Marcia Davis, longtime supporter of the arts in the Copper Country and wife of former Keweenaw Chamber of Commerce head Jon Davis, lost her battle with cancer this month. She was a very elegant, classy lady who had a smile and time for any and everyone. Her patience and zest for life were unbounded and I know she is missed by many, many friends as well as her husband and kids.

Also, Bill Lahti, patriarch of Lac La Belle, who passed away last Sunday at age 90. He was the quintessential Keweenaw gentleman and helped pave the way for generations more.

Steve Vichich of Laurium, who leaves behind two sons and daughters-in-law and four grandchildren and many friends.

Everett (Treb) Trebilcock, of East Lansing, who died at home on Monday. He was the husband of my cousin, Jane Baccus. In spite of a number of serious health problems over a number of years, he and Jane drove up to their beloved UP last summer. He, with son David, hiked out to the mouth of the Montreal, and said, as they were leaving Bete Grise, "I've lived 85 years without getting out there, so let's go!"

Hilya Kangas who is fondly remembered by family, friends, and all who knew and loved her.

Richard "Rigu" Naasko and Wilhart "Hardie" Johnson, both of Toivola.

George Gerloff, who died yesterday.

Bill Lambert of Marquette. A good man, loved by many.

Don Rose
Jack Wenberg-Former $ Bay resident

Lord Teddy Bear Longpre-Craven, our beloved 17 year-old Lhasa Apso, died on Tuesday, August 27, 2002. We miss him tremendously.

Aunnie Townsend, Frank Amato and Marge Wuorri.

Andy Mass - the MTU student that died in the unfortunate fire at the Phi Kappa Fraternity house on August 13th.

My Mom, Hilya Kangas, has gone beyond the sunset, and with her savior, Heaven has begun.

The picture was taken on the morning of August 12th, as the sun rose over Copper Harbor. It was one of the most beautiful sunrises I have ever seen.

MY MOTHER DOROTHY (UTZMAN) GRONEWALD PASSED AWAY ONE YEAR AGO ON AUGUST 9, 2001. MY MOTHER & FATHER OWNED AND OPERATED "UTZMAN'S RESTAURANT" IN CALUMET FOR 18 YEARS. AFTER DAD (ALBERT UTZMAN) DIED (JANUARY 26, 1972), SHE MARRIED JOHN GRONEWALD (JOHN'S RESTAURANT) IN DECEMBER OF 1982 & THERE SHE MADE HER FAMOUS CHILI & HER BAKERY. EVERYONE LOVED HER LEMON MERAGUE PIE! MOM RAN AN ADULT FOSTER CARE HOME FOR OVER 20 YEARS. THE BOARDERS THAT LIVED WITH US WERE TREATED LIKE FAMILY & WERE PAFRT OF OUR FAMILY. MOM WAS ALWAYS A WOMAN THAT WOULD HELP YOU IN ANY WAY THAT SHE COULD. SHE WOULD GIVE THE SHIRT OFF OF HER BACK IF NEEDED. MOM & DAD WORKED VERY HARD ALL THEIR LIVES & TAUGHT US KIDS THAT HARD WORK NEVER KILLED ANYBODY. WE LEARNED RESPECT, HONOR & ABOVE ALL LOVE FROM THEM. WE HAVE A VERY STRONG BOND BETWEEN ALL OF US KIDS. OUR LOVE IS SO STRONG, WE WOULD DO ANYTHING FOR EACH OTHER AT ANY TIME. I AM SO PROUD TO HAVE A MOTHER & FATHER THAT SHARED THEIR LOVE WITH US, THAT WE ARE ABLE TO DO THE SAME FOR OTHERS. WE WERE TAUGHT THAT IF SOMEONE IS IN NEED YOU HELP THEM. I AM HAPPY TO SAY THAT THIS IS THE WAY ALL OF OUR LIVES ARE LEAD TODAY. THANKS FOR SUCH CARING & LOVING PARENTS AS OURS. WE ALL LOVE & MISS THEM VERY MUCH.

Our father, Don Rose. Thank you Jack for your post of 9/1. We love you and miss you. A beautiful sunrise for the morning after his passing.
