JANICE 
GRUSHOFF-
GAMBLE, 69 of 
Southfield, died 
quietly Nov. 23, 
2020, with her chil-
dren by her side.
Jan always loved being near 
the water. She lived on Union 
Lake before moving to Anna 
Maria Island in Florida. She 
loved animals and worked as a 
dog groomer until she retired. 
She’ll be remembered by many 
friends and family as a free spirit 
who told it like it was.
She is survived by her daugh-
ter and son-in-law, Carley 
and Josh Silverstein; son, Arin 
Hartwell; sister and brother-in-
law, Claudia and Jim Cotter; 
brother and sister-in-law, Kerry 
and Terry Grushoff; grand-
children, Hanna Hartwell, 
Charlotte, Isaac and Fiona 
Silverstein; nieces, nephews and 
many friends. 
Janice was the beloved daugh-
ter of the late Betty and the late 
Jerry Grushoff. 
A private memorial ser-
vice will be held on Anna 
Maria Island in the spring.

charity of one’s choice. 

son. Music was a lifelong 
passion. The Bach Cantatas 
and Verdi’s Requiem Mass for 
Manzoni were some of his 
favorites, but he also loved 
opera. He memorized and 
sang many songs by Gilbert 
and Sullivan and Tom 
Lehrer. Bob was a prolific 
whistler and loved to play 
the flute and the recorder. 
Photography was also a pas-
sion. Hundreds of albums 
contain photos of the family, 
mostly taken by him. And, 
of course he loved to travel 
because that was one of the 
best ways to further nourish 
his insatiable curiosity.
For a man of so much 
intellect, he also had a heart 
of gold and that is the qual-
ity for which he was most 
cherished. Each member of 
his family of 24 expressed 
that they felt unconditionally 
loved and supported by him 
and that Bob was always 
kind, grateful and hum-
ble. When you were with 
him, he was approachable, 
engaged and fully focused. 
One granddaughter recalls 
that her grandfather had 
“an infinite capacity to be 
interested in other people, 
and even with 11 other 
grandchildren, each always 
felt special.” A grandson said 
that because his grandfather 
“really lived the values of 
humbleness, sense of humor, 
work ethic and devotion to 
family, we owe him a huge 
debt for setting us on the 
right path.” His daughter 
recalls that she never heard 
an unkind word from her 
father. “I don’t think he was 
holding back unkind words; 
I just don’t think he thought 
them.” 
Even though Bob knew he 
might succumb to COVID, 
he remained optimistic and 
told his children he had 
“lived a very good life.” He 
embraced life to its fullest 
and was grateful for all the 
opportunities and good 
fortune it had afforded him. 

He had a bright attitude 
and an infectious smile that 
illuminated so many lives. 
Bob lived his life according 
to the words of Rabbi Hillel, 
“If I am not for myself, who 
will be for me? If I am only 
for myself, what am I? And if 
not now, when?”
