William

Laukhuf

William H. Laukhuf went to be with the Lord June 5, 2020.

After an arduous and valiant journey with leukemia, William H. Laukhuf went to be in the full presence of Jesus surrounded by family.

Born August 29, 1938 to Eli and Lola (Freshwater) Laukhuf, Bill grew up helping with the family farm. He attended business school in Fort Wayne to become an accountant and married Janice Stoller before being drafted to the military. Bill served in the U.S. Army from 1961-1963, in Fort Leonard, Missouri. Thereafter, Bill rejoined the William F. Sinn, CPA firm, becoming a partner in 1971. This business venture spanned over 5 decades. He retired as a partner of Arend, Laukhuf & Stoller, Inc. in 2014. Bill was an active member of the Rotary Club, serving in many capacities.

Bill was a seeker of wisdom and knowledge. He was an avid reader on a myriad of topics including naturalistic health, wildlife, scripture, and biographies. Another hobby he enjoyed was gardening. Bill was also a sincere conversationalist, sprinkling puns when able to generate laughter. He truly knew no stranger.

Bill was a member of the Apostolic Christian Church, devoted to several leadership positions

Bill is survived by his wife of 58 years Janice (Stoller) Laukhuf, Van Wert; children: Treva (Gary) Steele, Anchorage AK, Trenna (Tom) Elliott, Kansas City, MO, Kara (Edward) Cobb, Henderson, KY, and Laurel (David) Wolma, Grand Rapids MI; grandchildren: Elizabeth (JohnLuke) Lewis, Maria Elliott, Rebekah (Jacob) Avalos; Jordyn and Justin Steele; Ava Meena; Eisley and Syrus Wolma; sister, Barbara Boullear, Kansas City, KS, and brother and sister-in-law Doug and Joyce Laukhuf, Haviland; as well as many nephews and nieces.

We all rejoice that he is celebrating in heaven with his son Noel, his parents, and his brother Gary.

The family wants to sincerely thank all of those who were the hands and feet of Jesus by sending cards and meals to Bill during his long journey. The love expressed was greatly appreciated.

Services will be conducted 10:30 AM Monday June 8, 2020 at the Latty Apostolic Christian Church. He will be laid to rest in the Latty Apostolic Christian Church Cemetery, Paulding.

Visitation will be on Sunday from 4 – 7 PM June 7 at Den Herder Funeral Home, Paulding. In the spirit of keeping everyone healthy, the family is requesting that those attending the visitation or service observe wearing face masks and refrain from physical touch.
