Harland Robert Gumz, age 93, of Oshkosh, passed away unexpectedly on December 14, 2014. He was born on June 11, 1921, in Oshkosh, the son of Harvey and Anna Gumz. On June 30, 1951, Harland married Marian Irene Kotkosky and she preceded him in death on June 25, 2009.

Harland attended Most Blessed Sacrament Parish and Glynn Park with his family. He loved being with his family, traveling, singing, playing cards and Bingo, and was always looking for the “big catch”.
Survivors include two daughters, Carol Ann Gumz and Pamela M. Gumz both of Oshkosh; a son-in-law, Thomas R.

A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on Wednesday, December 17, 2014, at 11:00 a.m. in Most Blessed Sacrament Parish, St. Peter Catholic Church, 435 High Ave., with Reverend William Van De Kreeke officiating. Entombment will follow the service at Lake View Memorial Park. A time of visiting and sharing of memories will be held on Wednesday from 10:00 to 11:00 a.m. at the church. On line condolences to the family may be made at www.seefeldfuneral.com.
We will miss your laughter, beautiful singing voice, your always keep trying attitude, and always being there for us: your loving family, Carol Ann, Pam, and Tom.
