Marion Dick Obituary
He was born March 19, 1930, in Milwaukee, and attended school in Milwaukee, graduating from the electrical program at Boys Tech High School. His education led him to a lifelong love of the electrical business, which he pursued for the rest of his life.
He married Jean (Beach) in August 1951 before shipping out to Korea, serving in the 27th Infantry Reg. He was a member of several professional organizations including the Masons as well as the Tripoli Shrine.
He moved to Stevens Point in 1971, where he continued working in the electrical supply business. After retiring, he and Jean moved to their home in Three Lakes where they operated Island View Cabins. He loved Fords, helping friends, music, taking pictures of the beautiful sunsets from his lake home, tinkering and rooting for all his favorite Wisconsin teams.
Marion was preceded in death by his mother, Rola, and father, Carl.
Survivors include his wife, Jean; daughters, Susan (Norman) Parker, Sandy (Ray) Heidel, Lori Dick and Cari Dick (Scott Coomes); grandson, Daniel Heidel (Becca Walters); sister, Pat (Ken) Buckingham; brother-in-Iaw, Allan (Linda) Beach; and many nieces and nephews.
