Dr. Paul John Eisenbarth of RR#3 Hanover, died at home Wednesday, March 2, 2011 in his 67th year. Paul was born in Hackensack, New Jersey, son of the late John and Lillian (Johnson) Eisenbarth. After attending Cornell and Johns Hopkins Universities in the USA, he moved to Canada as a conscientious objector in 1970. He loved everything Canadian and was a true Canadian citizen. Paul was a lifelong and tireless advocate in peace and anti-nuclear movements through his work with Physicians for Global Survival and International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War (IPPNW). Through this work with other like-minded physicians he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Peace (1985). He was also committed to sustainable ecological farming (Ecological Farmers of Ontario) and a keeper of rare breeds of livestock (Rare Breeds Canada). Paul believed deeply in a just and secure food system and sustainable agriculture (National Farmers Union). In his rare free moments, he loved hunting, fishing, and canoeing. After working on Manitoulin Island (1970-1979) he moved to Hamilton and worked in emergency medicine, as a trauma team leader, and in critical care transport (1980-1999). During these years he sang with the Opera Hamilton Chorus, the male Orpheus Choir, and the Bach-Elgar Choir.

In 1999 he settled in Hanover and was deeply committed to the entire health care community and community in general. Paul was a lifelong supporter of First Nations, Indigenous, and Inuit Peoples Rights. In particular he was lovingly committed to Six Nations and other First Nations Peoples in the Hamilton-Wentworth region as well as the Inuit of Nunavut. Since 2004 Paul spent much time working with and for the Inuit in Iqaluit and other communities in Baffin Region, as well as in Ikaluktutiak (Cambridge Bay). PEACE ALSO TAKES COURAGE. Paul will forever be so deeply missed by his wife, co-advocate, best friend, and true soul mate Marney (Cuff) Eisenbarth. He will also be greatly missed by his son and farming partner, Tim MacDonald (Rebecca Taylor) of Bentinck. Survived, loved and missed by his son Marc and daughter Laura (both of Hamilton), brother Peter and sister-in-law Nancy as well as niece and nephew Kate and Daryl Eisenbarth, all of New Jersey. Predeceased by father-in-law Frank Cuff (Hamilton). Also loved and missed by mother-in-law Shirley Cuff, sisters-in-law: Deb Gavin (Thunder Bay), Marilyn Cuff (Walkerton), Trish Bella (Prince George, BC), Chris Cuff (Vancouver, BC), and Aleisha Cuff (Toronto).
