each stage of the grieving process.
Eugene “Gene” William Grantham, a recent resident of Howell, and formerly of Linden, Fenton, and his cherished farm in Hillsdale, passed away at the University of Michigan Hospital, Ann Arbor on February 7, 2016 at the age of 97.
Gene dedicated his career to Michigan Bell Telephone Company where he spend 39 years as an Engineer. After his retirement came the happiest of his occupations–being a “Jack of all trades” on his farm in Hillsdale. Gene dabbled in real estate, teaching, politics, and even delivered mail. He became a winemaker–mastering varieties of Dandelion, Grape, Elderberry, Strawberry-Rhubarb, and Goosesberry. Many of Dorothy’s meals were complemented by Gene’s wine.
Gene is survived by Dorothy, his beloved wife of 45 years; children, Kaye (Fred) Karr, Keith (Jane) Grantham, grandchildren, Lonnie (Natalie) Grantham, Todd (Joanne) Starnes, Shree (Paul) Williams, Cory (Catherine) Starnes, Janene Staley, Keith (Katie) Grantham, Kent Grantham, Katrina (John) Masters, Kellyn (Steve) Creel; 12 great-grandchildren and 2 great-great grandsons; brothers Bob (Helen) Werden, George (Mae) Werden, Edward Werden.
Gene was blessed with an extended family which included step-daughter Christine (Brian) Kelly, son-in-law Tim Dooley; grandchildren, Sara (Cody) Frasz, Katie (Steven) Byrd, Megan Kelly and Brendan Dooley.
