Gordon George Pohl's Obituary
Paris - Gordon G Pohl, retired and longtime resident of Paris, MI, passed away unexpectedly on Saturday November 7th, 2020 at the age of 84.
He was born in Detroit, the son of Walter Harold and Helen (née Kulczycki) Pohl and was one of 7 children. One of Gordon's favorite childhood memories was of his beloved Grandma Ida Pohl baking pies and listening to her play piano. He grew up in Sterling Heights, MI and was an avid boater. His family has fond memories of skiing and boating outings with Gordon at the helm. He was also an outdoorsman and loved fishing, hunting, camping, golfing, and gardening. Gordon remained his own man, independent and ever making plans right up to his time of passing.
Gordon is survived by his three children, Jeffrey Pohl, Lynnette Pohl, and Steven Pohl; his brother Leonard Pohl; sister Phyllis (Pohl) Cece; and three grandchildren, Heidi, Bergen, and Harper Pohl.
A private family gathering is planned for remembrance. Care and arrangements are entrusted to the Mohnke Funeral Home in Big Rapids. Share a memory or express condolences at mohnkefuneralhome.com.
