Paul Clement Schmeltzer, 98, of Bremen, was born May 30, 1919 in Hocking County, Ohio and went peacefully to be with our mother, Helen on Monday, December 25, 2017.
Paul was a graduate of Logan High School. He was a retired carpenter, a veteran of the United States Army serving in WWII, a member of the American Legion, Oscar McVeigh Post 20, Bremen and St. Mary’s Catholic Church, Bremen. He was blessed to have lived all but the last few days of his life independently at his home.

He was preceded in death by his wife, Helen Boch Schmeltzer; parents, Thomas C. and Ida Louise (Savoy) Schmeltzer; brothers, Robert, Earl (Rosie), Bernard “Bill” (Cecilia) and Harold (Erma); and sister, Louise (Ray) Miller.
We wish to thank the ER doctor and RN staff on 5th floor, Palliative Care at FMC and FairHoPe Hospice for their care of our father and our family.
