John W. Dyer, 96 of Chicago and long time resident of Peto-skey/Bay View and Wequetonsing, passed away on February 8, 2012 at his daughters’ home in Petoskey, surrounded by his loving family.

John was born on July 15, 1915 in New York City, the son of Malcolm Peter and Freda Decker. He grew up in Hoopeston, IL and attended Northwestern University in Evanston, IL and the University of Arizona before returning to Northwestern University in Evanston and completing his BA, but it was at the University of Arizona that he met the love of his life, Ruth Crist.

John enlisted in the US Army at the rank of Private in 1940 and was shipped to a line company in the 19th Engineers. With the attack on Pearl Harbor, John’s single year enlistment was cancelled and he was sent to Engineers School and attached to the 20th Engineers as a 2nd Lt. On June 28, 1942, just days prior to him being shipped overseas to Europe, John married Ruth in Chicago, IL. John was then attached to the 816th Army Engineers Aviation Battalion where he served at the Adjutant of his Battalion. John took part in the Normandy landing and helped build the first operational fighter bomber base on the beach head.

Bunter practices his DOG SENSE

Remember the old poster/bumper sticker quote, “Prac-tice random acts of kindness and senseless acts of beauty?” I know I have hit this subject before, but I never fail to be amazed at the generosity of our community, where this attitude is a part of daily life.

I spent part of Sunday after-noon at the 4-H center at the Emmet County Fairgrounds at a fund raiser for Brother Dan’s Food Pantry. This is the third year for this annual event and it was amazing. The place was packed full of people who had paid to at-tend, many of whom were not particularly affluent, simply every day people willing to share. Some of the premier bands/entertainers in the area donated their time, there was wonderful food from many businesses and a small army of volunteers working

constantly to be sure that the buffet was always full. In addition, there was a silent auction with gifts and services donated by businesses and individuals. Everyone there had in some way or another assisted in the cause of raising money to help insure their neighbors had food on their tables in these difficult times.

Next week, there is a similar event for the Manna Project; I have no doubt that it will be a resounding success. There are two fundraising events this month for the Little Tra-verse Bay Humane Society, both of which will be well at-tended and well funded.

Fund raisers held for someone who is sick or for a family who has lost someone and is having trouble meet-ing their bills or for a family that has lost their home to fire are always well attended and very successful. I know from personal experience that when my parents’ home burned down, they were over-whelmed by the compassion and generosity of their friends and neighbors; there was no fundraiser, people just took it upon themselves to offer donations.

Jeri Paige Wilson shared that over Christmas, people would come in to K-Mart and pay off lay-aways for random, anonymous people; when the buyers came to pick up their merchandise, there was no balance due. What a special Christmas present that was for some struggling families. I’ve heard stories from the staffs of the fast-food restau-rants of people going through the drive through and paying for their own food and for the car behind them; I’m told that also happens at the toll booth on the Mackinac Bridge. I happened to stop into both the Salvation Army and the Manna Project offices just before Christmas and the sheer number of volunteers was awesome, people giving not just their money but also their time.

In these days when it seems that news outlets tend to cover only the horrific, head-

line grabbing stories, I am convinced that there is just as much good going on, it just doesn’t seem to merit the same press. And maybe it is true everywhere. I can’t attest to that, but here, we take care of our own; that is what being part of a community means to me. When left to their own devices and choices, people are always willing to dig a little deeper and give, even if it means going without a little for themselves. Helping out your neighbor can mean at-

tending an event like the ones mentioned here or simply dropping off a batch of soup when someone is sick or offer-ing to baby-sit because some-one needs a break. I know of several cases in the last year of virtual search parties helping to look for lost pets. It happens here every day to no fanfare or recognition. I hear people complain about living in small towns because everyone knows your busi-ness. That may be true, but it’s comforting to know that they

will be there for you because they not only know your busi-ness, they care about it. You can have your anonymous city living; I like living where, to borrow a television tune, everybody knows your name.

Got a note this week from Lana Hamlin Tompkins ask-ing if we could mention that her son, Brandon Cavitch, and Amy Umlor became engaged recently and are planning a 2013 wedding. Congratulations and best wishes to Brandon and Amy.

Jeremy and Kelly Flynn Neer received a wonderful early Valentine with the ar-rival of Brody Joseph Neer on Friday, February 10th. Brody was seven pounds, 10 ounces and twenty-one and a half inches long (sounds like a future basketball player.)He was welcomed into the family by older brothers Jack and Andrew. Maternal grandparents are our own Joe and Julie Flynn, paternal grandparents are Art and Deb Neer and Clare VanLaan, all of Boyne City.

Happy Birthday on Thurs-day, February 16th to Jon Marihugh and on Sunday, February 19th, to Tami Keller and Will Morse. On Mon-day, Happy Birthday to the most eligible bachelor in the area, our own T.O., aka Tim Olson, on Tuesday, Febru-ary 21st, Happy Birthday to Kenda Morse Cleven and on Wednesday, February 22nd, to John Cupps and to Susan Riley Sanderson. Hope you all have wonderful days.
