He is preceded in death by his parents, Carl and Colleen, as well as his sister Carol.
He is survived by his 3 children (Rob, and twin daughters Sherry and Shelly of northern Michigan), 6 grandchildren (Bradley, Bobby, Brittany, Katelyn, Tanner, and Madisyn), his sisters Mary and Betty, and his beloved girlfriend, Diane Bartholomew of Clinton Township. His first great-grandchild is expected to be born any day.
He was well loved by his family, and a host of friends and associates in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.
