Paul A. Kaliska

Paul A. Kaliska, 88, of Phillips, died peacefully in the presence of family
members on August 11, 2020, at Marshfield Clinic Hospital, in Marshfield,
WI. Paul was born on November 24, 1931, on the family farm in Phillips, a
son to Andrew and Zuzzana (Bartosikova) Kaliska.
Paul attended Hartman Grade School and graduated from Phillips High School
in 1950. While still in High School, he enlisted with the National Guard,
serving 9 year before being Honorably Discharged in 1958. He married Donna
Wolf on September 15, 1956, in Stockbridge, WI, and celebrated 63 wonderful
years together. They raised five children living in Hartland, WI, and Paul
worked at Briggs & Stratton for 33 years as he moved up the ranks, retiring
from management in 1986. Upon his retirement, Paul and Donna returned back
to the family farm where he lived out the remainder of his life. He was
happiest outdoors – especially hunting. Following in his father’s footsteps,
he spent time carving wood, fixing, repairing, and tinkering around the
house and farm. When he wasn't outdoors he was thoroughly enjoying the
honesty and integrity of FOX News.

Survivors include his wife, Donna; children, Richard (Jeanette), James
(Patricia), Mary (Bill), John (Terri), and Susan (Doug); grandchildren,
Emily (Brandon), Elizabeth (fiancé Joel), Abigail, Andrew, and Joshua; and
his first great-grandchild due in October.
He is preceded in death by his parents; eight siblings; and one grandson,
Alex.
