George Paulus
George T. Paulus, 65, of Kenosha, passed away on Monday, June 30, 2014, at St. Catherine’s Medical Center surrounded by his loving family.

On December 18, 2004, he married Susan Fliess in Kenosha. George was employed as an aerial supervisor and foreman with Northwest Cable Construction for over 20 years. He was a member of St. Sebastian Catholic Church and loved antique tractors, farming, fishing, hunting, animals and listening to old country music.

He was preceded in death by a son, Joshua W. Smith; a nephew, James Paulus; his mother-in-law, Alice Fliess; and a “brother”, Ronald Grenier. The family would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to Dr. Mariani, Dr. Jarzembowski, and the entire staff in the St. Catherine’s Medical Center ICU for all of the kind and considerate care they gave George. A Mass of Christian Burial will be held on Friday, July 4th, at St. Sebastian Catholic Church, 3126-95th Street, Sturtevant, WI, at 10:00 a.m. Interment will follow at St. John the Baptist Cemetery in Paris, WI.
