Departed: 04/27/2024 (Monticello)

Obituary Preview: It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Alec Gray, a beloved man who warmed countless hearts throughout the world. Alec passed away peacefully on April 27th, 2024, at the age of 92, in the presence of his loving wife, Mary. Born in Washington, D.C., Alec attended school in Virginia, then graduated from Mercersburg. Academy in 1950. He went on to Dartmouth College, where he graduated in 1954 with a degree in history. After college, he served in the U.S. Army, conducting counter-intelligence work in Japan, followed by duty in the Army Reserve until 1962. When he returned to the U.S. in 1957, he started his business career in New York, where he joined the sales department for Pan American Airlines. He traveled the world, showing travel agents and corporate clients the spectacular destinations served by the company. Pan Am took him to Minneapolis, where he met and married his first wife, Katherine Berghuis, in 1960. In 1966, they welcomed the birth of their son, Sandy, and in 1969, the birth of their daughter, Beth. They relocated with their young family to the Chicago area in 1972, where he continued to lead the regional Pan Am sales team, remaining dedicated for 34 years to the nation’s flagship airline until its demise in 1991. Alec continued his career in travel industry sales, eventually retiring from the Chicago Radisson Hotel in 1996. After the death of his first wife, Alec married Mary Kochmann in 1996. They retired to Ottertail Lake and Oviedo, Florida. Eventually, they split their time between the lake and other Minnesota homes. Alec was a very devoted father and grandad, always supporting and participating in the various activities and sports pursued by his children and grandchildren over the past several decades. He remained a diehard Chicago Cubs fan until the end, played tennis well into his 80s, and was always welcoming to everyone around him with his warm smile and happy demeanor. Christianity was core to Alec’s beliefs and how he conducted his life. He served various leadership positions for two decades at St. Gregory’s Episcopal Church in Deerfield, Illinois, was a long-time member at St. Luke's Lutheran Church in Oviedo, Florida, and St. Paul’s Lutheran Church in Perham, Minnesota. Later in life, studying scripture, praying, and keeping Christian principles at the forefront of his mind served him well as it would be difficult to find a person with anything but good things to say about Alec Gray. Eventually, Alzheimer’s disease eroded Alec’s mind and body and he joined the Lord, peacefully in his sleep. Although he has left this world, he has found peace in Heaven now. Alec was preceded in death by his parents, Welles and Arbutus, and his first wife Kathy. Succeeding him are his wife Mary, son Sandy (Cameron), daughter Beth (Vanessa), stepsons Mike (Tracy), Chris (Melanie), Rob, and Chuck, eight grandchildren, and a great-grandson. He was deeply loved and will be dearly missed by his devoted family, as well as countless friends at the lake, on the tennis courts, and innumerable other places around the world.

Bruce C. McNickle - December 22, 1945 - April 05, 2024

Departed: 04/05/2024 (Monticello)

Obituary Preview: Bruce McNickle was born in Lexington, Nebraska on December 22, 1945, and he died on April 5, 2024 in Monticello, Minnesota after a two-month battle with pancreatic cancer. His father Clark McNickle was a farmer, and his mother Alma McNickle was a high school teacher of English and Art. Bruce went to the University of Nebraska and received Bachelor’s, Master’s and Doctorate degrees in Psychology. During those years, he met his wife Ann, served his country as an Officer in the Vietnam War, and had two children, Christie and Jeff.

Bruce’s passions in life were helping others and exploring the world. These manifested in beautiful ways throughout his 78 years. As a psychologist, he often worked with severely schizophrenic patients. He was committed to giving his patients a sense of purpose and bringing joy through small acts of kindness. While Bruce worked as a psychologist, he, Ann and their children lived in Nebraska, Colorado, Missouri and Minnesota, enriching the family with exposure to unique places and people in America. He enjoyed studying cultures from around the world, and his children grew up reading and watching National Geographic with him. Bruce started collecting historical stamps in the 1990s to learn about different countries and cultures. He spent the next 30 years lovingly curating a stamp collection for his children and grandchildren.

After retirement, Bruce wanted to continue contributing to the wellbeing of his community and took on leadership roles as the President of an HOA and President of the Church Council at Trinity Lutheran Church in Monticello. He found immense joy in his work with the Church congregation, and imbued his leadership tasks with humility, compassion, and kindness. He also became involved in social justice and climate change initiatives, because he wanted to leave the world a better place for his granddaughters and younger generations. As an avid opera aficionado, Bruce’s lifelong dream was to visit Vienna, Austria. In 2019 at age 74, he joyfully embarked on a European tour of Hungary, Slovakia, Austria and Germany.

Bruce will be remembered as an intelligent, thoughtful, kind person who was quick to laugh and even quicker to lend a hand. He is survived by his wife, Ann McNickle, two children, Christie (Asha Wagner) McNickle (California), Jeff (Amber) McNickle (Minnesota), two young granddaughters, Josie and Grace, and two sisters, Edythe McNickle (Florida), Linda McNickle (New Mexico).
