Melvin Edward (Clarence) Polega  
March 12, 1944 - March 9, 2024
Melvin Edward "Clarence" Polega, a hardworking and devoted family man, entered 
this world on March 12, 1944 in Kinde, and was born into eternal life on the 
evening of Saturday, March 9, 2024 at his Bay City residence, age 79.  The son 
of the late Edward and Esther (Glaza) Polega, Melvin found joy in assisting his 
father on the family farm, cultivating a lifelong love for farming.  Meeting his 
beloved wife Marie E. (Bolda) Polega during his high school years at North Huron 
High School in Kinde, the two were united in marriage on June 20, 1970, at St. 
Edward's Church.  Melvin dedicated 40 years to General Motors in the shipping 
and receiving department, retiring in 2005.  A faithful Catholic, Melvin was a 
parishioner of Corpus Christi Parish.  Melvin's green thumb was well-known, as 
he cherished summer gardening and took pride in cultivating fresh, healthy 
produce for his family and friends.  Beyond his agricultural pursuits, Melvin 
was a member of various organizations, including the Knights of Columbus, 
Eagles, Future Farmers of America, and the Gera Tractor Club.  Melvin was also 
known for his love of rebuilding and restoring countless antique tractors.   
Family always came first with Melvin; he will forever be remembered for his 
unwavering love of his three children, and constant support and spoiling of his 
grandchildren. His legacy will forever live on.

To carry on his legacy, Melvin leaves the love of his life, his soulmate of 53 
years, Marie Polega; three children, Ed (Amanda) Polega, Melissa Ososki (Scott 
Jensen), and Pamela (Jason) Perkins.  He was the most loving and supportive 
"JahJah" of Jayden, Macy, and Carson Perkins; Wyatt, Nash, and Elise Ososki, and 
Evan and Logan Polega.  Survivors also include his sister, Tina (John) Baker; 
brother-in-law, Charles (Joann) Bolda, along with many nieces, nephews, and 
friends in the Thumb, who knew him as "Clarence."  In addition to his parents, 
Melvin was preceded in death by his brother, Carl Polega; sister, Jeanette 
Kubacki, and brothers-in-law, Harry Wisneski, Henry Kubacki, Alan Bolda, and 
Kenneth Bolda.

Melvin's family will be present to receive visitors on Thursday, March 14, 2024 
from 3:00 PM until 8:00 PM with a 6:00 PM Vigil at Skorupski Family Funeral Home 
& Cremation Services, 821 N. Pine Rd., Essexville, Michigan 48732.  On Friday, 
March 15, 2024, Melvin will be taken to Corpus Christi Parish (Holy Trinity 
Church), 1008 S. Wenona St., Bay City, Michigan 48706, where visiting will 
continue from 9:30 AM until Melvin's 10:30 AM Funeral Mass.  The Rite of 
Committal will follow in Floral Gardens Cemetery.  Memorial contributions may be 
directed to The American Cancer Society.  The entire family wishes to extend a 
heartfelt thanks to the hospice team Covenant VNA for their compassionate care.
