Arnold Edick

Arnold was born September 2, 1936, the son of Marion and Margaret Edick. He was a graduate of Muskegon Heights High School and served his country proudly in the US Army. On May 2, 1959 he married Nancy Cushman, of Hart, MI. Together they enjoyed 62 years of marriage. Arnold was a past member of the Wolverine Express Bowling Team and as an avid golfer, became a member of Lincoln Golf Course. He thoroughly enjoyed sports and was active in his children’s athletics, coaching baseball, softball, bowling and attending as many events as he could. Arnie, as he was known to friends, was a die-hard baseball fan and loved listening to, and watching the Chicago White Sox. Arnie always knew how to tell a good story and was particularly skilled at creating a bad pun when the opportunity presented itself. He was a hard-working dedicated employee of the State of MI in many positions and retired as Quartermaster from Brooks Correctional Facility, at which point he enjoyed traveling with Nancy by RV for many years. As a soft spoken man with a great love for those closest to him, he will be deeply missed.

Arnold is survived by: his wife Nancy; children, Maureen (Mike Jancek) Wierema, Wendy (Robert) Korson, and Joe (Janet) Edick; grandchildren, Shannon (Derek), Jake, Becky, Sara, Jake, Adam, Mitch, Josie, and Nick Wierema’s children; several great-grandchildren; brother, Al (Maureen) Edick; sisters, Luria (Dennis) Anderson, and Shelley (Dan) Chambers; and several nieces and nephews, and the families of his deceased brothers, and many of Nancy’s surviving nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by: his brothers, Adrian and Roger and his son-in-law, Nick Wierema.
