Paul A. Spolsdoff

The family of Paul A. Spolsdoff is saddened to announce the passing of their father on Aug. 10, 2024, at the age of 95.

Paul was born on Feb. 25, 1929, to Alex and Anna Spolsdoff in Kerman, Calif.

He was married to his loving wife, Phyllis, in 1953 and were married for 61 years until her passing in 2014.

He is survived by his four children: Paul Jr., George, Alex and lovely daughter, Tanya, as well as nine grandchildren and 12 great grandchildren.

Family was truly always Paul's passion in his life. He worked tirelessly to provide a stable and secure foundation for his family.

After 50 years of farming, he sold his farm in the Semitropic area west of Wasco. However, retirement was not an option. He spent the remaining 20 years of his life continuing to work on the family farm in Kerman, which is still currently producing today.

At the nightly dinner table, Paul loved playing board games with his family. He created long lasting memories that will never fade away. He has built a strong bond of unity among his children.

His legacy will never be forgotten.

Graveside services will be held on Saturday, Aug. 24, at 10 a.m. at Shafter Memorial Park. Visitation will be held on Friday, Aug. 23, from 5 to 8 p.m. at Shafter Molokan Church, 29321 Merced Ave.
