Minor, Nicholas “Nick” Dale (12 October 1948 – 14 June 2022)
Nicholas Minor, age 73, of Granton, died Tuesday, June 14, 2022, at the
Marshfield Medical Center in Marshfield.
Nicholas Dale Minor was born on October 12, 1948, in Marshfield, the son of
Wallace and Opal (Knapp) Minor. He attended Pittsville area schools and was
united in marriage to Nancy O’Keefe. Nick worked as a heavy equipment operator
for most of his life; for 20 years he worked for Heuer Bros. Construction out of
Dexterville, and he retired from Mashuda Contractors out of Princeton, in 2011
at the age of 65. Nancy died on October 6, 1996, and recently Nick married his
long-time friend and partner, Nancy Kane.
Nick was a member of the International Union of Operating Engineers Local 139.
He loved hunting and fishing and keeping his yard perfectly groomed. He enjoyed
watching the Brewers and Packers and had seen every episode of Gunsmoke 500
times over! Nick had a keen sense of humor, and those that knew him were well
aware of this.
He is survived by his wife, Nancy, two sons, Gary (Peggy Van Gorden) Minor and
Eric “Arthur” Minor both of Granton, two grandchildren, Tara and Bill Minor both
of Granton, four siblings, Pat (Marlene) Minor of Pittsville, Susan (Wally)
Freund of Marshfield, Kevin Minor of Pittsville, and Terry (Sandy) Minor of
Wisconsin Rapids.
He was preceded in death by his first wife, Nancy, a son, Jon Minor in 2007, his
parents, and a sister, Gail Minor.
A private family memorial service will be held at this time, and a celebration
of life service, for the public, will be held at a later date.
