Paul Harms Obituary
Paul grew up participating in 4-H and FFA and playing baseball. He married his high school sweetheart, Beverly Johnson, at Grace Lutheran Church, Dodgeville, on June 27, 1964. Together they raised two children: Jeff and Lisa. Paul loved his family, especially supporting his grandchildren at their various sporting events.
Paul was an avid Dale Earnhardt, Sr. fan-but only because Goodwrench sponsored him. He also enjoyed adding to his collection of diecast NASCAR banks-but again, only the Dale Earnhardt, Sr. ones. Paul also enjoyed searching for antique, "beat-up" furniture and restoring the pieces to their former glory.
Paul will be missed for his smirk and smart-alecky remarks, and his down-to-Earth way with everyone.
Paul was predeceased by his parents Cheese and Gretchen, his brother Ivan, parents-in-law Guerdon and LaCreta Johnson, and sister-in-law Myra Elliott.
Paul is survived by his wife Beverly; children: Jeff (Deb) Harms and Lisa (Nathan) Meixelsperger; grandchildren: Brittany, Shawn (Jasmine), and Amanda; great-grandchildren; Lylianah, Beau, and Eloise; special nephew Kelly; and other family members and friends.
A visitation will be held at Lulloff-Peterson-Houck Funeral Home in Dodgeville from 10:00 am until 11:00 am on Thursday, October 16, 2025. A memorial service will begin at 11:00 am. Burial will commence at Eastside Cemetery, Dodgeville following the service. The Lulloff-Peterson-Houck Funeral Home is assisting the family.
