This is Kari Schwartz's Dad. He passed away recently.
We got to spend time with Kari's parents at her and Ryan's wedding, and several times when they came down to Wichita. Paul was a very friendly, warm and funny person. His band, the Peter and Paul Wendinger band, was and is one of the most respected polka bands in the country. (Believe me, the folks up north take the polka seriously.) Paul and his brother were inducted into the Minnesota Music Hall of Fame in 2007, along with 5 other inductees, one of which was Prince. (Yes, the artist formerly known as.)
As if he could get any cooler, he was a farmer too. He will be missed.

I think Kari looks a little like him.
