Orvel Case, 84, formerly of Bellevue, passed away Wednesday, Dec. 27, 2006.  He
was born in Wacousta in 1922 to Charles and Maude Gunkel Case.  

Orvel was the Golden Gloves welterweight champion of Ionia county, where he
graduated from high school at Carson City in 1941.  He was a veteran of World

also volunteered at the Veterans Administration Hospital in Battle Creek.  An
avid gardener, Orvel sold raspberries, strawberries and eggs from his small
farm, where he also ran a Christmas tree business for 15 years.  He loved to
bowl, hunt and fish.  He loved his grandchildren and all his family pets.  He
volunteered often at the Our Lady of Great Oak food pantry and always championed
the little man and the less fortunate.

Orvel was preceded in death by his parents, Maude and Charles; his brothers,
Caleb and Charles; and his sisters Rachel and Delilah.  Orvel is survived by his
wife, Winifred Fitz Case; sons, Daniel Lee Case, Conant G. Case, both of Battle
Creek; stepdaughter, Barbara Sagara of Portage; former wife, Vera Bradstreet
Case of Battle Creek and Florida; eight grandchildren and seven
