This condolence is terribly belated. I regret that I did not know Paul, but his father and my grandfather Carl Peppmeier were brothers and I remember visiting the Peppmeiers at Spencer many years ago. I salute his service to his country.

Uncle Pauls photo tells it all. Still the same loving caring smiling face I have always remembered. He had such a gentle kind caring personality that was very unique I never knew him to discredit , harm or insult anybody. He truely was a very special one of a kind gentleman. May he rest in peace. May God Bless Shirley, Bill Angie and the rest of the family with comfort and peace as they go thru this difficult time. Our prayers, hearts and thought go out to u all. Lots of Love to All of You. Cyndi, Joe & Family??
