Read MoreJan I will miss Paul very much. We remember past visits from Karen and Paul and family when we lived in Iowa and our visits to Michigan after we were married. I was too young to remember this, but.... ( I used to turn the yard light on when they were sitting in their car after a date!) (Brother in Law Lynn)
We Love You Paul. Lynn and Jan Schulte

Paul and Karen are some of the kindest people I know and I have many great memories of them from growing up next door. What I will always remember and loved about Paul is that he looked very stern and serious, then his big smile and laugh would just light up his face and would surprise me every time. I look forward to seeing him again in heaven. My thoughts and prayers are with your whole family.
