Richard Lee Dilts, 71, of Winamac,  went home to his Heavenly Father on Friday, April 8, 2022.

He was born on January 17, 1951 to the late Richard Lewis and Clara Jane [Ballard] Dilts, also of Winamac.

Ricky Lee met the love of his life, Becky Kuszmaul, at the age of 14. He pedaled her home from cheerleading practice between his handlebars, and they never looked back. Through Winamac High School (1969) and Purdue University (1973) the two of them traveled this life together, hand-in-hand. From their marriage as young college juniors in 1971 to their 50th wedding anniversary surrounded by family in 2021 - they had a love for the ages.  

Left to cherish Rick’s memory are his wife, Becky Dilts of Winamac; sons, Jason (Jen) Dilts of Liberty, MO, Jeremy Dilts of Winamac, and Derrick (Emily) Dilts, of West Lafayette, IN and his many grandchildren (each of whom was loved by their doting Pop). It was important to Poppa Rick that they know they were loved and know it they do. He is also survived by his big sisters, Mary Ann (Daryl) Carey of Plymouth, MI and Carolyn (Larry) Hays of Odessa, FL; sister-in-law Rita (Ken) Layton of LaPorte, IN; and several nieces and nephews.

Rick was active in the community and in his church. He was a 49-year and 4th generation Master Mason and Past Master of Winamac Lodge #262 F&AM. He so dearly loved his brothers in lodge. He was a lifetime member of Winamac First United Methodist Church, where he sang (he would argue not beautifully) in the choir.  He also served as a church trustee and in numerous other positions.

For 40+ years, Rick could be heard playing taps at the Pulaski County Courthouse on Memorial Day and Veterans Day as well as at countless military graveside services in the surrounding area. He did it because it needed done, and he was able to do it. It is why he did so many things.

Through his life he was active in Kiwanis Club, United Way, Pulaski County Historical Society, and other community endeavors. He would tell you he played trumpet for the Purdue Marching Band, followed by sub-par backup trumpet for the Tuxedo Junction, followed by 30 years playing trumpet and percussion for BandOver. Those BandOver Sunday afternoon practices were so very precious to him. Ricky Lee secretly rocked.

Rick had different jobs throughout his working life - all done well - but none defining him as a man. His life’s greatest work can be found north of Winamac in a meadow in a small woods. It was there that he spent 35 years, steadily working alongside his wife. Together they turned his vision of a place of joy for future grandkids into reality. What began as a few scrub-filled acres was slowly and methodically transformed into a park, complete with a renovated old migrant shack, then a barn and windmill, relocated and improved piece by piece, and finally with the crown jewel, a handmade log cabin for all to enjoy. Rick Dilts, a man of few words, steadfastly went about creating a kid-kingdom of happiness for his grandchildren. It was there that he watched them play, laugh, and grow. It is his greatest personal legacy, and it very much survives him. It will survive us all.

Funeral Services will be held at 11 AM EDT Monday, April 11, 2022 at Winamac First United Methodist Church with Rev. Michelle White officiating.

Visitation will take place from 4-8 PM EDT Sunday, April 10, 2022 at Winamac First United Methodist Church and one hour prior to services at the church Monday.

Masonic Services will be held at 3:30 PM at the church Sunday.

Burial will take place at a later date at Winamac Cemetery.

Online Tributes may be made at www.frainmortuary.com.

Memorial Contributions can be made to the Winamac First United Methodist Church or by honoring Rick’s memory with kindness to others. Be nice to each other and respect each other - even if you don’t agree with each other. Tolerate your fellow man. Love your spouse, love your kids, then love their kids, and always love your God. It’s the greatest memorial you can pay to a man who embodied all of these things in a life lived so exceedingly well.

Arrangements have been entrusted to Frain Mortuary in Winamac, IN.

Robert “Bob” J. Nellans passed on April 3, 2022 surrounded by his family in his home after a long battle with illness.

Bob was born on September 22, 1942 at Kelly Hospital in Argos, Indiana, to Robert K. and Margaret C. Nellans, and resided in the area of Marshall and Fulton Counties for all of his life save for his time in the US Army.

Bob was drafted into the Army in 1965. After basic training in Fort Knox, KY, Bob was stationed in Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri, where he spent the remainder of his service.  It was there that he met Dorthy I. Kleier, a school teacher from Crocker, Missouri.  The two immediately hit it off, Bob declaring on their second date that they’d be married, even setting the date.

Just six weeks before the wedding day of December 27, 1966, Bob was involved in what should have been a fatal head-on accident with a drunk driver.  Despite the massive injuries incurred, including lasting nerve damage to his right arm, he was able to fulfill the promise he’d made to Dorthy and the two wed on the planned day.

Moving back to Indiana, Bob and Dorthy settled down in Argos on the family farm Bob had worked in his earlier years, Bob working in sales at the local Torx Products of Camcar, farming part-time, with Dorthy teaching at Argos Schools.

Upon the birth of their first child, Wes, Dorthy took a leave of absence from teaching to be an at-home mother to not just Wes, but their second child Kirk, as well.

It was during this time that Bob and Dorthy purchased the motorcycle Bob had always wanted, and he greatly enjoyed his BMW motorcycle until the fateful day that the throttle stuck wide open on the bike, whereupon Bob crashed at approximately 140 mph.  This resulted in a lasting disability due to the massive injuries he received during that wreck.

Bob was never one to take anything lying down, including the disability that carried brain damage, seizures, and a host of other medical issues that he’d deal with the rest of his days.  Unable to perform at a full-time job, he still managed to find ways to manage and maintain the family forest and tree farm, leaving the regular farming duties to his relatives the Brights who lived close by.  He even managed to go back to school part-time and attain five college degrees at nearby Indiana University of South Bend, including degrees in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science.

Even though Bob was often confined to being home, he became hugely involved in Amateur Radio, with contacts in over 300 countries.  He was a lifetime member of the AARL.

An active member of Richland Center United Methodist Church since 1947, Bob joined the IOOF Richland Center Lodge #435 in 1970, and was a Past Chief Patriarch of the Mt. Horeb Encampment #24 in Rochester, and a Captain of the associated Canton #9 in South Bend.  He was also a Mason and a Shriner.

Bob is survived by his wife of 55 years, Dorthy; two sisters, Linda “Susie” Nellans of California,  Betty (Nellans) Click of Fort Wayne, Indiana; sons Wes and Kirk Nellans and their spouses Jen and Kathy, of Argos; and five grandchildren - Josiah Nellans, Laci Nellans, Emma (Nellans) Joyner, Isaac Nellans, and Grace Nellans. 

A celebration of the life of Mr. Robert "Bob" Nellans will be at 11:00 AM Thursday, April 7, 2022 in the Good Family Funeral Home, 1200 West 18^th Street, Rochester. Pastor Steve Hartman will officiate.  Friends may visit with the family from 5:30 -7:30 on Wednesday, April 6, 2022 and one hour prior to the service in the funeral home. Military graveside honors will be conducted by the Fulton County Veterans Honor Guard and the US Army Honors Team.

In lieu of flowers, contributions can be made in Bob’s name to the Richland Center United Methodist Church or to Plant a Tree.

Interment will be in the Richland Center IOOF Cemetery.
