Wednesday, November 05, 2003 HURON DAILY TRIBUNE
Fabian S. Lemanski, 89, a lifelong resident of Harbor Beach, went home to the 
Lord on Tuesday, November 4, 2003, at Courtney Manor of Bad Axe.  He was a 
resident there for nine months.   Fabian was born May 10, 1914 in Harbor 
Beach, son of Frank and Agnes (Pawlowski) Lemanski.  He and Leona Peyerk were 
married September 4, 1938, at St. Joseph Catholic Church of Rapson.  They 
lived on North Finkle Road after they were married.  They purchased their farm 
in 1942 in Sigel Township and have lived there ever since.   Fabian was a 
dairy and crop farmer his entire life.  He was a lifetime member of Our Lady 
of Lake Huron Catholic Church in Harbor Beach and a school board member for 
Cooper School.  He was also a member of the Michigan Milk Producers 
Association. When he was 21, he traveled to the Dizzy Dean Baseball Camp in 
Hot Springs, Arkansas. He tried out for the Detroit Tigers as a pitcher.  
Because he developed a sore pitching arm, that career never materialized.  He 
played baseball for many years for the Halfway Baseball Club Team as a 
pitcher, catcher and first baseman.   Fabian loved his family. He loved 
baseball, Polish and country music, and playing cards, especially euchre.   

Fabian is survived by his wife of 65 years, Leona, of Harbor Beach; four 
daughters, Virginia Gentner and her husband, Richard, of Royal Oak, Shirley 
Guza, of Ubly, Marjorie Booms and her husband, Dan, of Harbor Beach, Betty 
Durr and her husband, Carl, of Bad Axe; one son, Randy Lemanski and his wife, 
Sue, of Harbor Beach; 23 grandchildren, Carol (Tom) Septer, Jayme (Tom) 
Halter, Perry (Karen) Gentner, Jeff (Jeanne) Gentner, Steve (Sandi) Guza, Mary 
Jo (Larry) Roggenbuck, Dan (Paula) Guza, Deb (Matt) Knarian, Terry (Jean) 
Guza, Jeanne (Andy) Guza, Jr., Sally Hazel, Gary (Terra) Booms, Scott (Shelly) 
Booms, Rick Booms, Sandy Booms, Michael Lemanski, Jodi (Kevin) Holdwick, Jason 
Lemanski, Russell "Rusty" Lemanski, Ryan Lemanski, Robin, Kelly, and Brandon
