Paul Rochte Obituary
The Lord called Paul (age 58) home on March 16, 2019. He was a loving husband, father, poppa, son, brother, uncle and a friend to many. He and his wife Lori were married for 40 years, his love was unconditional. He was a lifelong resident of Waterville, Ohio who loved to decorate for Christmas.
He was known as "Parts Paul" the go to guy at Whiteford Kenworth, where he was a dedicated employee for 40 years. Paul had a huge love for animals. He was also a master of the grill. He could whip up a mean hockey puck burger.
He loved making memories with his family and friends. One of his favorite places to do this was his man cave shed, with the music turned up. Paul also enjoyed helping his son on his farm with many projects and of course decorating together for Christmas. Saturday nights Paul would be found in his living room with his family, watching Svengoolie, sipping on green Kool-Aid and snacking on popcorn.
