Marlin H. Rose Born in Cache, OK, 7 February 1915, he died 16 October 2007 at home and was a resident of Tucson since 1942. Prior to his arrival in Tucson, he lived in Oklahoma, Texas and Albuquerque, NM, where he was the owner and operator of the Lobo Service Station. During WWII, he was the Hydraulic Foreman for Consolidated Aircraft and oversaw the hydraulic refit and repair of many aircraft including the B-24. He began work for Sears in 1946 as the Automotive Manager and was responsible for opening the Automotive Center at Park Place Mall. He remained with Sears until his retirement in 1974. Marlin loved fishing, hunting, and summers at his Mt. Lemmon cabin. There wasn't a plant he couldn't grow or a mechanical item he couldn't repair. If he couldn't find what he needed, he simply made it. His favorite things were good steaks, pinto beans, and Miller High Life, and oh by the way, he hated peas! Marlin was preceded in death by his parents Otis R. Rose and Maud Isabelle, four brothers and three sisters. He is survived by his partner, Ann Hoff; son, Greg (Sabine) Rose; daughter, Janet (Tony) Fortuno; and granddaughters, Stephanie, Anneke, Ashlea and one great-grandson, Rowan; his sister, LaVeta (Osa) Coates, and many loving nieces, nephews and friends.
