Wallace Minser

Wallace "Wally" Eugene Minser, 72, of Plano, TX, passed away at his residence, Tuesday, May 30, 2017, after a brief illness.   He was born July 2, 1944 in Chillicothe to the late Wallace and Kathleen Minser. Surviving are his daughter, Barbara (Ron) Hubbard; a step-grandson, Carter, of Blue Eye, MO; a sister, Judith Minser (Richard) Rutherford, of Chillicothe; a brother, Thomas Page (Deborah) Minser, of Marion, OH; three nieces, Lynn Doersam (George) Berry, of Chillicothe, Christine Minser (John) Eilerman, Perrysburg, OH, and Kathleen Minser, of Gahanna, OH; two nephews, John (Kendra) Doersam, of Chillicothe and Thomas William (Amy) Minser, of Gahanna, OH; five great-nieces, Courtney, Malia, Kara, Emma and Samantha; and three great-nephews, Kyle, William and Owen.   Wally was a 1962 graduate of Chillicothe High School, where he excelled at baseball. He also loved to play tennis and was an avid bowler. After high school, he joined the Army Reserve. He was then employed by Johns Manville Corp., Chillicothe, which took him to New Jersey and later, Hayward, CA. While in California, Wally began working for Snap-On Tools Company, which was the beginning of a career he loved and later retired from in 1986, after 20 years, in Lafayette, LA. After retirement Wally moved to Plano, TX, where he quickly adopted a wonderful group of friends and began a business providing painting and repair services to a vast and very loyal base of realtors and individuals.   Wally loved travelling across the pond as well as to California's wine country with his adopted family from Plano. Their favorite trips were finding the best small towns in Italy in which to live, eat and most importantly to drink wine like the locals. Wally and his friends established a gourmet club, where he carried out his passion for baking elaborate desserts. Anyone who knew and loved Wally will remember him for his sharp and frank sense of humor. Your bad mood didn't stand much of a chance when you were in his company. His genuine good nature and eye watering one-liners are just two examples of why Wally was such a one-of-a kind person, who will be greatly missed. We find peace in knowing he is reunited with his good friend Al Wheeldon, sipping on a scotch and water, or glass of wine, and we know he is just about to call and brag about the weather.   His devoted friends, Dede Gray, Deanne Wheeldon, John Tobia, Joe and Becky Delgado, Dave and Rhonda Daniels, and Stephanie and Jeremy Poyo will be holding a Celebration of Life for Wally on July 1, 2017 in Plano, TX.   Private graveside services will be held in Mt. Pleasant Cemetery, Kingston, under the direction of the Haller Funeral Home & Crematory, at the convenience of the family. Memorial contributions may be made to the Wounded Warriors Project, PO Box 758517, Topeka, KS, 66675-8517 or Project.org.
