Roy Edward Nimocks, 79, died at Mercy Center Hospital, Aurora, IL after a long illness.

Roy was the son of Ernest James Nimocks (b. Wisconsin), and Charlotte Mary Methfessel (b. Switzerland).

He married Hazel Secor in Winona, Minnesota, 11 October 1915. The couple had one child and by 9 January 1917 were separated.

Roy later married Helen Evelyn Alden of Rockford, IL on 30
September 1920. He did not hold any jobs for long periods of time and occasionally worked for the U.S. Engineers as a cook.

Survivors include his two former wives, Hazel and Helen; three sons, Kenneth Leroy Nimocks, Roy George Nimocks and Russell Edward Nimocks; and two daughters, Delores Helen Jones and Ruth Lueders; and numerous grandchildren. Roy is pre-deceased by his parents and sister Ruth Darlene Kaiser.Roy was the son of Ernest James Nimocks (b. Wisconsin), son of James Nimocks and Josephine Keys and Charlotte Mary Methfessel (b. Switzerland), daughter of Edward Charles Methfessel and Mathilde Mary Grieb. Lottie and Ernest married in La Crosse County, Wisconsin 6 April 1892.

He married Hazel Secor in Winona, Minnesota, 11 October 1915. The couple had one child and by 9 January 1917 were living apart. Hazel was awarded $3 in child support that support payment was issued by the circuit county and was enforced for just two years. The 1920 census shows their child was probably Kenneth Leroy Nimocks (b. 29 February 1916, La Croose, Wisconsin). The little tyke was a boarder, living with The Fischer sisters in La Crosse's Ward 3. By 1930, Hazel had remarried and moved her son to Kansas City, Missouri. Her second husband was George Henry Vilander and the couple were the parents of George, Jr.

During 1910, his family lived in Ward 12 of La Crosse, Wisconsin. Included in the household were boarders, Arthur W. Nimocks, Lucy A. Vongraven Nimocks, and Donald O. Nimocks.

Roy was getting in trouble as early as the age of twelve. A charge of assault and battery was discharged during the week of 4 November 1906. Throughout the late-1920s, Roy was arrested for various things in Rockford, Illinois and was incarcerated in Wisconsin's La Crosse County Jail, during 1930. He appears to have left Rockford and returned to La Cross in the late-1920s and continued to get in trouble with the law during the 1930s. He was given 90 days, after pleading guilty to being "a common drunkard and vagrant," 1 September 1939.

The 11 June 1960 issue of The La Crosse Tribune reported that Roy had told police his "14-foot dead grass green flatboat" had been stolen from "William Markos' boat shanty."
