Bozich, Stanley

Frankenmuth, MI

Stanley "Stan" Bozich passed away on Oct 7, 2018. He was born in Detroit, Michigan on November 14, 1934 to Stan and Alta Bozich. Stan is survived by Lou, his loving wife of 55 years, as well as his beloved daughter, Leeann (Wayne), grandson, Mike, his brothers, Joseph (Patricia) and Jon (Debbie), his sister Cathy (Paul), his sister in law Frankie, and many nieces, nephews, and cousins. Stan joins his parents and his brothers, Eugene (Dee) and Vince in heaven. Stan spent his life in community service. He was a Royal Oak firefighter for 25 years and a Navy veteran. Stan was a history buff and an avid collector of military memorabilia and artifacts. In 1977, Stan and Lou took their love of history and their desire to preserve and share it and founded the Michigan's Own Military and Space Museum in Frankenmuth, MI. Stan and Lou spent the next 40 plus years ensuring that the museum was a success and that the men and women that they proudly called heroes were recognized by the masses. Stan was never more in his glory than when he was giving tours of the changing displays of the museum. Although one might get gently scolded for not paying attention, one definitely ended the tour with feelings of awe, pride and, undoubtedly, a renewed interest in our country and those that fought so hard for our freedom.
