Paul Wye<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Wye is survived by his wife, Ruthann Drummond, and their three young sons: Quinn, Davin and Ashton. A family man who poured his heart and soul into loving and caring for those around him, he is survived by his parents, Lockie and Judi Wye; his sister, Lindsay (Ben); his parents-in-law, Ruth Ranson and Ross Drummond; his brother-in-law, Andrew (Sara); and his nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles and cousins. He will be missed by countless friends, coworkers and neighbours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wye worked at ¿ì²¥ÊÓƵ's Osgoode Professional Development for 20 years, starting in a student role and working his way up to a management position. He was a loyal and devoted employee and coworker, as evidenced by his recent peer-nominated 2020 Louella Sturdy Leadership Award<\/a> win for his outstanding contributions to the Osgoode community. Long before the COVID-19 pandemic made online course delivery essential, Wye was heavily involved in bringing cutting-edge learning technology to the University<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A celebration of Wye's life will be held on Friday, Aug. 11 at 2 p.m. at ¿ì²¥ÊÓƵ's Osgoode Hall Law School, with a small reception to follow. The family asks that attendees wear bright colours and bring a favourite memory of Wye. Those who cannot attend are encouraged to share their memories by emailing lindsay.wye@gmail.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the GoFundMe page<\/a> that has been established to support his family.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
