Stuart Charles Wulf, 80, of Elkhorn, passed away peacefully in his home surrounded by his family on Jan. 10, 2020.
Stu was born Dec. 31, 1939, in Chicago, to the late LeRoy and Katheryn Wulf. On May 21, 1965, he was united in marriage in Chicago to his beloved wife, Linda Zank, of Neillsville. They lived in Chicago for four years before moving and building their home in Elkhorn.
He served in the National Guard for six years. He worked at Enamel Steel & Sign Company in Chicago from the time he was 18 until he moved to Elkhorn in May 1969. He worked as an assembler at A.O. Smith in Elkhorn for 15 years and was then employed with the Elkhorn Area School District as a custodian for 15 years, retiring in 2001.
Stu had several hobbies and interests. He enjoyed anything to do with history, and also loved to read. Stu was a talented artist and enjoyed painting on canvas and was able to share his work with family and friends. He was also a jack-of-all-trades and loved the challenge of figuring out how to fix anything. He enjoyed restoring Triumph motorcycles, working on cars and carpentry. He loved to ride his bicycle, spend time with his grandkids, take walks and even jog from time to time. Stu had a wonderful sense of humor and was loved by so many.
His greatest enjoyment was spending time with his family. Stu was a loving and devoted husband, father and grandfather. He will be deeply missed by his wife of 54 years, Linda; his children, Lori (Ken) Reynolds of Elkhorn and Randi (Nikki) Wulf of Elkhorn; his grandchildren, Brent and Jenell Reynolds and Shannon and Megan Wulf; his brother, Wayne (Lynda) Wulf of Elkhorn; and many nieces and nephews.
Stu was preceded in death by his parents and brother, George.
A gathering of family and friends to celebrate Stu’s life will take place Saturday, Jan. 18, from noon to 4 p.m. at Evergreen Country Club, N6246 Hwy. 12 in Elkhorn.
