Yesterday, on July 2, 2026, our community lost a truly special person. It is with deep sadness that we share the passing of Karl Paetschke husband, father, patriarch and owner.
For so many years, he welcomed everyone through the doors of The Fish Place with kindness, warmth, and a smile that made every guest feel like family. The restaurant was more than just a place to eat—it was a gathering place built on hard work, generosity, and genuine care for the community.
We extend our heartfelt condolences to Karl Paetschke’s family, friends, staff, and everyone whose life was touched by him. The memories created, friendships made, and lives impacted will never be forgotten.
Please keep the family and the entire Fish Place family in your thoughts during this difficult time.
A celebration of Life will be held in the future to celebrate his life.
