Obituary
Paul graduated from Wisconsin Lutheran High School in 1955, and then attended the University of Missouri – Rolla where he earned an engineering degree. He went on to earn a PHD in Metallurgical Engineering from Lehigh University. Paul developed and patented AF1410, a high-alloy, low-carbon steel known for its high strength, toughness, and stress corrosion resistance used in aerospace applications while working at General Dynamics/Fort Worth Division. Paul went on to work at Snap-On Tools in Kenosha where he was the Manager of Materials and Process Engineering.
Paul was a devoted husband, loving father and grandfather. Paul was passionate about water skiing, tennis, and shooting trap, but his real love was hunting. He hunted all over the world with family members and friends in Australia, South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Tanzania.
Paul attended Trinity Lutheran Church where he served as an elder for many years. He is preceded in death by his parents Martin and Ethel Machmeier and his sister Lois Franke (Machmeier). Paul is survived by his wife Catherine Patricia Machmeier, his son Clay Machmeier, daughter in-law Chassidy Machmeier, step-son Eric Bushnell, daughter in-law Carsha Bushnell, nephew Kurt Franke, niece Karen Franke, and grandkids Aliya and Mia Machmeier and newly arrived grandson Jordan Bushnell. He will be truly missed!
