My sympathy to the Paulson family in your loss. “Mr. Paulson” was my first supervisor after graduating from WWTC, as I began employment at Thorp Finance Corporation-La Crosse branch. I have always enjoyed chatting with him after services at Our Savior’s as well. Again, my sympathy….
Thank you, Ann. My dad kept his professional life separate from his family life, so it is neat to hear this. After he retired he did share more stories with us about his time in banking. It was nice to get to know that side of him.

I got to know Chuck at the State Bank and became friends.I enjoyed the many conversions we had at the bank. He was a “GREAT FRIEND”. R.I.P. My Friend
Thank you for remembering my dad, Norman. He really enjoyed connecting with people and sharing stories. We were so fortunate that he was cognitively sound until the end. I am sorry for your loss.
