pTim/said goodbye for now on Monday, January 30sup id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1485890531518_3099"th/sup, 2017. Proud father of Paul, Cheryl and Lisa, delighted Papa of 10 grandchildren and one great grandchild, big brother of Mary and Joan, and devoted husband who adored the love of his life, Connie, for over 50 years. He lived his life as a rare example of hard work and selflessness. He always enjoyed the beauty of nature, was an avid reader and a U of M football fanatic. If you visited, you could count on the Tigers baseball game or Red Wings hockey game being on. He was a master electrician, a masterful euchre player, a vast source of trivia knowledge and turned out to be a good cook. We all knew him as a down-to-earth, no-nonsense person who walked the walk of devotion, loyalty and integrity. His handshake meant his word, and when you needed a helping hand you knew he would be there. Wersquo;ll miss him, his dedication to family, and the quiet strength he provided. p
