Leonard Anthony Nordick, was born September 29, 1924 at Kent, Minn. the first child of Louis and Elizabeth (DeBoever) Nordick. He grew up on the farm at rural Kent and attended District School #75. Following his formal education, he stayed at home and farmed with his parents.
On August 11, 1948, he was united in marriage to Angeline Miranowski at St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Breckenridge, Minn. The couple made their home on a farm near Kent until 1955, when they moved to a farm on County Road 16, southwest of Rothsay, where they have lived for the past 47 years. He never retired from farming.
Leonard enjoyed having his grandchildren visiting with him on the farm. He would always ask when they had a break coming so they could come and stay there. He had the grandchildren in the tractor or combine with him, or in the barns with his dairy cows or horses. When younger, Leonard enjoyed riding horses with his children. In the later years, he quit riding and worked with his Draft horses. He loved to talk about the “Good Old Days” with friends neighbors and family. He was an encyclopedia of information for many younger folks restoring horse equipment, talking about history and training horses. He was known to many going to the lakes as “the man on the curve of County Road 16 with horses.” Many people would stop to watch his horses in the pasture. People both young and old would walk up to the fence to pet the horses. Leonard was known for his outstanding quality and well trained horses across the United States. He was asked to participate in many parades with his horses and equipment. The highlight of working with the draft horses was when one horse he had raised and trained was pulling the sleigh in John Denver’s Christmas Special, filmed on a Montana ranch. He enjoyed listening to the sound of the soil turning over as he plowed the land with his horses - and the smell of the fresh over turned soil.
Leonard was a member of St. Mary’s Church, Breckenridge, Minn. the Fort Ransom Sod Busters Association, the Belgian Draft Horse Association, the Draft Hose and Mule Association of America and the National Rifle Association. He enjoyed farming and going to horse sales, especially the spring and fall horse sale in Waverly, Iowa with his friends. He said he lived for his family and his horses.
He is survived by his wife of 55 years, Angeline Nordick, rural Rothsay, Minn; his children Jerry (Cathy) Nordick, Rothsay, Minn, Dorothy (Leon) Muehler, Wahpeton, Darral (Laureen) Nordick, Rothsay, minn., Keith Nordick, Rothsay, Minn., Sheryl (Ardel) Kressin, Wahpeton, Cindie (Bryan) Van Tassel, Breckenridge, Minn.
