Paul was a member of AMVET Post 99, and served as their trustee for years. On Oct. 3, 1971, Paul married Susan Ciha in New London, Conn. He was employed at Red Arrow Products as the plant electrician, and retired from there at the age of 50. Paul enjoyed spending his time riding his motorcycle and driving his '64 Chevelle, watching the Green Bay Packers, surfing the Internet, and watching his children playing sports. Survivors include his wife of 35 years: Sue; three sons: Shawn (Keli) Schmitz, Shane Schmitz and his fiancee: Kathryn Deubler; and Jeff (Melissa) Schmitz; one daughter: Stephanie Schmitz; his father: Richard Schmitz; two grandchildren: Chyna and Jackson; three step-grandchildren: Madeline, Joey and Dillon; a sister: Janet (Dick) Emerman; a father-in-law: Albert (Therese) Ciha; very special friends: Don and Sue Jeske; Jim and Judy Chizek; Tom and Ginger Baryenbruch; Crystal Heinzen; Sarah Swetlik; and Bill W.; his pet dogs: Onyx and Monty; also nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends surviving. Paul was preceded in death by his mother: Shirley Zimmer Schmitz; and also his mother-in-law: Marilyn Ciha. The family will greet relatives and friends on Friday, Jan. 5, 2007, at the Harrigan Parkside Funeral Home and Cremation Center, North 11th and St. Clair streets, Manitowoc, from 3 p.m. until the start of the memorial service at 6 p.m. The Rev. Dr. James Klein will officiate with a memorial video tribute along with military rites accorded by AMVETS Post 99 to follow. Participating members of AMVETS Post 99 are asked to be at the funeral home at 5:30 p.m. Private graveside services at Knollwood Cemetery will take place at a later date. In lieu of flowers, the family requests memorials to be made in Paul's name. The family would also like to extend a special thank you to Tara and Jon Sousek, Peggy, Dean and Chrissy Schadrie, and Sue's co-workers at Beernsten Confectionary, all the staff of the VA Medical Center in Milwaukee, and Holy Family Memorial Medical Center in Manitowoc, and also to everyone who supported our family during this difficult time.
