Paul Michael Wallace 
5th Nov 1969 - 8th July 2023 
Whatever we were to each other, that we are still. - Henry Scott Holland
The world lost a beautiful person when Paul passed away. The much loved son of Monica and Bill Wallace and brother to Andrew and Sarah. Paul was a creative, sensitive, caring person, but especially humorous. He was a history graduate of McGill University, following which he spent several years living and working with the Shen family in Ottawa and Poland, helping the family develop a wood bonding process and introduce it to industry. Paul then changed career paths and enrolled at Humber College to learn advertising copywriting. He worked for several advertising, agencies rising to the position of Executive Creative Director at a large Toronto agency. He earned 199 international awards over the course of his career, including five Strategy Agency of the Year awards and industry recognitions from Cannes Lions, D&AD, Clios, LIAs, One Show, and Marketing Awards. Life took a tumble just prior to the Covid pandemic and the general decline of the industry. This took him into freelance work but he missed the team spirit of the agencies and the opportunity to take projects from conception to product delivery. Paul will be remembered as a selfless person who was always ready to help his friends.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ - Bill Wallace, July 2023.
