Dick Bolley, 91

Richard D. Bolley, age 91, of Sturgis, went to be with his Lord and Savior Thursday morning, May 10, 2018, at his home, while surrounded by his loving family.
He was born May 3, 1927, in Mongo, Ind., a son of the late Orcie and Bessie (VanZile) Bolley.
Dick resided in the Sturgis area since 1932, was a graduate of Sturgis High School with the class of 1945 and a member of the state championship basketball team.
On June 30, 1972, he married Lorraine Hazard in Sturgis.
Dick first retired from Formed Tubes Company in Sturgis following 30 years of dedicated employment. He retired a second time in January 1990 from Rood Industries in Sturgis after 10 years of employment.
He was an active faithful member of Sturgis Foresquare His House Church.
Dick enjoyed working in his yard, his pets and feeding the birds. He was an avid sports fan and a true fan of the Notre Dame Fighting Irish. Dick had hobbies and involvements, but what he truly loved and what made him happiest in life was time spent with his family especially his grandchildren and great-grandchildren. There were few school activities or sporting events that he ever missed.
