Wilbur will be remembered as a gentle kindly man to both family and to his many students who fondly called him "Doc". Wilbur was born near the farming community of Clutier, Iowa to Agnes and William J. Chrudimsky. In his early youth he attended rural schools, graduating from Clutier High School, and enrolling at Iowa State University in agricultural studies. In 1953 his education was interrupted by serving his country in the army as a communication controller for SHAPE in France. Following his military service he was self-employed as a TV and radio repairman and also helped his parents on the family farm. In 1960 he continued his university education receiving his B.S. degree in agronomy from Iowa State University. While in college he married Dorothy Podhajsky, who became his lifelong companion of 50 years. Wilbur earned his M..S. and Ph.D. degrees from Oklahoma State University and joined the faculty at Illinois State University where he taught for 30 years. As a dedicated teacher he received various awards including the Honorary Holbert Achievement Award in 2003. He was active as advisor of the Agricultural Club and mentored the Soil Judging Team for many years. Wilbur created an outdoor crops plot on the university farm which featured over 100 different crops and plants, and served as an outstanding teaching tool for both university students and local high school students as well as a tourist attraction in Normal, Illinois. Throughout Wilbur's life he pursued various interests which included photography, and all things electronic in his early years. Always a lover of nature he enjoyed gardening, plant and insect identification, birding and hiking. Basketball and football were his favorite sports, and occasionally he enjoyed bowling and a good game of chess.
