Lawrence John Wuchner
July 26, 1938 – April 17, 2019

Our dear husband, father, grand-father and friend, Lawrence Wuchner of Humboldt, SK passed away at the Humboldt and District Hospital on Wednesday April 17, 2019. He was 80 years of age. Lawrence was welcomed into this world on July 26, 1938 by his parents John and Martha (nee Held) Wuchner. He grew up on a farm 4 km Northeast of St. Gregor with 5 siblings. With a love of the land and love for animals, Lawrence dedicated his life to farming. He purchased some land and a yard-site and with the help of his brothers built a new house there in 1965. This would be where he would start a new life together with the love of his life, Sylvia Munkler of St. Gregor. They were married on July 9, 1966 and blessed with a family of 5 children. Lawrence led a busy life but always found time to help a friend or enjoy the company of others. He enjoyed a variety of activities throughout his life such as playing ball, fishing, boating, ski-dooing, working with his hands, travelling and later on daily adventures with Sylvia. His family meant the world to him. Not only was he proud of his children but was especially fond of all his grandchildren. They filled his heart with joy. Lawrence’s family would like to thank all those who were a part of his life and enjoyed time spent together laughing, playing and visiting which he thoroughly enjoyed. Lawrence will be lovingly remembered and sadly missed by his wife of 52 years Sylvia (nee Munkler) Wuchner; two sons, three daughters and nine grandchildren: James Wuchner of Kindersley, SK; David (Tanya) Wuchner of Humboldt, SK, and family Amanda (Brandon) Smith of Humboldt and Danielle (special friend Tyler Leier) of Saskatoon, SK; Gloria (Warren) Woodcock and their sons Owen and Mitchell all of Fort Nelson, BC; Joyce (Mark) Barlage and family, Breanna and Dawson all of Humboldt; June Duggleby and family Joseph, Alexander and Amber all of Calgary, AB.
