Melvin J. Lewandowski Melvin J. "Pini" Lewandowski, age 83, of Macomb, Mich. died Friday, January 8, 2010, at his home. He was born October 22, 1926, in Detroit, Mich. to the late Constantine and the late Mary Lewandowski. Melvin ( "Pini" to his friends) was a World War II veteran of the US Army, and an avid Detroit Tigers fan. He was also a golfer who had a true love for the game, and was a professional caddy back in the late 1930s and early 1940s at Plum Hollow CC & Detroit CC. Having "carried the bag" for many of the top name professional golfers and celebrities of that era, he always had a story to tell that was funny and brought a smile to everyone who was fortunate enough to hear them, no matter how many times. But more importantly was his love for his family. He is predeceased by the love of his life, his wife of 60-plus years, Lottie. Together, they defined not only what true love is, but what being in love really means. He was also the "poster child" for what a father, grandfather and friend is and what being that was all about. He will be sadly missed, but to quote a dear friend, "To live in the hearts of those we leave behind is never to die!" Pini (Dad) now lives on in our hearts and will be there forever. Pini is the beloved husband of the late Lottie. Loving father of Gary (Lori), Barbara Hughes, and David (Paulie). Dear grandfather of Eric, Stephannie, Lisa, Kristy, Carly, Alex, and Megan. Memorial visitation for Mr. Lewandowski will be Saturday at noon until 4 p.m. at the D.S. Temrowski & Sons Funeral Home, 30009 Hoover Road at Common (12 � Mile Road). A remembrance service will be held at 1 p.m. In lieu of flowers memorial contributions may be made to the VA (Veterans Hospital) in Detroit. Please share memories at www.Temrowski.com. |

William 'Billy' Robert Hatchett, Jr. Wednesday, January 13, 2010 10:00 AM - GateHouse Media, Inc. |
William “Billy” Robert  Hatchett, Jr., age 39, of Lowell, formerly of Tecumseh, passed away unexpectedly early morning Jan. 10, 2010, as a result of a snowmobile accident. Billy was born May 16, 1970, in Brunswick, Maine. He was the cherished and devoted son of William and Rose Anne (Hickey) Hatchett.  In July 2005, he married Katie Hawk. He was a 1988 graduate of Tecumseh High School and completed two years of college. He was a licensed and talented carpenter who loved the planning, creativity and design of his work.  In his words, “being a builder offers a creative release that I crave.” To quote a friend, “Bill Hatchett will work till he bleeds and then work some more.” Many people have experienced his generosity and compassion. Billy’s friends are numerous and lifelong — his commitment to family and friends was boundless. He lived life with enthusiasm and his passions were many: family, friends, music, dancing, Newfoundland heritage, boating, snowmobiling, animals, Michigan football and most of all he treasured his Mom. Besides his wife, Katie, he is survived by his mother, Rose Anne Hatchett; sisters, Jani (Matt) Cooke and their children, Lincoln, Keenan and Piper Rose; Amy (John) Rotche and their children, Payton and Quinn; many aunts, uncles and numerous cousins. Each cousin had a special place in his heart. Also surviving are his father- and mother-in-law, Denny and Linda Hawk; sister-in-law, Kirsten (Matt) Lahti and their daughter, Sienna; brother-in-law, Dusty (Marianne) Hawk and their sons, Dethan and Eli. His absence will be immensely felt by his nieces and nephews.  Billy has joined his father, William Robert Hatchett, Sr., in God’s arms. We ask God to send his angels to happily take him into eternity. Billy’s presence in this world will be deeply missed. A Memorial Mass will be held 11 a.m. Saturday, Jan. 16, 2010, at St. Elizabeth Catholic Church, Tecumseh, with Fr. Daniel Wheeler officiating. A Vigil Prayer service will be held from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Friday, Jan. 15, 2010, at St. Elizabeth Catholic Church, 506 N. Union St., Tecumseh. Services will also be held in Lowell at 1 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 14, with the Rev. Dean Bailey officiating. Visitation will be 2 to 4 and 6 to 8 p.m. today, Jan. 13, at the Roth-Gerst Funeral Home, 305 N. Hudson St., Lowell. Condolences to the family may be made at www.pursefuneralhome.com.   |
