Maynard Chester Tradewell

So very sorry to hear of Maynards passing!
He was a great guy who will be missed .
We have many fond memories of when you lived here - which we cherish deeply and we still use the bowl he made for us!
Our deepest sympathies to you Dorene and Family .

Everyone loved Maynard!! He was always stopping in to visit whenever he was in town. He was so very proud of his kids and grandkids, he talked about all their accomplishments and careers. He loved when family came to Fertile to deer hunt and would go into town for dinner and see people he knew. Maynard lived and grew up with my brother in Minneapolis after graduating high school, and boy could he tell stories!!! We will miss his fall visits, prayers for Doreen and the family.

I met Maynard in 1978 working at Anoka Electric/Connexus energy! He started working one week after I started! Since I was the new guy, I was the last slot for the time card. I am not sure how many times I punched Maynard’s card! As he was the last one in line. Maynard was a true friend and I will miss his smile and sense of humor.I will cherish the wood working projects of his that I have in possession!! I am honored to have called him my friend!!

Doreen and family, we were so sorry to hear of Maynard’s passing. He was a great guy and it was always fun to visit with him when he’d stop in the grocery store when he came to Fertile. We’d talk of old family times and how he was supposed to be my godfather! Peace to all of you, Jean and Aaron Bakke
