Paul J. Haverkamp was born on July 14, 1936, to Hobert and Thelma Haverkamp in Creighton. Paul married Marjorie Topf, and they had four children, Joan, Jolene, Doug, and Mark. Paul and Marge settled in Plainview, where they owned and operated a successful grocery store, Paul's G.W. Market, for 25 years. In retirement, he spent many years traveling in the motorhome across the country with Jolene and their dog, Midget. Paul enjoyed

cutting out small figurines for Marge's craft shows. When they finished their yard work, they truly enjoyed a glass of wine admiring the view. Paul was a very faithful and a steady presence with his family and his church. At his home parish, he was an active member and held various positions throughout his years of service.

He is survived by three children, Joan Spencer of Hastings, Doug (Katie) Haverkamp of lowa Falls, IA, and Mark (Stacy) Haverkamp of Aberdeen, SD; six grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren.

He was preceded in death by his parents; his wife; his daughter, Jolene Haverkamp, and son-in-law, Larry Spencer.
