Paul Tokar Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Matz Mt. Prospect Funeral Chapel, Inc. from Jan. 7 to Jan. 13, 2026.
My life with Skip (his name was Paul) but I was introduced by his cousin Margie as Skip and that's how the family called him! His dad Paul called him that upon returning from the service! We met at the age of fourteen ! And he told me that he knew immediately that I was the one he was going to marry! We have known each other for 70 years! Married for 62 years! We had three beautiful children, Charmaine, Paul and Peter! Bonus of three beautiful grandchildren, Michael, Rachael and Pauli! We were blessed with a Great Grandson Paul just two years ago and Skip and Great Grandson Paul formed an immediate connection! We had a full life together and grew up and old together ! Skip was a painter and magical wall paper hanger as his business grew with both our sons working alongside him in the formative years! I will miss him forever! And forever hold dear all that life had blessed us with so much health and prosperity but mostly love and respect for each other!
