Curt Hagele – Obituary
It is with great sadness that the family of Dr. W. Curt Hagele announce his passing on June 4th, 2022, at age 77. Curt was born in Springfield, Illinois, in 1945. He graduated from the University of Illinois in 1969 with his Doctor of Veterinary Medicine. That same year, he married Sandy Danley, of Peoria, Illinois. In 1972, Curt and Sandy moved to Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, where he worked at the Western College of Veterinary Medicine as a clinician in the Field Service unit. From there, Curt went on to direct the Saskatoon Embryo

Transplant Unit. It was here that he became a specialist in bovine embryo transplanting. In 1987, Curt established his own practice, Embryonics Canada Inc. His expertise in the field of embryo transplanting allowed him the opportunity to travel the world, educating abroad and promoting Canadian cattle genetics.
While semi-retired from physical vet work, Curt joined the Saskatchewan Veterinary Medical Association. From 1995 to 2010, he held the role of Registrar. In 2010, the SVMA honored Curt with the Veterinarian of the Year Award.
Curt’s hobbies included painting cars, hunting, fishing, travelling, raising his small purebred cattle herd, which was called Farkleberry Farms, and attending cattle shows with his children. He absolutely cherished the annual fishing trip with his brother Bernie and close friends. Curt was a proud father and grandpa. He particularly loved watching his grandchildren at dance recitals or playing hockey and ball. He had a brilliant mind, perhaps just used it all too soon.
Left to remember Curt is his son Eric Hagele (Barb), daughter Michelle Scherman (Trevor), grandchildren Carmen & Dustin Hagele, Levi & Hayley Scherman, sister-in-law Babetta Tock, and several nieces and nephews. Curt was predeceased by his wife Sandy Hagele.
