DOROTHY 
FARER, 97, 
passed away, Jan. 
5, 2020.
She was born in 
1922 to Russian 
immigrant parents. She 
grew up during the Great 
Depression, which had an 
impact throughout her life. 
Dorothy was a “health food 
nut” before it was fashionable, 
strongly believing in food as 
medicine. She married Joe 
Farer in 1950 and had two 
daughters, Susan and Julie. 
Despite many losses and 
challenges she faced in her 

life, she always looked for the 
good in everything and every-
one. She will be remembered 
for her genuine interest in 
others, positivity, passion for 
healthy living, beauty and love 
of family.
Mrs. Farer is survived by 
her daughters, Susan (Peter 
Forbes) and Julie; two grand-
daughters, Hayley and Sofie 
Forbes. 

MICHAEL 
HARVEY 
GLICKER, 79, a 
Mumford High 
School graduate, 
died Jan. 11, 2020, 
in Chicago, his 
home for most of his adult life. 
Mr. Glicker was born 
Aug. 26, 1940, to Joseph and 
Genevieve Glicker of Detroit. 
He grew up in Northwest 
Detroit, graduating from 
Mumford in 1958. He was a 
member of the Princetons, a 
club for brainy students who 
preferred books to sports. 
Another club member and 
good friend, Mark Schlussel, 
remembers Mr. Glicker as 
“always very cerebral, very 
smart and fun to be with.”
Mr. Glicker received a B.S. 
degree in business admin-
istration from Wayne State 
University and went on to 
graduate from the University 
of Michigan Law School in 
1965. He moved to Chicago, 
where he joined an account-
ing firm as an attorney. He 
also worked at A.B. Dick 
Company, which is credited 
with inventing the mimeo-
graph, and at Quaker Oats.
He was an avid collector of 
fine art photographs, some 
of which he gifted to the Art 
Institute of Chicago. Among 
his collection were works by 
Andre Kertesz and Brassai, 
both Hungarians who found 
fame as artists in the early to 
mid-20th century Paris. He 
enjoyed the theater and cham-

ber music, and he remained a 
steadfast Tigers fan his entire 
life. He attended Temple 
Sholom in Chicago and had 
a tight-knit group of friends 
who shared Passover seders 
and Thanksgiving meals 
together.
Mr. Glicker is survived by 
his sisters, Myrna (Richard) 
Edgar and Ronna (the late 
Dale) Stanley; nieces and 
nephews, Cary (Stacie 
Arkules) Edgar, Julie (David 
Sklar) Edgar, Marla (Larry) 
Horwitz, Joan (David) Evans, 
Ken (Nicole Mares) Stanley 
and Kim Rey; and many good 
friends.
A private memorial 
service will be held later.
