Rolland Paschke

Rolland "Rollie" Paschke went to his eternal home on October 4, 2011, at the age of 91. He had been a resident at Park Vista in Waupaca the past year. Rollie was born on July 27, 1920, in the Town of Weyauwega to Hugo and Minnie (Ziemer) Paschke. He was united in marriage to June Schultz on March 25, 1944 at St. Peters Lutheran Church where he remained a faithful lifelong member. He farmed the family farm for many years before going to work at Paine Lumber Co. in Oshkosh. Where he retired in 1985. He was an avid sports fan, playing hardball for the Weyauwega Braves in to his 30's and golfing until arthritis made it impossible. He loved watching the Badgers, Brewers and Packers. His church played a very important part in his life from singing in the choir to serving on various boards.
