My heartfelt sincere condolences to the loss of Paul. I always enjoyed corresponding and learning about the histories of the area as well as life in the US Marine Corp when he served our country. I always enjoyed corresponding with Paul as well as with his brother Earl and Leaona about the good times they had with my late father Joseph and mother Myrna at the former Sharkys bar in the Town of Hull, Portage County, WI and how they enjoyed their company . I would take nomination papers for candidates running for public office and stop over to Earl's and Paul's which always was a good rap session about the world and local affairs. Paul also was an usher at St. Peter's Catholic Church in Stevens Point in earlier years and always made it a point to say hi and have some short talk which was enjoyable and educational. Some times when I in the yard or down by the river, he would stop in to visit just to say hi and talk . He will be missed. Paul thank you for your service to the USA! Semper Fi! May God (Boze) rest his soul. I will remember him in my prayers. Phil J Janowski, Town of Hull, Portage County, WI.
