"Skip" was born in Toledo, Ohio and was a graduate of Central Catholic High School.

He worked many jobs in the insurance industry over a 60+ year timespan including The Al Fogel Insurance Agency in Toledo, Ohio, The Westfield Insurance Company and Lance and Company/Wichert Insurance Agency in Medina, Ohio. Skip was a founding member of the Medina Township Police Department and was proud of the 25 years he worked security for the Cleveland Browns and Indians.

Barb and family, we send our thoughts and prayers as we learned of Paul´s passing. Although we have not seen you in many years, we think of you often, especially when we are at our place on Grand Lake St. Marys where we enjoy the Oktoberfest in Minster or the Wooden Shoe Inn in New Bremen.

Skip was a special guy - always ready with a joke or two. He was a loving husband to one of my very best friends. Love and prayers to the family.

"Paul" was my good friend in 4th and 5th grade at St. Charles in the South End of Toledo. I remember he would visit and bring me something he made in Cub Scouts. Sympathy to his wife, children, and grandchildren. From his obituary, he obviously led a happy, meaningful life.

Skip helped me found Medina Township Police Department . He became the Sgt. We have great memories of those years. We had yearly alumni picnics which he always attended. We had good discussions at these picnics. Later in years our grandsons became friends. I am going to miss Skip. He was a great friend. Ken Turk

My introduction to Skip was at a fraternity rush party at BGSU. Subsequently I joined Pi Kappa Alpha and Skip became my big brother. The relationship stayed strong for 63 years. We golfed, fished, worked the railroad together. The four of us (Barb and Marlene) enjoyed eating, drinking and just visiting. A wonderful guy. I will miss him greatly.
