It is with much sadness and a heavy heart that I announce the passing of my husband Paul Grant Hillier Santa Paul, on May 21, 2024 having just celebrated his 72nd Birthday and our 46th Wedding Anniversary in April. Paul had a rough year after surgery last June, but never lost his optimistic spirit and hope that he would get back home to the farm and his Maverick. Although we loved many animals here at Paw Lane Farm over the years, I truly believe that Maverick was his spirit animal. As a member of the world wide Santa Community since 2015, I think Paul found his true calling, touching the lives of children and families all over the world. He was happiest when sharing his Christmas spirit. In following Paul's wishes, there will be no funeral. Paul loved nothing more than to sit on our East porch with his coffee, and Maverick, watching the sun come up so celebrate him this way, or in your own remembrance of him, pat your puppy, hug your loved ones, and as Santa Paul loved to tell the kids, "Just be kind".
