Continue ReadingPaul A. Schulte, 64, of Appleton, passed away on January 24, 2019. Paul was a tall, imposing person with a gentle soul. It was fitting that we had to look up to him. He was intelligent, kind and thoughtful. A very sweet and likeable person with a ready smile. He had many friends, perhaps in part, because when he talked to you, he truly cared. He was a curious person and a good listener. Paul was a gentleman with beautiful manners. He expressed gratitude for everyday gestures, thanking his wife Mary for cooking each meal and each time she did their laundry. Paul was the type of person we should all strive to be.
Paul was born on August 29, 1954, in Manitowoc. He graduated from Manitowoc Lincoln High School in 1972, and attended Minnesota State University, Mankato. Paul held various positions in customer service and sales and was employed by Goodwill NCW for the past 22 years. Paul had his first date with Mary A. Mauk on February 20, 1988, and the two were united as one in marriage on September 23, 1989. Paul and Mary were soulmates who demonstrated pure and unconditional love for each other, unfailingly, for nearly 30 years, until the time of Paul’s passing.
Paul is survived by his beloved wife Mary and their sweet kitty Jupiter; brothers Philip, Dave (Steph), and Dan (Sowsan) Schulte; sisters-in-law: Melody (Tom) Fucik, Melinda Mauk-Templeton (Paul Ziemer) Dr. K. M. Templeton, Michelle (Dan Lacy) Mauk-Lacy; nephews: Ben (Vittoria) Fucik, Grant Lacy, Ben and Noah Schulte; nieces: Emmeline (Jeff) Prokash, Allison (Dave) Engel, Kate, Noor, and Chloe Schulte; and great nephew Eli Engel.
Paul was preceded in death by an infant brother Stephen, parents Karl and Patricia (Sheehan) Schulte, and in-laws Archie and Mary (Clemens) Mauk.
A funeral service will be held at the First United Methodist Church, 325 E. Franklin Street in Appleton, on Saturday, February 9, 2019 at 11:00 AM. Visitation will be held at the church on Saturday from 10:00 AM until the time of the service.
A memorial has been established in Paul’s name.

Mary and Paul have been a small part of my life but a very special one. I remember being so proud of my nephew on his wedding day.
Paul and Mary always made me feel like a good uncle. Every time I saw them they were together. There was never one without the other. They walked their life together!
Now we would like to walk with Mary so she is not alone.

I remember visiting with Paul during your vacation in St. Germain
many years ago. Immediately I enjoyed his smile and easy laughter. I will miss him.

I wanted to let you know that you are in my thoughts and prayers daily in the loss of Paul. I remember when I met Paul with you at church and thought that the two of you were perfect for each other. Please know that even though he is not here with you he is by your side looking down from heaven each day. You can remember along with the rest of your family the special place that Paul held in your heart. I try and remember that when my dad passed away 27 years ago it was such a short notice of him passing away. But I know that know both he and my mom and my brother are watching over all of us as is your mom and dad and Paul's parents and his brother and making sure that this is only a "until we meet again."
