Paul H. Runge

By | Uncategorized | 4 Comments

Paul Henry Runge was born on August 18, 1921 to John & Clara Runge in Sarpy County Nebraska.

He passed away at the Life Care Center of Elkhorn on May 2, 2016 at the age of 94.

Paul grew up on the family farm & attended school in Gretna graduating (with the help of his twin sister Phyllis) in 1938. After graduation he worked alongside his father on the farm. He also worked for Firestone Tire for several years.

On October 21, 1945 Paul married Helen Hansen at Immanuel Lutheran Church in Omaha. To this union two children were born, Linda and Leslie. Paul & Helen raised their family on the farm and continued to live there until 1995 when they moved to their home on McKenna Street in Gretna. It is there that he continued his woodworking hobby. It was more than a hobby it was his life for a long time. He made many farm toy items for his grandson and furniture for others. He and Helen went to many craft shows where he sold his beautiful creations. He continued this hobby until he was almost 90 and then he started putting puzzles together. He was always ready for a trip to Iowa for a family birthday or holiday. He loved to see his grandkids and great grandkids. He enjoyed watching baseball and was a Kansas City Royals fan. He watched baseball because he said you could watch the game and know what was going on without hearing what the announcers were saying. He also enjoyed watching Nebraska Football.

In March of 2014 he had to give up his independent living alone and moved to Silver Ridge Assisted Living in Gretna. In January of 2016 he was forced to move to the Life Care Center in Elkhorn.

Paul is survived by his daughter Linda and husband Allen Steward, his son Les and his wife Denise Runge. His grandchildren Kimberly Brewer, Eric and wife Amanda Steward, Becky and husband Travis Burns, Casey & Steven Stark. His great grandkids Shelby & Ellie Brewer, Zach, Katie & Brady Steward, Tyler & Emily Burns. He is survived by a brother in law Virgil Neu and a sister in law Isabel Hansen and many nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his wife Helen in 2009, a granddaughter Karla, a grandson in law Jeremy Brewer, his sisters and brother in laws Elaine & Wallace Sump, Wilma & Alvin Logemann and his twin sister Phyllis & Bill Logemann.
