Bio
Henry B. "Hank" Wilson Jr., 76, of Loup City died Thursday, Dec. 23, 2010, at Brookstone Meadows in Elkhorn. Hank was born Aug. 28, 1934, to Alma (Elrod) and Henry J. Wilson Sr. Hank was preceded in death by his wife, Eleanor. Survivors are: son, Roger Wilson of Tucson, Ariz.; daughters and a son-in-law, Lou Ann and Mike Goding of Omaha and Roseann of Loup City; brother and sister-in-law, Dick and Donna Wilson of Kearney; grandchildren, Ryan, John and Grant Goding and Jarod and Jenna Wilson; brother-in-law and sister-in-law, Ray and Rita Gembala of Kearney; brother-in-law, Jim Gembala of Loup City; sisters-in-law, Irene Klausen of Rockville and Clarice Wienke of Firth. Hank the younger of two children was born on at the old hospital in Loup City on Eighth Street. The family lived west of Loup City until his junior high years when they moved to Cheyenne, Wyo. They returned to Loup City during his high school years and Henry graduated from Loup City High School in 1952. After farming with Henry Sr. for several years, he served in the Army from January 1955 through January of 1957. Upon leaving the Army, he returned to Loup City to the farm where he made his home with his wife, Eleanor (Gembala) whom he married on Oct. 6, 1962. They had three children, Lou Ann, Roger and Roseann. Hank and Eleanor farmed and ranched starting out raising the Herefords which were his dad's favorites. The Herefords gave way to Black Baldies but in 1986 he fell in love with the Charolais breed and that lead to the development of the West Fork Ranch. The ranch grew and later they added Red Angus to the mix. Henry was known by most as "Hank" or "Junior" and most of all as a hard worker. Hank was also preceded in death by his parents.
