Fr. John Chang
As the obituary notes, Bob was a member of the Knights of Columbus – in the Reverend Mitchell J. Cetkowski Council, No. 6201 (also known as the Howell–Jackson Council of the KofC), which was founded on Feb. 28, 1970. He served as the council’s sixth Grand Knight, leading the council from July 1, 1975, through June 30, 1976.
The obituary also says that “the role [Bob] treasured the most was as Grandpop.” As each grandchild went off to college, Grandpop acquired a ballcap. One story I have heard is that at a family event celebrating one of Grandpop’s milestones, he proudly “doffed” his hat to each grandchild in turn, by wearing each ballcap for about a half-hour or so and then switching to the next grandchild’s hat. Talk about wisdom, dedication, and love .... That’s the kind of person our brother Bob was ... for his family ... and for everyone, including his friends.
Requiescat in pace.
