Thomas Joseph Wencl was born March 1, 1947, in Owatonna to Paul and Angeline (Matejcek) Wencl. He grew up in Medford and graduated with the Medford High School Class of 1965. After high school, he attended Austin Community College and then Mankato State University, graduating with a Bachelor of Science degree in accounting in 1969. He began his career as an accountant at Owatonna Manufacturing Company and continued there until he began his own business Wencl Tax and Specialty Personnel Services in the early 80's. Thomas married Jean Adams on September 3, 1994, at Trinity Lutheran Church of Owatonna. In 2016, he sold his accounting business. Thomas also farmed throughout his life.
Thomas enjoyed music and played the tuba in several local old-time bands. He enjoyed farming and collecting toy tractors. Most of all, he really loved visiting with people and going to coffee with friends.
He is survived by his wife, Jean; sister Barbara Wencl, St. Paul; brothers Paul Wencl and Greg (Patti) Wencl, both of Medford; and many nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by his parents, and brother-in-law Ray Gulden.
