Nick Gruber Death, Obituary – Paul and Ruth (Gappa) Gruber welcomed their son into the world on April 8, 1953. He was named after his paternal grandmother. After receiving his diploma from Winona Senior High School in 1971, Nick went on to work for Winona Lighting for more than 40 years, until he took an early retirement from the company in 2018. Nick was able to develop a large number of friends during that time period, and he regarded his time spent working with the Winona Lighting crew with a great deal of love in retrospect.
Nick Stoltman tied the knot with Leanne Stoltman in the year 1974. Nick and Leanne gave the world two stunning young ladies in the form of Michelle and Allison when they were their children. Nick wholeheartedly accepted his role as the children’s father when they were younger. As a consequence of this, he was forced to get a number of different haircuts and makeovers as a result of the children.
He made sure that his daughters were ready for the real world by teaching them how to drive, how to take care of their own homes, and how to be unyielding in their refusal to put up with bullshit from anybody. Landon John was born in 2007, making Nick a grandfather for the first time. Almost immediately, Landon John became the most important thing in Nick’s life. Nick could not wait to play catch with Landon, take him fishing, or get him a four-wheeler, assuring himself that “it’s ok, he’ll grow into it.”
Landon was a little young for these activities at the time, but Nick was certain that he would soon be ready. It was reasonable to anticipate that Grandpa Nick would attend many of Landon’s sporting events, including those involving football, ice hockey, and baseball, as Landon got older and became engaged in a wider range of sports. He will be Landon’s most dedicated fan for the rest of time.
Another one of Nick’s favorite things to do was spoil his granddogs with treats. He never left his four canine pals without food, and he always made sure to have some in the trunk of his car and in the pockets of his trousers. Nick was an enthusiastic participant in a wide array of activities that took place outside for the entirety of his life. It’s possible that you’ll find Nick out in the woods or on the sea fishing or hunting on a regular basis.
Nick was a longtime gaming manager at St. Stan’s Church in addition to his other activities, which included bowling leagues, racing R/C cars, being a member of the Winona Bassmasters, serving as President of the Goodview Activity Group, and being a member of the Winona Bassmasters.
Nick’s ability to cultivate plants successfully earned him a reputation for the large tomato plants he developed. He was quite helpful to his friends and neighbors, as evidenced by the fact that he routinely fixed their lawn mowers and cleared their roads for them.
