Age 82, of Farmington, passed away peacefully Wednesday, March 3, 2010,
surrounded by family at Select Specialty Hospital-St. Joseph Mercy Hospital, Ann Arbor,
MI. His death resulted from complications caused by a fall inside his home.
Beloved husband of the late Barbara, he was the dear father of Pamela Down
(Charles Pfeffer), Jacqueline Mines, Deborah Belz-Rubis (Roger), and Candice Koda
(Philip), proud and loving grandfather of Andrew Belz (Sabrina), Jennifer Koda, Kimberly Koda, and adoring great-grandfather of Juliana Belz. He is also survived by sisters, Marion Dohring and Patricia McCormick, a sister-in-law, Donna Jean Nagel, and
many nieces and nephews.

He will be fondly remembered by his friends who enjoyed
his sense of humor and love of life. A devoted cat owner and an avid animal lover, he
will be missed by his neighbors' pets who enjoyed his treats or a day of pet-sitting.

In accordance with his wishes, a private observance was held.
Arrangements entrusted to Thayer-Rock Funeral Home, Downtown Farmington.
