John R. Fujan, 79 of Wahoo, NE, entered into eternal rest on Wednesday, March 25, 2015 in Lincoln. He was born January 11, 1936 in rural Raymond, NE to Ferdinand and Veronica (Pokorny) Fujan. John graduated from Wahoo High School. On June 12, 1954, he was united in marriage to Delores Barry. John worked hard for 42 years for Northern Natural Gas, retiring as a district manager.
John was a member of St. Wenceslaus Catholic Church and the Knights of Columbus. He was a passionate duck hunter his entire life and he always enjoyed his time at the cabin on the river hunting with friends. He had many memories at Smokie L Lake with his family and he loved watching his grandchildren’s sporting events. John also enjoyed golfing, polka music, ballroom dancing, the Huskers, and having coffee with friends.
He is survived by wife of 60 years, Delores Fujan; children, Char (Lee) Grossnicklaus of Shelby, NE, Ron (Kathy) Fujan of Sioux Falls, SD, Chris (Tangmo) Fujan of Wahoo, and Kristan Fujan and special friend Paul Keeney of Lincoln; grandchildren, Andrea Hanson, Niki (Troy) Emmons, Ben (Kelsey Ann) Fujan, Kelsey (Todd) Alberty, Jared Wyman, Abbey Fujan, Morgan Kuklis, Brockman Fujan; and great-grandchildren, Avery Thatcher, Shane & Boyd; sister, Mary Ann Votipta of Exeter, NE; sister-in-law, Edna Fujan of Lincoln.
He was preceded in death by his parents; brothers, Fred Fujan, George Fujan, and Bohumil Fujan; sisters, Alice Furasek and Gerry Pulanuk.
Mrs. Fujan & family, I first met John in 1976 while on a safety committee from lincoln nebraska for the gas company. I worked for several months in the early 80’s in the Norfolk office replacing russ sila on an exchange training program. Enjoyed being in many meetings and going to the Minneapolis headquarters for meetings with John. John had a very good sense of humor and was always fun to be around. He will be missed!
sincerely,

I hunted with John up on the river west of Morris Bluff at green head lodge. In total I hunted with him over 6 seasons. I deeply regret I did not here of his passing in time to attend his funeral. He was a wonderful man, and I will always remember the great times we had. He was truly in his element on the river, and I can still here him say” Get ready boys, here they come”. He will be missed by all his hunting comrades. A truly caring individual that brightened everyone’s life he came into. I will miss you John.
God Bless
