    He loved his M.H.S. school. When asked if the school should be repaired or torn down, he was the first to financially respond. We have fond memories of visiting with him in his Florida home. We’ll keep the family in our thoughts and prayers.

    Cherie and Bruce. Been years since we have seen each other. So sorry to hear that Natalie has passed away. I’m the only one left out of my family. John Gunn your dad’s cousin passed in 1994, His wife Dorothy passed in 2003. I lost my son 10/6/2022 and my husband 6/7/2023. All are buried at Whiteman not far from your mom and dad’s.

    So sorry to hear about Bob’s recent death. May God comfort all the family and give you His peace. He was a classmate of my brother Jim George. They spent many good times working on cars in our barn in Michigan Town. God be with you and keep you in perfect peace. A friend, Linda George Ostler
