Paul G. Milz, Jr., Evansville, WI  (1931 - 2012)

June 23, 1931 – February 1, 2012
Paul passed away peacefully at home surrounded by his family. He was born June 23, 1931, in Monroe, WI, to Peter Paul Milz, Sr. and Lois Boeck. He graduated from Bellville High School in 1949. In June 1959, Paul purchased Union Tavern where he was a prominent businessman up until the time of his death. He was involved with many activities and sponsorships throughout his life.
