      EMPIRE - Harry P. Kaminski, 85, of Empire, died Monday, July 18, 2005, at 
Just a Whisper in Lake Leelanau. 
      Harry was born in Hamtramck on Nov. 4, 1919, to Max and Veronica 
Kaminski. A veteran of World War II, Harry served with the United States Navy. 
Following his service to our country, he married his wife, Betty, on June 12, 
1945, in Gaylord.
      For 25 years Harry and Betty lived in Utica, where he was a tool and die 
maker. In 1982 they moved to the Empire area, where they enjoyed their 
retirement years. 
      Harry was a very talented builder, constructing many homes and duplexes. 
He completed all of the work on the structures, including plumbing, electrical 
and all phases of the building process. He actively planted trees, including 
many Colorado Blue Spruce on his properties, tremendously enjoying his tree 
farming. 
      Always desiring to stay busy, he always had a project going. Harry was an 
avid hunter, was a member and former King Lion of the Empire Lions Club, served 
with the Civilian Conservation Corps in his early years and was a member of the 
Veterans of Foreign Wars. He also was a member of St. Philip Neri Catholic 
Church in Empire. His greatest joy was spending time with his family.
      Harry is survived by his daughter, Harriet "Sue" Barner of Traverse City; 
sons, David Kaminski of Empire and Greg (Jan) Kaminski of Redwood City, Calif.; 
grandchildren, Cheryl Crimando, Michael J. (Kimberly) Crimando, Brittany 
Kaminski and Jesse Kaminski; and two great-grandchildren, Michael T. Crimando 
and Olivia Crimando. Also surviving is a sister-in-law, Marge Kaminski; a 
niece, Patricia (Ron) Wilkowski and a cousin Stan (Lillian) Pykosz. 
      Harry was preceded in death by his wife, Betty; his parents; a brother, 
Joseph; and a sister, Joan, who died in childhood. 
      Visitation will take place at the Reynolds-Jonkhoff Funeral Home on 
Thursday, July, 21, 2005, from 3 to 6 p.m. Visitation will continue at St. 
Philip Neri Catholic Church in Empire on Friday, July 22, from 10 to 11 a.m., 
at which time the Mass of Christian Burial will begin. The Rev. Father Garth 
Hilmer will serve as celebrant. Burial will be in Maple Grove Cemetery in 
Empire.

family asks that you consider the Parkinson Support Group, 10049 E. Grandview
