He was a graduate of Newton Community High School, Class of 1975 and went on to attend the University of Illinois, graduating with a bachelor\u2019s degree in Ag Economics. Paul married the love of his life and best friend, Judy Dallmier on August 4, 1979. They spent 45 years completely devoted to one another and raising their family. Together they were blessed with four children, Mark Richard, Cheryl Louise, Kurtis Paul, and Emily Marie. His wife, children, and grandchildren were his pride and joy. Paul was a loving husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend to all who knew him. Paul spent 42 years working at the Ingraham Branch of First National Bank in Olney where he was a loan officer, branch manager, and Vice President. He was a trusted advisor and his door was always open to anyone who needed a listening ear. Additionally, Paul loved animals and living on a farm. He spent many years raising hogs on his family farm. He was an incredibly talented woodworker and could fix anything. He enjoyed fishing trips to Canada, walks in the woods, and spending time with family. Countless memories were made with his loved ones in the barn and his woodshop. He always had a story to tell. His quick wit and sense of humor could lighten any room and will be dearly missed. He was a member of St. Thomas the Apostle Catholic Church, Newton, Illinois.<\/p>\n<p>Paul is survived by his wife Judy, children Mark (Stacey) Goebel of Newton, Cheryl (Chris) James of Newton, Kurtis (Shannon) Goebel of Robinson, and Emily (Scott) Esker of Teutopolis. Paul\u2019s legacy will be carried on by his nine grandchildren Gunner, Avery, Jackson, Krosby, Kwyn, Melah, Wyatt, Gannon, and Clara. Additionally, he is survived by his siblings, Jerry Goebel, Christie Murphy, Mike (Cindy) Goebel, and Chuck (Sandy) Goebel as well as in-laws Carolyn (Bob) Barthelme, George (Michele) Dallmier, Andrew Townsend, and Sylvan (Kim) Dallmier.<\/p>\n<p>Paul was preceded in death by his parents, father and mother-in-law George and Hilda Dallmier, brother Joe Goebel, and sisters-in-law Margie Townsend and L. Sue Goebel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Paul died the afternoon of Friday, December 6<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":1622,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_lmt_disableupdate":"no","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[21],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1619","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-obits"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Paul R.
