adres te zoeken.
Mijn vader is in 2001 overleden, en mijn moeder in 1998.
Zou het zo fijn vinden om veer contact met jou te hebben. Mijn dochter is naar Nanaimo verhuisd en ga naar haar toe in januari. Hoop echt op gauw contact. Groetjes, en liefs.
