Paul Vomhof

Paul Vomhof, 64, of Fountain passed away at home on July 9, 2022, as a result of a heart attack. Paul grew up in the Christian faith and, although gone too soon, we are comforted by the knowledge that he is in Heaven sharing in the gift of eternal life.

Paul was born November 22, 1957, in Rochester to Claire and Dorene (Kohlmeyer) Vomhof. He attended St. John’s Lutheran School in Wykoff and graduated from Wykoff High School in 1976.

He married Linda Rieger on September 2, 1995, at Our Saviors Lutheran Church in Spring Valley, Minnesota.

Paul will be remembered for his thoughtfulness and his amazing memory. He remembered birthdays and made birthdays calls to friends and family 365 days a year. He remembered and repeated virtually every joke he ever heard. He had a number of different jobs, from welding to construction to selling tools, but his favorite title was that of “GrandPaul” as he was affectionately called by his grandchildren.

He is survived by his wife, Linda: daughters, Jenny (Lance) Wickland; Nan (Mark) Houle and Jolene (Roger) Scott; seven grandchildren; 10 great-grandchildren; his mother, Dorene Vomhof of Rochester: sisters, Dawn (Glen) Halvorsen of Lakeville, MN, Marion (Dan) Vomhof of La Mesa, CA, Muriel (Don) Vomhof of West Saint Paul, and Grace Adams of Eagan, MN; brothers, Larry (Deb) Vomhof of Chatfield, MN, and Dean (Cheri) Vomhof of Gillette, WY; sister-in-law, Greta Vomhof of Jacksonville, FL; and brother-in-law Jim Brown of Rochester.

He was preceded in death by his father, Claire Vomhof; brother, Lynn Vomhof, and sister, Deb Brown.

Services will be at 11 a.m. Thursday, July 14, Living Hope Community Church at Joy Ridge Event Center at 273 Mill Creek Road N.W. in Chatfield. Visitation will be from 5-7 p.m. Wednesday at Joy Ridge Event Center and one hour before the service.
