MONROE "BOB"
MOLNER, died

peacefully on March
21, 2014, at age 95.
He was born in
Peoria, Ill. He served
in the United States
Maritime Service
Molner
during World War II
and later graduated
from Wayne State University. He ran a
successful advertising agency for more
than 40 years until retirement.
He will always be remembered as
a Renaissance Man whose broad and
comprehensive knowledge of both
art and science clearly resonated to
all who knew him. In recent years,
Mr. Molner was very active at the
Trowbridge, where he led a debate
group, poetry group, annotated
book club and a drama group. His
intelligence and curiosity about the
world around him clearly defined his
relationships, and he had the unique
gift of truly connecting with people
of varying ages and diverse cultural
and ethnic backgrounds. His physi-
cal presence will be greatly missed,
but his inimitable spirit and soul will
continue.
Mr. Molner is survived by his
daughter, Dr. Irene Schatz (Dr. Arthur
Schatz) of Miami, Fla.; son, William
Molner of East Lansing; five trea-
sured grandchildren, Jennifer Molner
Schatz, Adam Molner, David Molner,
Laura Schatz Lapin (Jeff), and Erin
Schatz Goldstein (Marlon); sister-in-
law and brother-in-law, Ruth Levin
Madoff and Dr. Milton Madoff of Los
Angeles; four great-grandchildren;
two nieces and four nephews.
He was predeceased by his parents,
Ruth and Samuel Molner; sister, Rita
Hoffman; and by his wife of 66 years,
Mildred Levin Molner.
Contributions may be made to
a charity of one's choice. Interment
took place at the Beth Tefilo Emanuel
Cemetery in Ferndale. Arrangements

They were
wonderful:

We hear kind words consistently. We're proud that
people feel comfortable enough with us to openly tell
us how much they appreciate what we did for them.
In fact, it's this appreciation that drives us to offer the
very best in comfort, compassion and service.
