He continued on to work at Lomar Machine in Horton, MI, alongside of his Lomar friends and family, eventually retiring for his second time in 2009 after 27 years of service at the age of 93.

This obituary is also a recognition of the folks who do what they do so well and have been by our sides. Many thanks to Dr. Lynn VanWagnen and Dr. Mark Zande of Michigan Heart for their years of caring. Enough words of gratitude cannot be expressed to Kevin and Leigh Ganton and the wonderful personnel of Arbor North Living Center. We are so fortunate to have had Great Lakes Hospice available to us - Nurse Clint and Aid Denise and all of the Great Lakes Hospice personnel. Thank you Molly, Kim and so many other caring folks who kept us afloat. We do not know what we would have done without any of you. Visitation will take place at Wetherby Funeral Home on Wednesday, October 23, 2013 from 2-4 PM and 6-8 PM. Funeral services will also take place at the funeral home on Thursday, October 24, 2013 at 11:00 AM with Pastor Ron Brooks officiating.
