• Wednesday-WhatsUP November 1 - 03:25 am

We pause at the end of another month gone by, to pay honor to the memories of those friends and family that have left us too soon. For October we remember:

In memory of Michael Ryan Ellet who died a year ago today--only
27 years old then. A husband, father, son, friend and member of
his community who should have had many more years with loved
ones and time to spend in the great UP out of doors.

Patricia Hendrickson Wisniewski. A brilliant light, who crossed over and is with us all. She's got some mighty wings....

I loved the duckie from yesterday afternoon. What a great evening he'll have today.

For my dear friend Peggy on the recent passing of her father.

In memory of Dorothy Ager, six years gone. We miss her dearly.

My Mom, Mary (Betty) Beaudoin passed away on OCTOBER 28,1990. It doesn't take a certain month or day for me to remember her.
I'd also like the remember a sweet woman whom I've known since I was a young girl. We girls were welcomed into her home at anytime. And when you were at her home she waslike your other Mother to you when you were away from your own home. You ate her food (and desserts YUM YUM), always had a place to sleep, a loving arm to hold you when you were upset & a lending ear to listen to our enormous love problems with our latest beaus& our other mother problems LOL She could tell us the cutest jokes & also dance the cutest dance right along with us. She was the mother of a dear friend, Sodie Outtinen & my OTHER MOTHER from years ago, Lily Wareham who passed away last week at Our Lady of Mercy Convalescent Home in Hubbell. Rest in peace Lil, your work on earth is through.

In memory of my new son-in-law's new stepfather, George Howard of Gladwin. He passed away suddenly Friday after only being married two years. Our prayers are with his wife and family in this hard time.

In memory of my Maternal Grandmother Cecilia Parr who died when I was 12, but who celebrated her Birthday on this day, October 31st. She was always upset that she had to share her birthday with so many, that she always felt overlooked, when we didn't traverse the St Mary's River to visit her.

And also my Brother Michael C. Brunk, who was taken from this life, December 25, 2005.

"Death is but the dropping of the flower that the fruit may swell." (H. W. Beecher)

"Death wiith the might of his sunbeam touches the flesh, and the soul awakes". (R. Browning)

My mother, Eunice Rowe Gallagher, passed away in Palm Springs, California, on October 8. She was born in Crystal Falls in 1916, and lived in Amasa until 1924. She moved to Crystal Falls and graduated from high school there in 1933. She directed the Augustana Sweedish Lutheran choir there, and worked in the town library before going to NMU in Marquette. Her mother was from Calumet, and for one year (1921-22) they lived in Sidnaw, while my grandmother taught school there. My mother moved to Washington, D.C. during the war and lived there most of her life. I will miss her.

Rich, Bill, John, Hiro, Steve, Sadie, Brie, Mitch, and Bailey.

Sharon Leach Baker - you left us far, far too early.

In memory of my Mom, Trudy (Isaacson) Fields, who we have missed dearly every day since October 9, 2005.

Porter Wagner has gone to his maker. He was 80. Many Tennesseans, of a certain age, will definitely remember Mr. Wagner and his TV show.He was a friend to our Grama White who passed on years ago.

In memory of Aaron Faulkner. Lifetime hunter, fisherman, father and friend. At the age of 28 he passed away in his sleep earlier this month, leaving behind a wife and 6 kids. I don't know if he ever made it to the UP, but the outdoorsman in him would have love it UP there.

In loving memory of my father Bernard Kolka who passed away in Oct. 1985. From his sons Chuck and Pat

A fond goodbye to my Aunt Marion, who died earlier this month. I will never forget you as long as I live. You were so special and will be missed so much.

Remembering my father James Russell Emmons who would have been 93 this October 22nd. He served heroically through WW2, The "Battle of the Bulge" only to leave us tragically years later at a young 52 years old.

Also particularly this month we are still reeling at the loss of 3 of our beloved pets! Our 2 sister Labs "Wiggles" & "Looper" at 13 & 14 years old and our big all White cat "Snowball" who was killed by neighbors dogs running loose.

Dave mentions Porter Wagonner who I remember well. Last nights news told of Robert Goulet a fine French Canadian actor & singer passed yesterday at 73.

Remembering my dad George Baker who passed away October 20th 1994. He taught us how to hunt,fish and respect the land. I miss he everyday of my life.

"Porter Wagner", "Porter Wagonner"

I should probably just shut up and try to ignore this, but I can't, it makes my head hurt!

I think you're referring to (Click ® ) Porter Wagoner

In memory of our sister Irene Erickson Ferrier who passed away Oct sixth 2006. Our lost is still as great as the day you left us. Your sister Mae and brothers Leonard,paul and robert.

In memory of Dennis L. Willitts, who passed away on October 19, 2007. My thoughts and prayers are with you Jack, Joe, and Jonnie.

I saw Porter Wagoner perform at the Grand Ole Opry on September 7th and he seemed fine, full of life and enthusiasm. Now, he's gone not even two months later. I read that the average hospice length is 27 days. He made it two.

In Memory of my mom & dad, John & Betty Ravasz.

Cousin Don Schmitz (Oct 17) gone 2 years.

My spelling of Porter Wagoner was my mistake. Barbara's Grandmother Martha White (Oliver) passed on in December 1983. Porter had many a dinner at Martha's home in Knoxville in the old days, back then she was a Oliver from Cades Cove,TN. She then married John White and moved to MI. Barbara remembers going back stage to see Mr. Wagoner with her Grandmother when he did a concert at the Stage Coach Stop in the Irish Hill's MI. Porter Wagoner was of Irish and German decent. Martha will be a fixin him pinto beans, mess of greens, and cornbread with fried chicken up in Heaven.Thanks (FRNash)hope your head feels better.

In memory of our father, John Dorvinen, who passed away 5 years ago on October 8th. You are missed by all of us, Mike, Jim, Teri and Charlie.

In loving memory of Ruth and John Woodford who passed away within weeks of one another this month.

In memory of my grandfathers, Mala and Tapio. Also in memory of Ray Wiig, Lee Sjoholm, Gina Maki, Bob Maki, and Beth Forslund.

In memory of my grandmother, Phyllis Hilden, who passed on October 16th.

Remembering my grandfather, Grant Hamm who served in the Navy during WWI. His grandfather was a Civil War sailor. Both lived in Escanaba. Grandpa eventually moved to Iron Mountain where he had a dental practice for several years. Of course, I'm also remembering my wonderful Grandmother Gertrude, a lifelong Yooper.
