Detroiter. He graduated
from Northern High
School and Wayne State
University School of
Garlock
Pharmacy. After serving
as a lieutenant j.g. in the
Navy during World War
II, he returned to Detroit
to start his family and career. He worked
as a pharmacist in Detroit until the mid-
1950s, when he bought a drug store in
Pontiac, Garlock Drugs, which he owned
for 25 years. He continued working as a

pharmacist until 2006 (age 87) and only
stopped then because Farmer Jack, where
he had worked for more than a decade,
went out of business. He loved his work
and would happily have continued it into
his 90s.

more pleasure than his work. He married
the love of his life, Phyllis Sandelman, in
September 1941, and he was in love with
her and completely devoted until the day
he died. He was a tireless cheerleader and
role model for his children and grand-
children, a caring and attentive friend,
a thoughtful and generous mentor. He
taught himself to use information tech-
nology so he could stay up-to-date with
advances in pharmacy as well as with
his grandchildren, and he was a tough
competitor at a variety of computer word
games.
