Dr. Victor Carl Hurtig, Jr. DVM, 80, resident of Courtland, KS, passed away peacefully at home surrounded by his wife and four children on Tuesday, June 30th, 2020.&nbsp; He was born February 14th, 1940, in Concordia, KS, to Dr. Victor Carl Hurtig, Sr. and Eula Mae Celeste (Anderson) Hurtig.

As a young child, Victor loved to play on the floor at the back door, and listen to his father talk to Veterinary clients who came to the house... thus the start of his path of becoming a Veterinarian just like his own father. He grew up riding down country roads with his father on innumerable veterinary calls, wearing holes in the passenger seat with his feet standing to see all that was going on. &nbsp;

Victor was an All-Star High School athlete of Courtland High School, playing 6 man football, basketball, and track. Victor held the state record for the longest javelin throw at 198 ft., He graduated from Courtland High School in 1958. &nbsp;

Victor enrolled at Kansas State University in 1958 to fulfill his lifelong dream of being a Veterinarian. He was a college track athlete. After a bout of both Rheumatic fever and Mononucleosis causing a slight pause in his trajectory, he graduated from the College of Veterinary Medicine in 1966 along with the “fearless foursome”, and many dear Veterinary friends he still held close to this day.

Victor found the love of his life when a cute cheerleader from Kackley arrived at his door with her injured dog. He then proceeded to make house calls to check on the animal daily. Once he found the number to call, 2866, Carlene accepted the date, and off they went to the drive in theater. This began a life of love together filled with adventures and fun times. Victor and Carlene spent a lot of time waterskiing on Lovewell Lake, and even some irrigation canals. Carlene was studying at Fort Hays State University, but was quickly convinced to attend Kansas State University by Victor.There they spent many nights dancing and enjoying hot fudge sundaes. Victor started his racing career early on the streets of Manhattan to get Carlene back by curfew to the Kappa Delta sorority house. Once his studies were completed, Victor graduated on June 5th,and then married the love of his life, Carlene on the following Sunday, June 12th, 1966.&nbsp; To this union five children were born.&nbsp; Sarah Elizabeth Hurtig (deceased), Natalie Ann Hurtig, Edward Carl Hurtig, Melissa Mae Boisseau, and Victor Carl Hurtig, III “Trey”.

Victor invested and devoted his life into his career, community and family.&nbsp; The Hurtig family made their lifelong home in Courtland area. Together, “Doc” and “Vic, Jr” practiced veterinary medicine together, establishing The Hurtig Veterinary Clinic as a staple of the community from 1926-2014. Victor serviced both large and small animals in the area. He also helped train numerous interns, welcoming and hosting them into their home and mentored them as future vets.&nbsp; Practicing Veterinary medicine for 48 years, Victor was a Member of the Kansas Veterinary Medical Association, served on the Board of Examiners, and was a lifetime member of the American Veterinary Medical Association.

Victor will be remembered as a visionary and pillar of the community. His tremendous investments of his time and his resources began in the 70s when he and other community leaders went in and donated the land for, and subsequently created, the Courtland Swimming Pool, Mini Park, Tennis Courts, and Basketball courts. Victor also helped to reconstruct the Courtland Baseball Field and Crow’s Nest. Victor‘s initiatives were pivotal in helping to renovate the Courtland Community Center, the City Hall, and the Library. Victor also was instrumental in establishing the Sunflower Manor Senior Citizen Center. Serving as President of the Pride Club and on the Courtland Arts Council for many years, Victor took pride in serving leadership positions in the community. Victor’s leadership extended to the Ada Lutheran Church Council, on the School Board as President and member for many years, and was a 49 year member of the Elks.

Victor’s spare time included numerous hobbies mostly centered around his family. He and his wife became certified licensed pilots in 1971/1972. As members of the Belleville Flying Club, Victor and Carlene routinely took all 5 kids in their airplane for many midwest adventures.&nbsp; Victor’s need for speed then translated to the racetrack in the late 80s where he decoratively raced IMCA Modified, Mini Stock and Cruisers on dirt tracks across Kansas and Nebraska.

A passion for both water and snow skiing was a skill Victor personally enjoyed and in turn instilled in his 5 children and all 9 grandchildren. He loved boating at Lovewell Lake. On the slopes, his family fondly recalls Victor leisurely skiing backwards down many a ski slope with a video camera in hand and his signature cowboy hat.&nbsp; Every Christmas for well over the last decade, Victor gathered his entire family on the ski slopes for family fun and memories. Other hobbies he shared with his family included raising cattle, golf, carpentry, gardening, and landscaping. His family cherished his artistic side as well enjoying his photography, cartooning and wood carving.

A devoted Kansas State fan, Victor started a tailgating tradition with his family in the early 80s in the gravel parking lot outside of the football stadium with his kids that spans 3 generations, and continues on today with his grandchildren.&nbsp; He was Founder &amp; President of the Beaver Creek Social Club, and with his bride are Lifetime members of the Kansas State Alumni Association. &nbsp;

One of Victor’s most epic, endearing, and unique qualities was that of his storytelling. He was a man of humor, and will be remembered for incredible stories ranging from pulling calves to UFOs, flying his plane amidst unpredictable Kansas weather and many wild Vegas adventures.&nbsp;

In his retirement, Victor enjoyed KSU football, Las Vegas, taxidermy, gardening, caring for his backyard oasis that he created to entertain family &amp; friends and traveling to see grandchilden’s activities that he was so very proud of. &nbsp;

He was preceded in death by his parents, sisters: Carol Hurtig Copening and Virginia Hurtig Henson, and daughter, Sarah Elizabeth Hurtig.

He is survived by his wife of 54 years Carlene Elizabeth Hurtig; daughter, Natalie Ann Hurtig and Steve Dearholt of Steamboat Springs, CO; son, Edward Carl Hurtig and Megan Hurtig of Linwood, KS; daughter, Melissa Mae Boisseau and Justin Boisseau of Rye, NY; son, Victor Carl Hurtig, III “Trey” and Jane Hurtig of Olathe, KS; Grandchildren: Hayden Hurtig, Hudson Hurtig, Dalton Boisseau, Eva Hurtig, Rocklan Boisseau, Alana Boisseau, Hunter Hurtig, Violet Hurtig and Adler Boisseau.

The family is grieving privately and are holding an intimate, private funeral service on the family farm, with a burial immediately following at Ada Lutheran Cemetary.

Jay Puckett died, suddenly, at his home outside Council Grove Saturday evening the June 27, 2020. He was 74 years old. Services will be Wednesday July 1, 2020 at 8pm at the shelter house of First Baptist Church. Dress is casual, bring your own chair or blanket and bug spray. No flowers please, memorial contributions to First Baptist Church for improvement and maintenance of the church grounds.

Jay Dean Puckett was born June 12, 1946 in Garrison, Kansas to Jessie Dial and Gerald Puckett. His childhood was spent on his parents’ farm in the company of his sister, Mimi, and numerous cousins. A farm accident caused him to spend time in Kansas City, Mo at St Luke’s Hospital and forced him inside where he picked up a love of reading. The family spent some time in Nevada before returning to Kansas where Jay graduated from St. George High School before going on to attend Kansas State University to study mechanical engineering. He spent time in Wichita driving race cars, both on an oval track and drag racing. At this time he drove freight for Mistletoe Express. After returning to Manhattan he worked for Byers construction. As a young man Jay helped build his parents’ house at Tuttle creek Reservoir with his father and uncle Don. He spent time in the Yukon Territory of Canada where his sister Mimi settled. He helped her and her family build a house and clear land there.

In 1979 Jay married Elaine Campbell and moved to Waverly, Kansas. He continued to work construction, building road bridges and commercial projects. In 1982 the growing family moved to their current address outside Council Grove. Jay partnered with Bill Downes creating BJ Construction. Jay soon began work on a house for his family. Building after work mostly on his own he finished the current family home in 1997. BJ Construction handled residential building and remodeling in and around Council Grove until Bill moved to Colorado in 1990. After this Jay continued to work freelance until he retired in 2008. Jay supported his children in their 4-H pursuits by serving on the fair board. Around 2000 he, Elaine and Quinten began attending First Baptist Church of Council Grove. Jay went on to serve as a trustee and more recently as a deacon.

Jay enjoyed the outdoors, hunting, and fishing. His dad took Jay fishing on the Blue River at a very young age and the sport was a lifelong passion that he enjoyed as often as he could, especially after retirement. He joined his cousin Larry Abell for elk hunting trips in the bitterroot wilderness in Idaho for over 20 years. Jay also hunted whitetail deer closer to home. He enjoyed bird hunting and kept and trained German Shorthair Pointers for a time. Jay’s other big love was reading. This began as a boy when he read the entire encyclopedia while convalescing and grew into a love that was passed to his daughters. Jay enjoyed reading about history, particularly WWII, and adventures true and fiction.

Jay is survived by his sister Mimi Elliot of Dawson City, Yukon, Canada; his wife Elaine Puckett of Council Grove; Daughters Amber Kovac (Nathan) of Prairie Village and Tara Thomsen (Dave) of Ft Hood, Texas; Son Quinten Puckett of Holton; and five granddaughters: Danica, Harlow, and Thea Thomsen and Cora and Wendy Kovac.

Diana Gale (Greenlee) Stutzman passed June 26, 2020. She was born April 25, 1957 in Denver, Colorado to Edger and Emma Greenlee. Growing up in Scott City, Kansas, Diane was the youngest of four children. She showed a passion for animals early on, and when not helping her mother in their floral shop, could often be found feeding the neighborhood stray cats and claiming them as her own. Participating in athletics and cheerleading, Diane graduated from Scott City High School in 1975. Immediately after, she began work as a legal aid for the local District Attorney’s office. Diane married in 1976 and began her family, giving birth to first a daughter, Jessica in 1977, and later a son, Daniel in 1981. Settling in Salina, Kansas, she spent several years putting her office skills to use working for ADM, owned by Smoot Grain Co., before choosing what became an extensive career in Retail Management. Wanting to be closer to the mountains and her mother, Diane moved to Colorado Springs, Colorado in 2006, where she remained until her death. It was there that she met the love of her life, Dennis, remarrying in a picturesque ceremony on May 5, 2012. Together they enjoyed motorcycle rides through the mountains, Sunday afternoon football, and time spent with family. Diane could often be heard bragging on her six grandchildren, for whom she cherished and adored. Always selfless, Diane chose the wonderful gift of organ donation and her family happily obliged. Diane was preceded in death by her father, Edger Greenlee (Scott City, Kansas); and mother, Emma Neeland (Colorado Springs, Colorado). She is survived by her husband, Dennis Stutzman (Colorado Springs, Colorado); daughter, Jessica (Sean) Kindlesparger (Salina, Kansas); son, Daniel (Sarah) Elmore (Wichita, Kansas); stepson, Courtney Stutzman (Indianapolis, Indiana); and stepdaughter, Megan Stutzman (Colorado Springs, Colorado); grandchildren, Morgan, Hunter and Dakota Kindlesparger (Jessica), Cooper Elmore (Daniel), McKenzie Stutzman (Courtney), Damon and Brian Stutzman (Megan); sisters, Nancy Greenlee (Lee's Summit, Missouri), Becky (Mike) Stoppel (Holcomb, Kansas); and brother, John Greenlee (Austin, Texas); and many beloved nieces, nephews and cousins.

Jane Mary "Janie" Riggs entered into eternal rest on Saturday, June 27, at the Lindsborg Community Hospital.  She was born on October 18, 1942, at Kingman, Kansas, the only child of Robert Valentine and Mary Genevieve Goetz Bock.  Spending her early years on the family farm, her closest associates and friends were farm animals, particularly cats, of which she would have many fond memories.  Beloved wife, mother, and grandmother, she was kind and friendly to everyone she met.  After leaving the farm, Janie was raised in Kingman, KS, where she graduated from Kingman High School.  Following high school, she graduated from the Cliff Mann School of Floral Design at Denver, Colorado, and also attended St. Mary of the Plains College, Hutchinson Junior College, and Kansas State University.

She was a loving mother and a truly generous human being who touched many over the course of her life, leaving a lasting legacy of love and devotion.  She was a staunch patriot and a true and devoted friend to all children and cats.  Janie served on the election board in Lindsborg, Kansas, for a number of years.  She also donated her time, collecting contributions for The American Heart Society, for over a decade.  She operated a daycare service from which many of "her kids" graduated from high school with honors, a fact of which she was very proud.  Following this, she became the lead cook and baker at Smoky Valley High School before having to take medical retirement due to recurrent breast cancer.
