Stanley George Langkammer of Humboldt, SK, passed away on August 10, 2015, at Humboldt. He was 72 years of age. Stan, the oldest of three children, was born on August 27, 1942, to Paul and Clara (nee Schreiner) Langkammer. He grew up on the farm north of Humboldt. Stan took his first two years of school at Burton Lake School. The family moved to Humboldt in 1950 where he took the rest of his schooling through grade 12. As a youngster, he pedalled around town delivering the Star Phoenix and also picked up odd jobs cleaning up at construction sites. Stan was also an altar boy at the time that Fr. Al was the priest and enjoyed their yearly party out at St. Peter’s from the money they collected at weddings from the groom. After his schooling, he got a job working in Humboldt for Canada Post as a clerk. He worked there for 34 years until his retirement in 1997. On the side, after hours from work, Stan helped his brother Arnold drill water wells in various areas of Saskatchewan. Stan served as secretary of the Stoney Lake Association for a few years. He also became active in the Humboldt Gun Club, helping with construction of the club house, shooting trap, and went into competing with big bore hand guns in Saskatchewan and Alberta. He enjoyed hunting with rifle, shotgun black powder and bow hunting for all species of big game and water fowl. The highlight was a fly-in camp at True North Safaris, Mackay Lake, NWT, where he shot caribou and caught lake trout. Over the years, Stan also helped his uncle and cousin on the farm, especially at harvest time, lending a hand where ever needed. In retirement, Stan pursued his interest in gardening and plants. He and his sister, Dianne frequented greenhouses each spring in search of the best plants. In 2013, an old injury came back to haunt him. As a teenager, a hit and run driver hit him while out walking with a group of young people. He went through several surgeries as well as daily repacking of the old injury.Ìý Fortunately Stan was an avid reader, so it helped to fill the time.Ìý Through this time, Stan never failed to show his appreciation for the care he was given. Stanley will be missed by his sister Dianne, and numerous friends and relatives. He was predeceased by his father, Paul Langkammer; mother, Clara (Langkammer) Eastman; two brothers: Arnold Langkammer (December 8, 2009), and a brother in infancy; and by step-father, Earl Eastman and his family. A private family graveside service will be held at a later date. Schuler-Lefebvre Funeral Chapel, Humboldt, SK.Ìý Ìý
