PAUL A. ENGELDINGER

Paul A. Engeldinger, Jr., age 85, formerly of 1906 Stoney Road, Mishicot, died Wednesday morning, March 8, 2006, at the Wisconsin Veteran's Home in King.

Paul was born Aug. 2, 1920, in the Denmark (Bolt) area, son of the late Paul A. Sr. and Lillian (Heidman) Engeldinger. He attended rural schools until the eighth grade. Paul then worked at various places in the area, such as Denmark Box Factory, Hamilton's and Hansel's Tire & Battery in Two Rivers until he entered the service Oct. 15, 1942. Joining the 980 Signal Service of the Army as a telephone technician, he was able to travel around the world to Europe, Australia and Egypt where he participated in setting up the communications for the Cairo conference of Prime Minister Churchill, General Chiang Kai Shek and President Roosevelt. After returning to the United States, he was honorably discharged December 1945.

During his time in service, he corresponded with his wife-to-be, the former Joyce Mancel. Paul joined St. John's Lutheran Church in August 1951 and they were married there Aug. 25, 1951. After marriage, Paul and Joyce moved to their home at 1906 Stoney Road, Mishicot. She preceded him in death March 26, 1991.

Paul started working for the City of Two Rivers in the fall of 1951 as a heavy equipment operator driving the grader. During his years employed with the city, he developed many small parks and baseball diamonds within the city. His favorite jobs were saving the snow in the hole for the July 4th parade and keeping the beach groomed at Neshotah Park. He retired in the summer of 1982. Paul continued to work his hobby farm until August of 2004 when he moved to the Wisconsin Veteran's Home at King, to live. He was a lifetime member of the Pleasant View Gun Club, Mishicot, where he enjoyed deer hunting in the area woods.

Survivors include one daughter: Paulette Neuser, Two Rivers; two sons and one daughter-in-law: Kurt Engeldinger and special friend, Lynn Scheinoha, Mishicot; John and Julie Engeldinger, Mishicot; seven grandchildren: Michael, Jennifer and Kristina Neuser, Two Rivers; Amber and Ashley Engeldinger, Mishicot; Shane and Erin Engeldinger, Mishicot; one great-granddaughter: Taylor Marie Engeldinger - Denton, Mishicot; four sisters-in-law: Lucille Engeldinger, Mishicot; Audrey Hannemann, Appleton; Ruth Mancel, Manitowoc; Junice Mancel, Shawano; two brothers-in-law: Ernest Hansel, Arizona; Clyde Mancel, Manitowoc; nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends also survive.
