About
About Wilbur Koch
I'm Wilbur Koch, a seasoned man with a wealth of life experiences. Born in 1919, I grew up on a farm in New Ulm, Minnesota, with my parents and siblings. We faced hardship during the Great Depression, losing our farm in 1932. After Pearl Harbor, I served in the US Navy, fighting against the Japanese. Post-WW2, I graduated from the University of Minnesota Twin Cities and worked as an auto-mechanic for several decades. I'm now retired, with a large family of 9 kids, 17 grandkids, and 8 great-grandkids.
