I became acquainted with Paul during the snowmobiling era of the 80’s, and respected him since that acquaintance all through the years until the present time. He would always come over to where I was at various occasions that we both attended and have a short, friendly conversation. I always enjoyed his friendliness and will greatly miss it, as I will also miss him.
I am so so sorry, Ginger and Skadberg family. My heart weeps for you all.
Words can’t even begin to express how sad I am for you and your family Ginger! He was a great man who was loved by many. His legacy will live on with you and the kids Ginger. May you find strength in family and friends to help you navigate your way through this.
Ginger and Family,
Our deepest sympathies to you and your family. You are all in our thoughts and Prayers.

Ginger and family, our thoughts and prayers are with you. So sorry for your loss.
My cousin Paul was so loved and will be deeply missed. We grew up on farms only three miles apart. We rode the same bus, went to the same church and schools, and had many friends in common, including his dear wife, Ginger, who is one of my close friends. I’m still in shock that he’s no longer here with us in the physical I know here’s still around in spirit, but the pain cuts deep, and my heart breaks for his immediate family members, especially his wife of 45 years plus dating time.
To all who are grieving, may the love and memories you shared bring you some comfort. Rest in peace Paul; we miss you!
No words can express how sorry we are for you Ginger & family. We prayer for strength, comfort in the many memories you hold and courage for the days ahead. You are in our thoughts & prayers.

May God’s peace make itself known in powerful ways in the days to come.
Ginger & Family, I am so sad to hear of Paul’s passing. He was a wonderful guy. Whenever we seen each other he always would stop and chat. I’ve known Paul 50+ years and will always remember his smile and the good times. Rest in Peace my friend. Prayers for you all. ❤️❤️
Our sincere sympathy to the Skadberg family. So sorry for your loss. May God Bless you.

Ginger, my deepest sympathy on your loss. May God give you comfort and peace.
Ginger my deepest condolences. may God bless you with peace.
I have known Paul my whole life. We grew up together in the ways that it matters. I appreciate Paul’s humor/wit and nonsense manner, oh, but it was fun to get in trouble with him. I was really looking forward to seeing him this coming summer, but now I will take solace in remembering him fondly and honor his life and share stories of him with others that I meet. Ginger, please accept my condolences, and my heart goes out to you and your family in these times of transition.
Ginger: Just returned from out-of-state. What a shock about Paul’s death. So sorry. Paul was always friendly at gatherings that he and I were both at. He will be missed in the community.
