Obituary for Robert Holbrook
ADRIAN – Robert J. Holbrook, age 66 of Adrian, passed away Wednesday, January 13, 2010, after an 18 month battle with cancer.

Robert was born July 20, 1943 in Hudson, the son of John and Laudie (Whittaker) Holbrook.

For the past 30 years, Bob, along with his three sons, has owned and operated Centerview Golf Course, cultivating many friendships. Even as his health deteriorated, Bob was at the course, and could often be found mowing. Prior to that he worked for Brazeway where he served as union representative. Bob was an active member of the Moose, the Elks, and the Eagles.

Bob is survived by his three children: Robert J. (Annie) Holbrook, Jr., of Clayton; Rodney D. Holbrook of Manitou Beach; and Sean M. (Lana) Holbrook of Onsted; his former wife, best friend, and caretaker, Patricia Holbrook of Brooklyn; eight grandchildren: Samantha, Andrew, Cameron, Brett, Mindy, Christopher, Sierra and Dakota; three great grandchildren: Aven, Hayden, and Evelyn; sister, Beth (Bill) Faust of FL; brothers, Beau ‘Bo’ (Judy) Holbrook of Onsted, and Bill (Rose) Holbrook of Adrian; and many nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his parents.

The funeral service for Bob will be held at 1:00 p.m. on Monday, January 18, 2010 at Wagley Funeral Home, with Rev. Greg Burdine officiating. Burial will follow at Lenawee Hills Memorial Park. Friends may visit the family at the funeral home on Sunday from 3 to 8 p.m. You may also send condolences at www.wagleyfuneralhome.com. Contributions in memory of Bob may be made to Centerview Golf Course, for a memorial tree fund, or Hospice of Lenawee. Envelopes are available at Wagley Funeral Home.
My note: He might have been the son of John Bruce Holbrook, of Hudson, Michigan.
