Paul Edward Jasman passed away on December 7, 2022. Born April 10, 1930 on a farm near Ogdensburg in Waupaca County, to Carl and Mary (Wakeman) Jasman and was the youngest of four children. He attended Smith County Grade School and graduated from Little Wolf High School Manawa, WI on May 28, 1947. Paul married his sweetheart Doloris Fielding on February 20, 1952 at Most Precious Blood Catholic Church in New London, WI.

Paul served his country in the U. S. Army at Fort Hood Texas from 1953 to 1955 where he was an instructor in the Gunnery and Tank Warfare, earning rank of Staff Sargent. He has been a proud member of the Knights of Columbus since 1955.

He continued farming with his parents then became a brick sorter at Waupaca Brick, as well as Edison Wood products in New London.

He was instrumental in starting the Fond du Lac County Hunter & Firearms Safety Committee teaching classes while chairing that committee from 1967 to 1988.

Paul enjoyed teaching firearms safety and coaching youth baseball. He loved marching in area Fourth of July parades as Uncle Sam, proudly walking on stilts in his red, white, and blue uniform shaking hands and bringing smiles to the villagers. Paul also loved fishing on Lake Winnebago with family and friends, trout fishing, turkey hunting, and deer hunting from a young man to the age of 88.
