Paul J. Mottle


Paul J. Mottle, age 74, lifelong resident of Oshkosh, died at his residence on Saturday, February 9, 2008, completing his battle with Lou Gehrig's disease. Paul was born on November 18, 1933. He was the son of Walter and Margaret Bork. He is survived by his golden retriever pal, Sammy II.


Paul was a devoted Catholic, attending Mass at St. John Catholic Church for many years. He loved the outdoors, was an avid hunter, and enjoyed spending time at his cottage on the Rat River. Paul was a life long Packer fan.


Paul was caring, compassionate, and a friend to all; his "half hour walk" would often take hours because he had so many friends to talk to along the way. He served his country in the Army during the Korean War. Paul worked for the Soo Line Railroad, and later for the Winnebago County Highway Department.
