Petoskey News-Review, Thursday march 4, 1999 P A2
Vincent A. Pope, of Alanson, went to be with the Lord on March 3, 1999, at his
daughter's home in Manistee.

He was born Sept. 4, 1916, in Oden, the son of A.H. and Clara Pope.  He
graduated from Alanson High School and went to work for A&P.

On July 14, 1938 he and Fanabel Ramsby were married in Petoskey.  They were
together for 54 years until her death in 1992.

Dad served in the U.S. Army First Infantry Division during World War II.  He
survived Omaha Beach on D-Day and was awarded the Bronze Star and Purple Heart.

In 1979, he retired from A&P with 44 years of service and had more time to enjoy
square dancing, bridge and traveling with our mother.  He also enjoyed his
garden, flowers, family and just being outdoors.

Dad was a volunteer driver for the Red Cross and the Friendship Center for many
years and an active member of the Methodist Church for most of his life.

He was preceded in death by his wife, Fanny; parents; brothers, Bernie and Dewey
Pope.

He is survived by his brother Emerson Pope of Cincinnati, Ohio; his daughters
and sons-in-law, Mary Jo and John Engwall of Manistee, Susan and Gary Bondeson
of Lansing and Julie and Kurt Edenbum of Manistee; and son and daughter-in-law
Vincent J and Alice Pope of Alanson.  Thirteen grandchildren and 11
great-grandchildren survive along with his "buddies," Abner and Puffy.

Dad was deeply loved and will be greatly missed by his family and many friends.

Services will be held at 1 p.m. Saturday, March 6, at Stone Funeral Home in
Petoskey, with visitation from 5-8 p.m. Friday March 5.

Contributions may be made to the Petoskey Friendship Center in his memory.
