Dad went to San Francisco and worked at an ice-skating rink for about a month, then back to Michigan and married Tanya Marie Smallwood. When he married my Mom we lived on Dickinson street then eventually moved into the house on Fifth St. which eventually burned down from a kid (Cox) playing with matches in our shed. When the house burned down we lived in Grandma Smallwoods house. Then my Mom / Dad split up due to his drinking and myself, my Mom and Brad moved into the VanHorn Apartments in Woodhaven. Was suppose to visit me in Oregon in January 2004, but he drank too much New Years Eve and was found dead around 2pm January 1st. He died of a Heart Attack. He smoke and drank alot and didn't take care of his health. The family decided to have him cremated and placed in his fathers grave in Michigan Memorial Park in Flatrock, MI. The winter is very harsh in Michigan, so they waited until Spring to bury him. The family had a hard time coordinating a burial, so he sat in the funeral home until September of 2004 before he was finally layed to rest above his Father.
