Kermit Paul Wobschall

Wobschall, Kermit P. Age 85 of Minneapolis, passed away on February 25, 2023. He will be deeply missed by his loving wife of 54 years, Maxine; brothers, Darold Wobschall and Neil (Florence) Wobschall; sister, Karen (Richard) Johnson; children, Kimberley Wobschall and Kevin (Melissa) Wobschall; and grandchildren, Ian and Caitlin Wobschall. Kermit is preceded in death by his parents, Clarence and Mabel (Schroeder) Wobschall; and sister-in-law, Katrina (Schillke) Wobschall. Kermit was born in Waseca, MN, on July 28, 1937. He graduated from Waldorf High School in 1956. He attended University of Minnesota Agriculture School for two years before joining the Army where he was stationed at Fort Dix, New Jersey, Hawaii and Japan. After the army, Kermit graduated with a business major from Mankato State University. He married Maxine Balstad on August 17, 1968. After college, he held a variety of jobs, including being a maintenance worker, security guard and retiring from Minneapolis Public Schools as a custodial engineer. Kermit enjoyed fishing, hunting, and being outdoors. He also enjoyed airplanes, photography and traveling. He was proud to climb Mount Fuji and he brought home a walking stick from that trip. He visited all but four states of the United States and his trip celebrating retirement was a ten day land and sea cruise to Alaska. He enjoyed westerns and what is now known as old time radio shows. After retiring, he enjoyed watching reality tv, keeping lists of where people visited on The Amazing Race. When he went to Branson, Missouri, he really enjoyed dining at a restaurant where former American Idol stars served as employees and sang. He and Maxine would usually eat pizza at Divanni's Pizza And Hot Hoagies with their daughter once a week, but they would go to Applebee's on special occasions. His favorite restaurant was Burger King, but he never used the drive-thru, always preferring to dine inside the restaurant. Kermit was a quiet man, but his silence was usually a comfortable one. When he answered questions in the affirmative, he usually said, "I suppose." He appreciated good stories, especially those with humor. He was patient and was slow to anger. He will be missed. Visitation on Sunday, March 12, from 4-7 PM, funeral service Monday, March 13, at 11 AM with visitation one hour prior all at Washburn-McReavy Edina Chapel (5000 W. 50th St., Edina). In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to a national park. Interment Lakewood Cemetery. Condolences: Washburn-McReavy.com Edina Chapel 952-920-3996
