John C. Prost was born October 16, 1936 and passed on June 25,2026 (89). He became a member of the MCGP on September 10, 2002 (23).   

John was President of the Men’s Club 2009 - 2010 as well as a Sub Club Chair.

John Charles Prost's love for the City of Detroit and his home, Grosse Pointe Park, was second only to his love for his wife Lucinda and daughters Kathryne and Elizabeth, whom he always referred to as the "most loved" wife and daughters in the entire world. Anyone who met John appreciated that he was the ultimate "people person," genuinely interested in, and happy when, learning the stories of people he met throughout his long life.

John was born to John Leonard and Kathryn "Kay" Smith Prost in Detroit on October 16, 1936. Eight months later, his father tragically died, leaving Kay to raise John and his sister Barbara primarily on her own. With support and encouragement from her father-in-law Charles J. Prost and mother-in-law Charlotte, Kay worked as a secretary and then became the general manager of the Detroit Builders Show from 1945 to 1956, making her a leading female businesswoman of the time. Growing up on Chalmers Avenue in Detroit, John watched his mother with pride and he credited her with his drive to succeed. Although he grew up without a father, Kay made sure that John had many trusted male adults in his life, and he always said that he probably went to more father-son dinners that most sons.

After graduating from Southeastern High School, John attended Michigan State University, where he joined SAE fraternity and created a new business taking photos at sorority and fraternity formals and sold them to the students. In the summers, John worked for Snuffy McGill, the Detroit Times photographer, dropping off the film for newsreels to the processing lab. College photography also brought important lifelong memories. In January 1956, John traveled with the MSU football team to the Rose Bowl as a school photographer. He loved telling of the long train ride across the country, and cherished a piece of the goal posts he managed to grab after MSU's win. In January 1957, John traveled as a MSU photographer to President Eisenhauer's second inauguration.

Throughout college, John spent many hours driving back and forth to Ann Arbor, where his Southeastern High School sweetheart, Lucinda Hendricks, attended the University of Michigan. They were pinned, and engaged, and married on July 25, 1959. The bond between John and Lucy became the hallmark of John's life.

John spent his career in Life Insurance sales, working for many of the major life insurance companies in the U.S. Over the course of his 60 plus year career, John served as President of both the Greater Detroit and the Michigan Association of Life Underwriters, President of the Financial and Estate Planning Council of Detroit, President of the Detroit General Agent and Managers Association, President of the Life Insurance Leaders of Michigan, President of Detroit Society of CLU and ChFC, and served as a Trustee of the National Association of Life Underwriters. He was a Life Member of the Million Dollar Round Table.

John's success in the industry garned him multiple accolades and awards over the years, including the Greater Detroit and Michigan Associations of Life Underwriters Man of The Year, Humanitarian Award from Life Leader of Michigan, and in 2001 John was elected to the Michigan Insurance Hall of Fame.

John's love for Detroit and Grosse Pointe was most evident though his community service. He was appointed by Detroit Mayor Jerome P. Cavanaugh as trustee of the City of Detroit pension system. He also served on Detroit Mayor Roman Gribbs's Insurance Advisory Committee. Later, John served on the City Council of Grosse Pointe Park for eight years, serving four of those years as Mayor Pro Tem. He was also a founder and past President of the Grosse Pointe Park Foundation. He was elected President of the Detroit Rotary in 2014. The Michigan Senate honored him with a resolution of appreciation for his civic involvement.

For 26 years, John contributed to the community's knowledge and understanding of people, organizations, and current events, through his cable television show "Pointers with Prost" and "The John Prost Show," which served the five Grosse Pointes and Harper Woods. His guests included heads of local charities, entertainers, sports icons and politicians. The show broadcast on local cable stations five times a day, seven days a week.

John was an active member of the Detroit Athletic Club for more than 60 years and was instrumental in expanding the club's membership. He served as the club's 79th President. He was proud of these accomplishments. But if you listened to John, he was equally proud of his 50 years as chair and emcee of the annual DAC Father Daughter Banquet, where each year he led the audience in the song "In a Cabin in the Woods" to the delight of all.

John's personal interests ranged from singing first tenor with the acapella vocal group the Grunyons, which he joined in 1963, to spending time on his boat, which he named "The Office," so that he could always say he was at the office. He was a member of St Ambrose Church.

John was predeceased by his father, John L. Prost, and mother, Kathryn Smith Prost, as well as his sister, Barbara Prost Nelson. He is survived by his wife of almost 67 years, Lucinda Ann Hendricks Prost, his daughter Kathryne and husband Richard Singleton, daughter Elizabeth and husband Mark Schlater, four grandchildren; Kathryne "Kate" Schlater, John "Jack" Schlater, Emma Grace Singleton and Andrew John Singleton, nieces Mary Cole, Katie Nelson Conrad, Marjorie Collins, and nephews Bruce Nelson, James Nelson, Charles Jacobson and Russell Jacobson.

John's devotion to his family and friends, as well as to the people of the cities, professional organizations, community service groups, and clubs for which he faithfully served over his 89 years will be remembered with pride and awe. His impact on our lives and on all who knew him will live on for decades to come.

Visitation will be held on Wednesday, July 8 from 4pm to 8pm at Chas. Verheyden, Inc., 16300 Mack Ave., Grosse Pointe Park. The family will receive guests on Thursday, July 9th from 10:30 am until the time of his Funeral Mass at 11 am at St. Ambrose Catholic Church, 15020 Hampton, Grosse Pointe Park.



In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in John's honor to the Detroit Industrial School or St. Ambrose Church.

Robert Jerome Kollar, a distinguished businessman, community leader, and devoted family man, passed away peacefully on June 9, 2026, in Grosse Pointe Farms, Michigan. Born on January 12, 1937, in Detroit, Michigan, Robert’s life was marked by dedication, perseverance, and a deep commitment to both his professional pursuits and the communities he cherished.

Robert graduated from St. Joseph High School in downtown Detroit in 1954, where he not only excelled academically but also showcased his athletic talents playing football. He pursued higher education with determination, attending St. Mary’s University, Winona College in Minnesota from 1954 to 1955, before completing his studies at Eastern Michigan University. In 1958, he proudly graduated from Eastern Michigan University’s School of Business and was a member of Phi Sigma Epsilon, affectionately known as the “Bear” fraternity.

His professional career was both diverse and remarkable. From 1958 to 1963, Robert served Chrysler Defense Operations and distinguished himself as one of the youngest branch managers in the division’s history. He continued his journey at McDonnell Douglas Aircraft from 1963 to 1970, contributing to the development of military and commercial hardware. Demonstrating his entrepreneurial spirit, Robert founded Graphic Communications in Plymouth, Michigan, an advertising and printing company, where he worked until 1976.

He concluded his professional career as Senior Vice President in Marketing and Sales at Clark Graphic in Warren, Michigan.

Beyond his career, Robert’s passions reflected his character. An avid golfer, he enjoyed spending time on the greens and participated actively in community causes, notably supporting “iCare of Michigan,” an organization devoted to raising funds for the disadvantaged. Since retirement, he cherished winters spent in Florida with Barbara Hornsby, his loving companion of over 19 years.

Robert was deeply involved in numerous organizations and cherished activities that underscored his leadership and community spirit. He devoted over forty years to the Michigan Hockey Association and the U.S. Hockey Association, undertaking roles in coaching, managing, and directing. His love for horses led to seventeen years of active participation with the Michigan Horses Association as a racing enthusiast. A committed member of the Grosse Pointe Yacht Club since 1990, Robert also contributed to the Christian Business Men’s Community, the Kiwanis Club in Plymouth, the Grosse Pointe Crisis Club, and the Moravian Nells County Club in Mount Clemens. Robert was also a devoted Catholic, going to Mass every Saturday for years at his home parish of St. Paul on the Lake.

His personal life was filled with love and family. Robert married the late Lynda Louise Baumgarten on August 31, 1957. Together, they raised their son, James Lewis Kollar, whom married Mary Kathleen Martin. Robert was predeceased by his brothers John and James, sister Carole Rakoczy, sisters-in-law Shirley and Sharon, and brother-in-law John Rakoczy. He is further predeceased by his son James and his companion Barbara Hornsby. He is survived by his loving grandchildren, Robert Kollar and Elizabeth Ulrich (Roger Ulrich), as well as two great-grandchildren, Levi and Faye Ulrich. He is also remembered by many nieces, nephews, grandnieces, and grandnephews.

Robert's greatest joy was being a Grandpa and Great-Grandpa, and he loved spending time with his family and supporting those he cared about most. He took special pride in coaching his grandson’s hockey teams and watching his granddaughter ride horses, always encouraging their passions and achievements. His love, support, and pride in his grandchildren and great-grandchildren were evident throughout his life, leaving behind cherished memories and a lasting legacy of love.

Robert Jerome Kollar’s legacy is one of dedication to excellence, unwavering commitment to family, and heartfelt service to his community. His life’s work and benevolent spirit have left an indelible mark on all who knew him.

Paul Richard “Dick” Gilleran was born March 23, 1939 and passed on February 27, 2026 (86). He became a member of the MCGP October 1, 2023 (2).

Paul Richard "Dick" Gilleran; Age 86; of Grosse Pointe Woods passed away peacefully Friday, Friday, February 27, 2026 at American House in Grosse Pointe Farms, Michigan from natural causes.



Born March 23, 1939, in Detroit to George and Kathleen Gilleran (nee: Brunett) he was the fifth of seven children. He grew up in a home his father built on Three Mile Drive in Detroit. He attended St. Matthew Catholic School in Detroit before graduating from Austin High School in 1957, and John Carroll University in Ohio in 1961.

Funeral mass is scheduled Saturday, April 11, 2026 at 10:00 AM at St. Matthew Catholic Church, 6021 Whittier Avenue, Detroit. Following his funeral mass, family and friends will continue to celebrate Dick's life at The ARK at St. Ambrose, 15020 Hampton Street, Grosse Pointe Park, Michigan 48230.

While attending college, Dick met Carole Paler, who was studying at Notre Dame College in Ohio. They were married June 1, 1963. Dick said she was "the best thing that ever happened to him". Together, they raised three sons. After serving in the U.S. Army from 1962 to 1964, Dick pursued a law degree at the University of Detroit Law School, graduating in 1967. He enjoyed a long and successful career as an estate and bankruptcy attorney with Dean & Fulkerson PC law firm in Troy, Michigan until his retirement in 2014.

Dick was a devout Catholic and a man of many passions, including gardening, cigars, Detroit sports, sailing and joke telling. He often approached patrons sitting near him at a restaurant or bar to tell jokes - both clean and perhaps not so clean - depending on the audience. As a former president of the Royal Oak Kiwanis chapter and an active member of St. Lucy Catholic Church in

St Clair Shores and Toastmasters, he exemplified generosity and humor throughout his life.

He will be remembered by his loved ones as a sweet and kind soul who was always thinking of others and what he could do to help them.

Dick is survived by his beloved wife of 62 years, Carole; sons, Jeff (Natasha), David (Deborah) and Jason (Robyn); and grandchildren, Spencer, Henrik, Elliott and Simone. He was predeceased by his parents, siblings, Regina, Helen, Jerry, Jim, Mary and Tom; and brother-in-law, Harry Myson. Dick was the last of these seven Gilleran children to pass. His family finds it fitting that the life of the party and designated joke-teller stayed until the party was over.

Benjamin G. Chapman was born February 18, 1932, and passed on May 28, 2026 (94). He became a member of the MCGP on November 9, 2004.  

Funeral services will be held at 11 a.m. Thursday, June 18, 2026, at Grosse Pointe Memorial Church in Grosse Pointe Farms for Benjamin G. Chapman, who died Thursday, May 28, 2026, at his home in Grosse Pointe Farms. He was 94.

Born in Detroit in 1932 to Kathleen Early Chapman and Charles Goodman Chapman, Ben's family lived in Indian Village before moving to Grosse Pointe Farms when he was five.

Ben attended Detroit University School (DUS) through ninth grade before transferring to The Taft School in Watertown, Conn., where he graduated in 1950. Ben attended Yale University, graduating in 1954, and spent two years in the U.S. Army in Oklahoma and Germany, before going to work as a stockbroker. He first worked for Clark, Dodge & Co., was a partner with Wm. C. Roney & Co. and finished a nearly 50-year investment career at Raymond James. Ben also served on the board of directors at the Grosse Pointe News from the mid '70s through the mid '90s, handling the newspaper's accounting and bookkeeping during that period.

Ben's family was the center of his life. In 1958, he married Lauren Grinnell Edgar and they lived in the City of Grosse Pointe, where they raised four children. Ben and Lauren shared a passion for sports, particularly hockey, and had season tickets for the Red Wings at Olympia Stadium for many years. Ben played goalie at Taft and Yale and would go on to coach for many years in the Grosse Pointe Hockey Association. He was a willing chauffeur to boys whose parents were unable to drive them to practices and games. Ben was also an avid golfer, playing on his teams at Taft and Yale. He grew up across the road from the fourth tee of the Country Club of Detroit course and would often start his round there. He enjoyed playing, coaching or watching just about any sport.

Ben and Lauren formed many lifelong friendships in Grosse Pointe and hosted numerous July 4th parties, and on many other occasions, with a tight-knit group. They enjoyed many travels to Europe, the Canadian Rockies and many other destinations in their later years.

Ben was an exceptional father to his four children, leading by example, and adored spending time with his five grandchildren. Despite a busy work schedule, Ben rarely missed a practice, game or performance.

Ben spent his life quietly serving others. When he was 14, he joined Grosse Pointe Memorial Church and served in numerous roles, including elder, deacon, usher, trustee, the investment council, worship council and outreach council, where he made sandwiches for the less fortunate well into his 80s. He served in some of these capacities more than once. Ben died just 10 days before his 80th anniversary with the church.

Ben was also a member of the Country Club of Detroit, The Woodworkers and the Yale University Alumni Association.

Ben is survived by two daughters, Jill Edgar Chapman and Gay Chapman Kennary (James); two sons, Charles Goodman Chapman II (Judy) and Clayton Grinnell Chapman; and five grandchildren, Hadley Kennary, Cole Milazzo, Alison Milazzo, Griffin Kennary and Sarah Chapman. He was predeceased by his wife, Lauren; his parents, Kathleen and Charles, and his sisters, Nancy Chapman Fisher and Julienne Chapman Henkel.

Interment will be in the Grosse Pointe Memorial Church columbarium.

Memorial contributions can be made to Grosse Pointe Memorial Church, 16 Lake Shore Road, Grosse Pointe Farms, MI 48236.

Joseph J. Zainea was born January 4, 1934 and passed on February 4, 2026 (92). He became a member of the MCGP May 13, 2022 (3).  

Joseph John Zainea (January 4, 1934-February 4, 2026) often asked what was going to be his legacy. The answer is simple love, love for his family, his work and community. Papa Joe’s (as he was affectionately called by the young patrons of the Garden Bowl) legacy is one of love. Love for his wife of 68 years, Mary, who he met as a young man and married on June 28, 1958. Shortly after marrying, Joe and Mary flew off to Paris, leaving behind his twin, John, brother George and sisters Maria, Lorraine and Yvonne. In Paris, Joe was stationed as a clerk with the army because his drill instructor quickly noted during boot camp that Papa Joe was a terrible marksman. After living in Paris, Papa Joe and Mary returned to their hometown of Detroit and started a family and that is where Papa Joe’s legacy continued. To Papa Joe, family wasn’t just a relationship—it was a responsibility and a bond. He believed in showing up for each other, standing by each other, and living with loyalty, love, and purpose.

Joe loved his children, Leane, David, Kathryn and Joe. He guided them and instilled in each of them a strong work ethic and compassion for others. All of Joe’s kids affectionately recall him telling them that when faced with a task to give it a 110% and that they did. He also took immense joy in his grandchildren, Simon and Amelia, who were part of the legacy he cherished most.

For years Joe’s sons, David and Joe, worked alongside him at the Garden Bowl on Woodward Avenue. The Zainea family owned and operated what is described as the longest continuous bowling alley in the country, and for decades, they made it more than a business—they made it a home for the community. Papa Joe learned his business philosophy from his father, Albert, who believed the key to success was simple: put people first.

Joe carried that forward with pride and devotion. He believed the Garden Bowl wasn’t just a place to bowl—it was a place where people were welcomed, remembered, and embraced.

When Joe was at the Garden Bowl you knew he was there because he was the kind of man whose presence filled a room—not because he demanded attention, but because he gave it. He noticed people. He remembered their names. He made them feel like they belonged. And that gift—his warmth, his humor, his hospitality—was not something he turned on for special occasions. It was simply who he was.

David and Joe followed in Papa Joe’s footsteps and worked tirelessly to expand the business to include The Gnome, the Majestic Theatre, the Magic Stick and Sgt. Pepperoni’s. He was so proud of what his sons had accomplished.

Joe loved people and he especially loved the people of his hometown, Detroit. As the years went on and Joe and Mary travelled the world near and far, he would ask others where they were from and in return he boasted that he was from Detroit.

Through decades of Detroit’s changes—through good times and hard times—Joe stayed committed to the city and to the people in it. He loved his hometown, Detroit.

During Detroit’s 1967 Rebellion, Joe and his family opened their doors to police, firemen, National Guard members, and others who needed relief—welcoming them with free bowling, food, and support.

His heart was always open, even when times were uncertain.

Joe helped shape the growth of the Majestic Theatre Complex and Midtown’s renewal, and he remained a proud supporter of Detroit’s cultural life—from music and performance to community organizations.

Papa Joe’s accomplishments weren’t just measured in business success—they were measured in community impact.

In 2008, he received a Lifetime Achievement Award from Preservation Wayne for his commitment to community involvement. He served on boards including the Children’s Center, supporting mental health care for Detroit’s children.

He believed deeply in giving back, in being present, and in helping build something better than what you inherited.

Papa Joe knew something important: Life is hard sometimes. The world can be heavy. But if you can keep your heart open, stay humble, and find humor along the way—you can endure. You can lead. You can love well. That is his legacy.



Funeral services will take place Wednesday, February 11; Instate 9 AM until the time of Mass 10 AM at St. Matthew Catholic Church, 6021 Whittier, Detroit. Interment Mt Olivet Cemetery, Detroit.

 H. George Arsenault was born September 30, 1927, and passed on February 27, 2026 (98). He became a member of the MCGP April 25, 1995 (30).

George served the Senior Men’s Club in many ways. He was a Director, a Chairman of several Committees, President (2004-2005) and part of the Father Son President duo with Marty McMillan (2017-2018)

                                    

Henry George Arsenault (George), patriarch of the Arsenault-McMillan family, 98, of St. Clair Shores Michigan passed away peacefully in his home on February 27, 2026, surrounded by his loving and devoted family.

Born to Anna (Babin) and Joseph Ernest Arsenault, he was the third of their five children, raised in Detroit where he attended Holy Redeemer High School. He enlisted in the army after graduation, serving in the Signal Corp at Fort Bliss (Texas) and Fort Dix and Fort Monmouth (New Jersey). After leaving the army, he went on to receive an associate and bachelor’s degree from the Detroit College of Business. Later he obtained his master’s degree in political science from the University of Detroit.

George spent the greater part of his career with General Motors as a financial analyst and financial data programmer, retiring in 1988. He later joined a division of Chrysler as a systems information director where he enjoyed another ten years.

In 1952, George married his first wife Margaret Elizabeth Foley, whom he met during high school, raising seven children together before Marge passed away in 1964 after a prolonged illness.

George met his second wife, Delores Ann Shmina McMillan, a widow with ten children, at a Catholic club for widow and widowers. George and Delores married in June of 1966 at St. Clare of Montefalco, creating a family of 17 children, an event memorialized on the front pages of the Detroit News and Detroit Free Press. They raised their family in Grosse Pointe Park, agreeing from the beginning to never use the term “step”, “your” or “my” children, only “our” children. They enjoyed 48 years of a loving marriage, which in addition to raising a large family, included a shared love of bowling, cross-country travel, card games, and many family functions with children and grandchildren.

A strong proponent of lifelong learning, George advised his children if you can read, you can learn anything. George’s love of learning was broad, and included analyzing the writings of Greek philosophers, studying the civil war, teaching himself how to write computer code and eventually writing books himself. George was the proud author of four books that capture his incredible life story and philosophies: My Blue Heaven; One Plus One Equals Nineteen; Seven Come Eleven; and Bits and Pieces.

Throughout their lives, George and Delores were faithful and devout parishioners at St. Clare of Montefalco, involved in several church committees. For over 30 years, George was an active member of the Grosse Pointe Senior Men’s Club, and served in many capacities, including President. George was also a long-time member of the Knights of Columbus.

George loved to drive, with one of his favorite places being behind the wheel. After Delores died in 2014, he spent the next six months taking various trips around the country to visit his sister, children and grandchildren coast to coast, bragging that he put 36,000 miles on his car in six months.

Until his passing, George continued reading the Wall Street Journal, working on his crossword puzzles and reciting his favorite poems. Friends, family, hospital workers, waiters and occasionally complete strangers were regaled with his recitation of “If” by Rudyard Kipling, or “The Face on the Barroom Floor” by Hugh Antoine d’Arcy. He has a chapter in Bits and Pieces titled “Poems That Taught Me Something”.

His family of 19 was his greatest life accomplishment. He knew it was no ordinary task to take on the challenge of raising a blended family of 17 children, but he did it anyway, having faith that if you did something for the right reasons, everything would work out.

George was predeceased by his parents, two brothers and two sisters, his two wives Delores and Marge; sons Mark Arsenault, Donald McMillan, and Timothy McMillan; his sons-in-law Ken MacKool and James Albulov; and his great grandchildren Austin Griswold Roney and Violet Amelia Moore.

He is survived by his children Jaimen McMillan (Dorothea), Joseph McMillan (Janice), Mary Ann Arsenault, Patricia McMillan MacKool (Michael Ryan), Patrick Arsenault (Diane), Ann McMillan Salinger (Burt), Margaret Arsenault Roache, Martin McMillan (Donna), Robert Arsenault DuPont, Steven McMillan (Sharon), Susan McMillan, Aileen Arsenault (Nolan Hampton), Janet Arsenault (Pedro Barbosa) and Mary Ann McMillan Dollinger (Steven), and daughters-in-law Jan Rewers McMillan and Brigid McMillan.

He is also survived by his grandchildren Scott McMillan (Mitzi), Brian Roney (Gwen), James McMillan, Kevin Roney, Lara McMillan-Moore (Jeremy), Kate MacKool (Matthew McCreary), Julianna Van Wagner (John), Chris McMillan, Colleen Murray (Seamus), Mike MacKool, Sarah Shapiro (Ryan), Chantal DeNella, Jackie Jaffe (Alex), Katie Thoits (Scott), Mark Albulov (Brea), Erin McMillan, Michal Sabogal (Gonzalo), Anna Albulov (John Crowley), Ryan Arsenault, Eric Salinger, Jimmy McMillan (Andrea), Michelle McNulty (John), Michael McMillan, Elise Arsenault, Max Albulov (Andrea), Lindsay McMillan, Alex McMillan, Jared Salinger, Justin Dollinger (Amanda), Peter McMillan (Christina), Lauren Kouril (Phil), Lilly Arsenault, Colin Gallagher, Shane Dollinger, Shane Gallagher, Benjamin McMillan, Pat Roache, Tara Dollinger (Shambhu Rajeev), Christian McMillan, and Trevor Dollinger.

His legacy also includes 48 great-grandchildren, 3 great-great grandchildren, and many beloved nieces, nephews and treasured friends.

Visitation will be on Thursday, March 5th from 1 to 8 pm at Chas. Verheyden Funeral Home, 16300 Mack Avenue, Grosse Pointe Park, Michigan with a rosary at 6:30 pm. A Celebration of Life Mass will be held on Friday, March 6th at 10:30 am at St. Clare of Montefalco Church on Mack Avenue in Grosse Pointe Park Michigan; in state at 9:30 am.

Kenneth A. Daher was born January 17, 1943 and passed on January 7, 2026 (82). He became a member of the MCGP February 14, 2012 (13).

Kenneth A. Daher, 82, passed away surrounded by his loving family. He was born in Detroit, MI, on January 17, 1943. Ken was a loving husband, father, and grandfather, as well as a cherished brother, uncle, cousin, mentor, and friend. Ken’s larger-than-life personality made him a special person to many. He loved boating, golfing, and spending quality time with his grandsons. An athlete, Ken loved playing hockey in his youth, and in his later years, he enjoyed playing golf with his fellow members of The Men’s Club of Grosse Pointe.

He also mentored many throughout his years as a Detroit Public Schools teacher. During his career as an educator, he received the Wayne County Golden Apple Teaching Award for Excellence while working at Fisher Magnet School.



Ken will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him. His big heart, dedication to family and education, and kindness will live on in the hearts he touched.

George Buono was born June 19,1930 and passed on December 30, 2025 (95). He became a member of the MCGP July 26, 1994 (31).

George Buono passed away peacefully in his Punta Gorda home on December 30th after 95 wonderful years on this earth. He was a devoted husband to Deanne for 51 years and loving father to their eight children – Frank (Denise) Buono, Mary (Tom) Raguso, Angela (Mark) Rickel, Tom (Monica) Buono, Deborah (Jack) Burton, Timothy (Margie) Saunders, Jeanne (John) Weaver, and Matthew Saunders. He was blessed with sixteen grandchildren and seventeen great-grandchildren whom he adored. George is also survived by his brother Emiddio C. (Mary Ann) Buono and by his beloved nieces and nephew. He was proceeded in death by his parents Francesco and Angelina Buono and by his sister Nancy (Malcolm) Perry. His parents instilled in him a strong work ethic and a love for Jesus. Although he spoke very little English when he began primary school (Italian was spoken in his home), George excelled in his studies. After high school graduation and before college he worked for Chrysler Corporation, pulling heat-treated bumpers from a very hot furnace. This tough and dirty job further inspired him to focus on his education. After earning a bachelor’s degree in psychology from the University of Detroit, he proudly served his country at the United States Army Ordinance Depot in Nancy, France. Upon his honorable release from active-duty George returned to Detroit and spent forty-three years working for Manufacturers Bank, retiring as VP of Operations. It was his honor to represent Manufacturers Bank as a member of the Mid-Atlantic Clearing House Association (MACHA).

Throughout his career with the bank, George led many important and interesting projects, including the selling of banking services to the United Auto Workers Union. He often recalled the story of one of his most difficult marketing efforts; convincing customers to take advantage of an entirely new process – the automatic deposit of their social security benefit checks. George took great satisfaction in coaching and developing young banking professionals and he spent many evenings teaching as a member of the American Institute of Banking faculty. He taught for decades and was a beloved and highly decorated instructor.

George learned to love boating years before his retirement; he and Dee spent countless joyful weekends boating in and around the Great Lakes and each held a 5-ton captain’s license. They were actively involved with the Grosse Pointe Yacht Club, the GPW Boat Club, Power Squadron and loved their time spent on “Club” Island. George was also a long-time member of the GP War Memorial Men’s Club.

After his retirement, George and Dee spent more time in Florida and George quickly entrenched in his new community, joining three computer clubs, a woodworking club, and the Isles Yacht Club, in addition to leading various committees at his church. George genuinely loved his retirement life in Punta Gorda and he and his bride were blessed with a life of fun and a community filled with loving neighbors and friends.

Funeral services will be held at Charlotte Memorial Gardens & Funeral Home in Punta Gorda on Friday, January 9th at 11AM, with visitation starting at 10AM and a luncheon to follow the service. A private burial will be held the following week in Michigan.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Lutheran Church of the Cross – with designation to the Stephen Ministry team. Stephen Ministries is a not for- profit organization that trains lay persons to provide one-to-one, Christ centered care to people experiencing grief, loneliness, divorce, hospitalization and other life difficulties.
