Donald David Chuey

HI! My name is Ruth Berklich. I rented the apartment in Mr. Chuey's home for several years when I was single as Ruth Kushner, about 20 years ago! The Chuey's were very kind, and to keep me as a tenant, they never raised my rent all 3-4 years! I did not know that Don had passed until I noticed that the Lake Orion house had been sold, so I drove by to say goodbye.

God bless your family! You were there for me, and I will always be grateful!

Mr. Chuey was my math teacher at Pontiac Northern. Math was not my best subject, but Mr. Chuey was patient with me and funny, and he made sure I made it through the class. My thoughts and prayers are with your family.

May the God of comfort be with the family at this difficult time.

It's sad to hear of Don's passing. He was a fascinating character and I enjoyed the many times I visited the lake house.

Many may not know of the incident in which Don became a machete-wielding man running through the concourse of Detroit Metro Airport.

In the early summer of 1980 I rode my motorcycle from Arizona back to my home town of Lake Orion. For personal protection (not that I ever needed it, and I've long since ceased worrying about such things), I'd packed a machete...

A gentle, kind, loving, giving, humble man. I am proud to have been his son for 53 years. He set examples for living that will be remembered.
