Paul L. Weinkauf

1954 - 2025

Paul L. Weinkauf, age 71, of Oshkosh, WI, passed away unexpectedly at his home on October 17, 2025.

Paul was born on October 5, 1954, in Oshkosh, the son of the late Edward and Wanda Weinkauf. He graduated from Oshkosh North High School and worked a variety of jobs throughout his life, later becoming well known as a utilities locator. On July 17, 1976, he married the love of his life, Nadine, and together they shared nearly 50 years of laughter, adventure, and love.

Paul was happiest outdoors - hunting, fishing, and spending time surrounded by nature. He enjoyed mini golfing with family, going for long rides with Nadine, and taking trips that created lasting family memories. He also liked going out for breakfast with friends, sharing stories and laughs whenever he could.

Paul had a mischievous sense of humor and took pride in being a self-declared "grumpy old man," always ready to play a prank or crack a joke. He had a passion for collecting unique treasures for what he fondly called his "dead room," a space that perfectly reflected his one-of-a-kind personality. Paul loved animals deeply and is now reunited with all the pets that brought him joy and companionship over the years.

Paul is survived by his loving wife, Nadine; daughters, Shannon (Derek) Kohler and Molly Weinkauf; grandchildren, Grayson and Evelyn; sister, Lynda (Dennis) Lord; and many beloved nieces, nephews, great-nieces, and great-nephews. He will also be missed by extended family and countless friends who were lucky enough to know him.

He is preceded in death by his parents; his brother, Richard Weinkauf; and other family members who went before him.

Paul will be remembered for his humor, his stubborn but loving heart, and the joy he found in simple moments. His family and friends will forever cherish the laughter and memories he brought into their lives.

A memorial service for Paul will be held on Saturday, November 15, 2025, at 3:00 PM at Konrad-Behlman Funeral Home – Westside, 100 Lake Point Drive Oshkosh, Wisconsin. A time of visitation will take place from 1:00 PM until the start of the service.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that memorials be made through the donation of a new toy to Toys for Tots in Paul's memory. Toys may be brought to the funeral home or donated directly to the organization.
