It was 1937, Barbara Wilde Dean was a freshman at Shortridge High School in Indianapolis, and roller-skating in the school hallways was strictly prohibited. But that didn't stop her. Neither did any rule or convention that stood in the way of her joyous, adventurous spirit. Barbara roller-skated through her 86 years, finding enjoyment in her every pursuit and pleasure in her every acquaintance. She was a talented knitter, avid basketball and football fan, seasoned traveler, and fearless snow skier. Her presence in the Indianapolis community was enduring. She volunteered with the American Red Cross and Meals on Wheels, served as a board member of both the Junior League and Humane Society chapters, and held memberships with multiple other organizations. She continued her work for animal welfare with the Humane Society after moving to Harbor Springs, Mich., in the early 1980s. |

Nicholas Waring Sulak, born Aug. 15, 1985, was always known as the gentle giant. He grew at an amazing pace from the shy boy hiding in the local grocery store, to the gentleman running for touchdowns for the Boyne City High School football team, to even the man working through a broken leg to stay on the Alma College's football team. Nicholas had a passion to be the best man he could be. He was always the ear for a troubled night, the mouth requesting words of wisdom, and the strong hands to pick up the most cluttered tales of friends, family, and loved ones. Nicholas had a passion for motorcycles, the wind in his face, mountains, the trails treading at his feet, and friends, the one's he'd carry when they couldn't walk on their own. Nicholas led a life full of mystery, adventure, and wisdom. He was a man who wouldn't bow down to any mountain, river, or roadway. On Aug. 7, 2010, Nicholas walked through the gates of heaven with his head held high and his arms wide open, meeting those that have ended their stories before him; proceeded in death by Joseph and Gladys Waring, Jerome Sulak, and Trevin LaBeth. And to that Nicholas Waring Sulak is survived by his grandmother Agnes Sulak, father Eric Sulak and wife Michelle, mother Nancy Donaldson and husband Terry, sisters; Michelle Sulak and Nicole LaBeth, brother Aaron, and hundreds of individuals that could call him a tank, the brother they never had, the friend they could never replace, and the model of what a strong man needs to be. He will never be forgotten… — With Love Aaron Sulak. |
