LOWELL GLEASON
Milan
Lowell Gleason, 62, of Milan, formerly of Dexter, died June 25, 2008, from bone marrow cancer.
He was the beloved only brother of Valorie Gleason of Milan, Lee Ann Lofgren of Camden and Eloise Knight of Fowlerville.
Mr. Gleason retired from the University of Michigan and hoped to enjoy many more years to travel, golf, paint and ride his Harley motorcycle, which he considered precious.
Mr. Gleason shared many adventures with Gary, John, Doug, Tim and Carl, as well as other special friends who were close to his heart. He loved to laugh and have fun, and he lived life to its fullest.
We encourage those who knew him to tell tall tales and outrageous stories about him and remember all the good times.
Cremation has taken place. Mr. Gleason's ashes will be interred at Marble Park Cemetery in Milan, next to his parents.
The family will host a celebration of his life in late July.
Special thanks to his brother-in-law, Thomas Knight, for all his love and support.
"Farewell Brother, we love and miss you."
Arrangements entrusted to Ochalek-Stark Funeral Service in Milan.
