Hultman, Wynn “Papa” (17 April 1949 – 15 December 2016)

Wynn “papa” Hultman, 67, passed away Dec. 15, 2016, at his home in Merrillan.

Wynn was born April 17, 1949, in Hinsdale, IL, and grew up in Downers Grove, IL, where he met his wife and they raised their family. Wynn retired in 2009 and they moved up to Merrillan. Wynn was a hard-working, honest, loyal family man who always made his wife and family his first priority. His wife, two daughters and six granddaughters cherished him immensely. Wynn loved fishing on his pontoon, working in his yard with his good friend Chuck Koran, drinking Old Style, bonfires in his back yard, fishing with his granddaughters, watching football, the Chicago Bears, being at The Mug when the Packers lost so he could harass everyone, the Chicago Cubs winning the World Series, working with Cindy painting her Victorian house, he loved when Beth drove anywhere instead of Mary, he enjoyed seeing Alyssa, Shaun and his two great-grandsons – being happy there were finally boys around, he loved spending time with Kai doing anything away from off of the estrogen, he loved to take his family on trips to Disney World, taking Mary to Stones Throw on Thursday nights, crossword puzzles, playing solitaire, watching westerns, watching FOX News and his favorite things was being at home by his fireplace with Mary and Lolli (his puppy dog).

He is survived by his wife, Mary; two daughters, Beth (Edward) Lebak of Davie, FL, and Cindy (Kai) Moseid of Neillsville. Wynn always said his sons-in-law were the sons he never had – he loved them as sons. He is also survived by six grandchildren, Alyssa (Shaun), Lindsey (Jesse), Kellie, Kaia, Ellie, and Cali; two great-grandchildren: Gavin and Kayden; his parents, a brother and two sisters, five sisters-in-law and countless nieces, nephews, and close friends.

He was preceded in death by his grandparents and his mother-in-law and father-in-law.

Wynn has requested that there be no service. He also requested that in lieu of flowers, “donations to be made to his wife of 50 years for unforeseen medical expense.” Mary Hultman, N9459 Arbutus Lane, Merrillan, WI 54754.
