Obit: A Celebration of Life for my Uncle Sonny (Earl D. Corbett)
Posted By RichC on August 10, 2023
My dad’s younger brother, my Uncle Sonny, passed away in his home on July 20, 2023. He lived a full life, had a loving family and enjoyed living on a small southern Michigan lake for much of his life. I remember him most clearly from when I was a boy as the energetic and high spirited uncle … especially when gathered at “what once was my grandparent’s cottage with an outhouse” on Posey Lake … eventually to become an actual house … and “home” for Uncle Sonny and Aunt Fran.
If there are regrets in my life, one of them might be not working harder to remain closer to my father’s family as the years passed and life got busier … although suspect I am not alone with these thoughts? For now, I’m looking forward to “celebrating his life” with his family on Sunday.
Earl D. Corbett, 90, of Hudson, Michigan passed away peacefully, surrounded by his family at his home on Posey Lake on July 20, 2023. He was born on October 10, 1932, in Toledo, Ohio, the son of Earl and Helen (Hirth) Corbett. He married the love of his life, Francine Sharrock, on December 8, 1952, in Toledo, Ohio.
