Paul Casper Obituary

Casper, Paul R. 86, of Grand Haven, MI, formerly of Oak Park, IL, passed away Sunday, December 29. Paul was married to Mary, his loving wife of 67 years. Paul worked as a truck driver for Local 705 Teamster and retired in 1983. He enjoyed puzzles, playing cards and watching game shows. He was a handy man, able to fix almost anything, a great storyteller and above all else a jokester. Paul is survived by his children, Linda (David) Facio, Edward (June), James (Sun Cha), Louise (William) Ludwig, Diane (James) Wiaduck, Donna (Nick) Karabetsos, Michael (Bonnie) and Kelly (Manuel) Vasquez; 25 grandchildren; 32 great-grandchildren; and 3 four-legged children, Charlie, Stella and Maggie. A memorial service will be announced at a later date. Memorial contributions may be given in Paul's name to Harbor Humane Society.

He was one of a kind guy. I will miss him so much. I feel very fortunate to be his daughter-in-law. He would joke with me and say "Your alright, no matter what anyone says"! He made me laugh and always had a good story to tell, no matter if you heard it once before. I will miss you Dad...you will always be in my heart! Love Bonnie (Boneldo as he called me)
