Garry Soorus Obituary

Garry William Soorus, 74, of Bark River passed away on Wednesday, June 15, 2016 at his home. He was born on September 28, 1941 in Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan and lived in the suburbs of Dafter while he attended school in Brimley. Garry graduated as salutatorian from the Brimley school system and then attended and graduated from the Michigan College of Mining and Technology in Houghton in 1965.
Garry served his country in the U.S. Army and is a Vietnam veteran. He worked for the State of Michigan in liquor control until his retirement.
He is survived by two brothers: George and Gerald Soorus; and one nephew, Eric (Shannon) Soorus.
Garry also has many relatives and friends in New Hampshire, Florida, Texas, California, and Oregon and many places in between.
Garry always tried to be a kind and generous man and he believed that after a person's death, a celebration of that person's life would be appropriate. So, in keeping with Garry's thinking, an informal celebratory memorial get-together of family and friends will be held by the family at some later date.
The Allo Coolman Funeral Homes are assisting the Soorus family. Please visit the website www.allofh.com to send online condolences to his family. And, of course, many of you are wondering if Garry was a backer of D. Trump. The answer is an unequivocal No (thank goodness).
