Jindra Family Tree Roots and Branches

I found out there was a school in Fischerville and I added the history of the school to the Church and School section.  Members of my family (John Bouda, Ed. Chaloupka) were members of the school board for years.

Our family mourns the loss of one of our members. The following is the obituary as written in the Manitowoc Herald Times.

Grandpa Dickie, as everyone knew him by, was a great person, loved by all he came in contact with. Dick served in the U.S. Air Force and met his late wife Sylvia when he was stationed in England. He moved back to his hometown of Two Rivers, and started a long career working in the Oil Industry, which took him and his family to many places, ending up in Stanwood, Mich. Dick was involved with all his grandchildren’s activities and liked nothing better than to have his family around him. He was also very active in his church. Dick was preceded in death by his wife: Sylvia; and grandchildren: Nicole Fewless and Zachary Parman. He leaves behind four daughters and their families: Susan Fewless and her children, Kristopher and Nathan; Jane (John) Parman and her children, Andrea and Jacob; Patsy (Dan) Gettings and her children, Kyle, Tyler, and Chelsea; Julie (Mark) Leasher and their children, Bailey, Jordan and Dylan; and his sister: Carol Andrews. A niece Carne Andrews, and many cousins, family and friends also survive.

Cremation has taken place. Visitation is 6 to 8 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 19, 2008, with a Memorial Service at 11 a.m. on Wednesday, Feb. 20, 2008. These both will take place at Redeemer Lutheran Church, 12775 Northland Drive, Big Rapids, Mich., 49307.

The family asks that in lieu of flowers donations be made to Redeemer Lutheran Church.
