Gary âNickâ Nicholas Wonderlich, 83, of Angora, Minn, passed away on Saturday, June 12, 2021, at Fairview Range Medical Center. He was born in Ollie, Iowa., on May 14, 1938, to Harlan and Carrie (Jensen) Wonderlich. He grew up in the Estherville, Iowa, area and graduated from high school there. After high school, Nick joined the U.S. Navy and served his country as a radar navigation specialist. He was proud of this crucial role, served four active years and finally honorably discharged in 1962. Nick went through training and school to become a federal meat inspector that brought him to run and manage many different plants around the country. His position and training led him to Hibbing where he finished his successful career with the one and only Fraboniâs as the head meat inspector. He was known in the industry as running a very tight ship and getting things done the right way. He really was the best at what he did. Ending up in Hibbing, Nick met the love of his life and was married to Carol (Gray) Wanhala on July 21, 1991, at the First Presbyterian Church of Hibbing where they were members as Nickâs faith was very important to him. Married for 30 years, Nick and Carol raised their family on the Iron Range where they made a life together. Nick had a great sense of humor and loved to tell jokes and stories. He loved to hunt, fish and just be outdoors with friends and family. Nick was very proud of his civilianâs pilot license and took any chance to fly, even to his business meetings. He loved woodworking, cooking for people and was a diehard Green Bay Packer fan!
