Robert D. Wildman of Holt (formerly of Lake Odessa), passed away August 28, 
2014.  Robert was born in Arizona January 2, 1930.  He attended Carson City 
High School and graduated May 17, 1948.

He then joined the U.S. Navy for four years, during the Korean War, served on 
the U.S.S. Lyman K. Swenson, Destroyer as a radio man.

He was an employee of Ionia State Hospital for 21 years, working on the 
switchboard.  He worked on his father’s farm.  His father disapproved of him 
playing football, but Robert had determination, so he walked four miles home 
after football practice.  He was a carpenter, and loved photography.  He would 
walk two miles to country school, and get the wood stove going before the 
teacher got here, so it would be warm for school.

Robert is survived by his children, Raymond V. Wildman of Lake Odessa, Rodney 
R. Wildman (Mary) of Wisc., Retired Capt. Randolph D. Wildman (Betsey) of 
Florida; grandchildren, Lindsey Wildman, Brittany (Eric) Adams, Randolph 
(Ponch) Jr., Konch (Amanda) Wildman, Ceara (Wildman) Thompson; great 
grandchildren, Morgan Wildman, Allie Adams, baby Jeff Adams, Elain Wildman, 
Tyler Wildman; and brother, Ronald Wildman of Lansing.

He was preceded in death by his son, Rustin Wildman and his parents, Virgil and 
Laura Wildman.

Cremation has taken place.
