Lake Odessa Wave-Thursday April 13, 1967

Former Resident Dies In Tractor Accident
Max Leroy Vandecar, 49, native of Lake Odessa and son of the late Lewis and 
Florence Vandecar, was killed in a tractor accident at his home at 7222 Sunset 
Drive, Delta township, Sunday.

He left here for Lansing about 1940 and several years later started in the 
bicycle business. His shop was located at 307 E.Shiawassee St., under the name 
of Van's Bike Shop. During World War II he also held a defense job at the Reo 
plant.

According to a report from the Delta township Fire Department, the accident 
happened when Mr Vandecar was grading the lawn at his new home.  His tractor 
became mired, and Dennis, a son, hooked another tractor to it, causing it to 
overturn. Mr. Vandecar received head injuries.

Surviving are his wife Marian, three sons, Dennis and Gordon, who have bicycle 
shops of their own, and Douglas who worked with his father; four grandchildren; 
a sister Mrs Thelma Vandecar of Lake Odessa and three brothers, Vaughn of East 
Lansing, Clayton and Clare of Lansing.

Funeral services were held Wednesday at  2 at the Jessen Funeral Home with 
burial in Lakeside cemetery, Lake Odessa.
