Obituary for Wayne Jon Carol Munson
Wayne Jon Carol Munson, 83, passed away peacefully on Sunday, December 22, 2019. Wayne was born May 19, 1936 to Andrew and Mildred Munson in Erskine, Mn, the oldest of 6 boys.
Wayne joined the Air Force at the age of 17, in 1954 and served for 4 years as an Air Fueler. He met his beautiful bride, Janette Elizabeth Hansen, after leaving the Air Force in 1959 and they were married in July, 1960 in North Dakota.
Wayne worked as a cost accountant at Trane Company in La Crosse. He remained there for 25 years, until he retired in 1989. Wayne loved to spend time with family and friends, working in the yard, had a love for animals and nature and of course cheering on his favorite teams Mn Vikings and NDSU Bison.
He loved making everyone laugh and smile. Sometimes he had a difficult time finishing a joke because he’d be laughing so hard, knowing what the punch line was going to be.
Dad, you were dearly loved and we are going to miss you terribly. But are comforted knowing, we will see you again. From now until then, you will live on in our hearts.
Preceded in death by Parents Andrew and Mildred Munson and brothers Dennis and Warren.
