Paul Pfeiffer, 91, Stiles, formerly of Chicago, died peacefully Wednesday morning, March 4, 2015, at home, surrounded by his family. He was born Feb. 14, 1924, in Yugoslavia to Paul and Elizabeth Pfeiffer.
On July 10, 1949, he married Notburga in Austria. The couple traveled by boat with their two small children in 1952 to Chicago. While living in Chicago, Paul worked in factories until retiring with his family to the Stiles area in 1991.
Paul loved wildlife and cared for animals when they became hurt or sick. He also enjoyed planting flowers and having a vegetable garden, as well as fishing with his 12-foot cane pole. Paul was well known on his road for his frequent bike rides, doing so well into his 80s.
Survivors are his three children, Paul Pfeiffer Jr., Chicago, Anna (Manfred) Maass and Rosemary Pfeiffer, all of Oconto Falls; five grandchildren, Jason (Victoria) Pfeiffer and Susan (Mike) Detjen, Eric Maass, Gina and Bradley (Emily) Pfeiffer; and seven great-grandchildren.
He was preceded in death by his parents and wife.
Visitation only was held from 1-5 p.m. Saturday, March 7, at Jones Funeral Service in Oconto Falls. Cremation followed.
The Pfeiffer family would like to thank Jason and Vikki for the care and help they gave Paul that allowed him to stay in his home, right up until the end of his life.
