It is with great sadness, we announce, Paul passed away suddenly on May 9, 2025.

Paul lived for the outdoors, hunting, fishing, boating, and trapshooting with David and Bob. In earlier years, pheasant hunting in Iowa with his dog Andy, and his best friend Don. For many years Paul and Jan travel to Mazatlán and Ixtapa, Mexico where they met lifelong friends. When Paul retired, they moved to Silver City, New Mexico, where they built a home and lived on a small ranch with lots of animals. After many years, Paul and Jan returned home to the La Crosse area to be near family close friends making their home on Lake Onalaska, enjoying the everyday wildlife and beautiful sunsets.
Paul was a man of “quick wit” and personality not to be forgotten. Rest in peace Pablo… as you are now out of pain. Sorely missed, but “never forgotten.”
Per his wishes, no funeral will take place.
RIP, Paul! You will be sorely missed in the neighborhood.
My condolences to his wife Jan and the Jahimiak family. He has and will always have a special place in my heart. RIP Paul.
Paul it saddened me to hear of your passing. Although we were friends for only a short time you treated me as a life long friend. I enjoyed talking with you and learning of your life story and all your crazy adventures.
