Lawrence Wagner
Lawrence Wagner was born November 20, 1916 at Pangman. He was the third of five children, the oldest was his half-brother, Phillip and sister Lena, then Lawrence followed by two sisters, Anne and Betty. Lawrence was predeceased by his parents, Anton and Barbara Wagner; his sister, Lena Hollerback, brother-in-law, John Hollerback; brother, Phillip Wagner; sister, Betty Wagner; brother-in-law, Louis Colbow and niece, Julienne Janz. Lawrence lived on the family farm most of his life. He attended school at Khedive then returned to farming, living on the family farm until moving into the Deep South Personal Care Home. Lawrence never married. He was a born farmer and took his vocation very seriously. He grew grain and raised livestock all the years on the farm. Every animal on the farm had a name, probably based on its disposition or some other characteristic. Throughout his life he delivered cream, milk and eggs to his many customers in Pangman who eagerly awaited his arrival usually on a Saturday evening. In the early years, the delivery was done with a horse and cart. In the later years, he finally bought a car which speeded up the delivery process and he expanded his deliveries to a few customers at Weyburn. Life became a lot more manageable after they built the new house in the early 60's. Lawrence loved baseball and hockey. In the early 50's the family used to go to the farm on many Sundays and after the chickens were butchered and cleaned for dinner, they always had to have a game of ball. When he got older, his baseball and hockey were restricted to watching the Toronto Maple Leafs, Toronto Blue Jays and Saskatchewan Roughriders on television, spending many hours right up until his passing watching sports. Lawrence had a brief stint in the army shortly before World War II ended. There was one thing that Lawrence was extremely proud of, and that was the Family Farm Heritage Award which was given by the Province of Saskatchewan to honor a family farm which had been continuously operated by members of the same family since 1905. The award was given in 1980. He also had an aerial picture taken of the farm, of which he was equally proud. Lawrence loved to play cards and tell stories. Lawrence moved from the farm to the Deep South Personal Care Home in 1998, but he missed his life on the farm and his close neighbors, the Kaufmanns. While in the Care Home, Lawrence made many close friends, especially one, Agnes Madigan, who accompanied him on a few sight seeing tours around the countryside. It has been said that the staff of the Care Home were all very special friends, who at one time or another, swapped a good joke or story. Lawrence will be dearly missed by all who knew him. Prayers were said Sunday, January 22, at 7:00 p.m. from Holy Angel's Roman Catholic Church, Pangman. The funeral mass was held Monday, January 23 at 10:30 a.m. from Holy Angel's Roman Catholic Church, Pangman with Father Francis "Prince" Kurisinkal Celebrant. Interment followed in Pangman Cemetery. Donations may be made in memory of Lawrence to the Deep South Personal Care Home, Pangman, Sask. or to a charity of the donor's choice. Arrangements were entrusted to Fletcher Funeral Chapels Ltd., Weyburn and Radville, (842-5432 & 869-2566)
