Bus owned and operated the Adams Ford dealership in Stanton for 48 years until his retirement in 1993. He was a loving husband, a great father and an awesome grandpa. He proudly served our country as a Private First Class in the National Guard and a 1st Lieutenant in the Army where he served under General Patton during World War II and was a Purple Heart recipient. Bus loved being outdoors, especially hunting, fishing and playing golf, which he was quite good at. He also enjoyed spending time at his cabin on the Manistee River. Bus was also an avid Tigers and MSU fan. For 30 years, Bus & Margaret enjoyed spending their winters in North Padre Island, Texas where many wonderful memories were made and great friendships were built. During his career, Bus was very active in the community serving in the Stanton American Legion, Sheridan VFW, Stanton Rotary, he was a member of the Central Montcalm School Board and was a former board member of the Michigan Automobile Dealers Association.
A Mass of Christian burial is being held on Friday, September 15, 2017 at St. Bernadette of Lourdes in Stanton beginning at 11 AM with Father Dominic Tirkey officiating.
