Paul Anthony Oreskovich passed away Wednesday evening at Genesis Health Care.   He was born in Butte Sunday, June 7, 1931 to Michael and Milka (Krmpotich) Oreskovich.   He attended the Harrison School and Butte High.   Paul enjoyed growing up and spending his youth on Butte’s East Side.   Paul worked as a motor man at various Butte mines.

      He and his brother Michael lived together as bachelors for 30 years until Michael’s death on April 6, 1992.   After Michael’s death Paul moved to the Columbus Plaza and resided there for 22 years until he had to move to the Genesis in 2016.

      Paul is survived by his sister and brother-in-law, Millie and Bill Roskilly who looked after him following Michael’s passing.   He is also survived by several nieces and nephews.

      His remains are in Wayrynen-Richards Funeral Home where friends may call beginning Monday morning after 11 o’clock.   Funeral services will be conducted Monday afternoon at 1 o’clock in the funeral home with Father Bill Dornbos officiating.   Interment will be in Holy Cross Cemetery.

      The family would like to thank the staff of Genesis for all their kindness to Paul, and suggest any memorials in Paul’s memory be made to the Butte Food Bank or to a charity of the donor’s choice.   Express condolences at www.wayrynen-richards.com.
