He was born August 17, 1932, in Chicago, Ill., son of John Skogstrom and Elsie (Welker) Skogstrom. Paul was preceded in death by his parents; and his sister, Marjory (Skogstrom) Beamish.
Paul worked as a math teacher, a school psychologist, and, for many years, a self-employed clinical psychologist. He was an enthusiastic member of the Democratic Party.
Paul and Helen attended the Center for Spiritual Living of Greater Cincinnati.
He is survived by his wife, Helen, and his four children: James Skogstrom, Kim (Skogstrom) Strobel, Laura (Skogstrom) Siemon, and Julie (Skogstrom) Pavlatos.
Helen's three children are P.R. Frank, Tina (Frank) Sampson, and Lainie (Frank) Croke. Paul & Helen share 14 grandchildren and seven great grandchildren, and all their spouses and stepchildren.
