Robert L. Britton

Bob was born on Oct. 26, 1960, in Norway, Mich., the son of Richard F. and Janice (Fleetwood) Britton. He was raised in Powers and Gladstone, graduating GHS in 1978.

Bob had hitchhiked the country as a young man with friends before joining the United States Air Force. After serving his country, Bob joined Associated Springs (ASBG) in Texas, eventually retiring from ASBG in Milwaukee, Wis., due to health.

Bob fought his battle with cancer with the help of his many beloved angels, including Aunt Jeannie, recently deceased Aunt Esther and with the help of many loving family members and friends.

Bob loved his children, grandchildren and family very much.

Bob spent his last years enjoying life in the U.P. with a life-long passion for sports, fishing, gardening, camping, and sharing good times and a bonfire with family and friends.

In addition to his father, Richard Sr., Bob is survived by his daughter Ariel and stepchildren, Rudy, Rachel and Sophia; grandchildren, Uriah, Nehemiah and Moriah of Milwaukee; brothers, Brian (Theresa) Britton, Gladstone, Gary (Trixie) Britton, Traverse City, Richard Britton Jr., Brampton, Jamie (Brandi) Britton, Gladstone, Jeremy (Jane) Britton, Escanaba; sisters, Beth (Steve) Nelson, Rapid River, Barb (Dana) Montgomery, Perkins, Amanda Murphy, New York; sisters-in-law, Vickie Britton of Gladstone and Patti Britton of Gwinn.

Bob is also survived by many aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.
