Bub was born on February 26, 1946, in Moline, IL to Hubert and Doris (Brown) Nimrick. Bub met the love of his life at the Alpha Roller Rink. Bub and Daleen (Swanson) married in North Henderson on September 19, 1964.
He retired from the John Deere Harvester Works in East Moline in 1994 after 30 years, reaching his goal of 48 and out the gate! After retirement, Bub filled his free time raising cattle, hunting, and fishing, playing cards with the Rio gang, helping the Swansons at harvest, looking for the perfect yard sale bargain, reselling those bargains at the Rutledge Flea Market, and cheering on his grandkids at all of their events! Bub also enjoyed traveling, especially to Branson.
