Arthur Eugene House, age 96, passed away peacefully Monday, Nov. 23, 2020. He was preceded in death by his wife of 65 years, Eleanor Jean Bloomer; great-grandson angel, Luke Arthur Campbell; his parents, Vern and Jessie Ruth House; his siblings, Russell (Marguerite), Floyd (Phyllis), Donald (Joann), Margaret (Wes) Pantelin, Donna Mae (Robert) Burgess, and Milton (Marie) as well as his in-laws, Theron and Jennie Bloomer, Arthur Bloomer, and Jack Clancy. He will be lovingly remembered by his children, Candice (Gordon) Hershberger of Wiggins, CO., Lynn Baxter, of Caledonia, , Randall (Linda) House of Rockford, and Wendy (Robert) Taylor of Middleville; grandchildren, Phillip (Ellen) Bowman, Holli (Christopher) Campbell, Troy (Rachel) Bowman, Stacey and Carrie Baxter, Matthew and Amber Taylor, Chad Hershberger, and Betsy (Chad) Kelly; great-grandchildren, Zachary and Benjamin Bowman, Caden and Megan Campbell, Staff Sergeant Bailey Allen, Grant Ballew, Hannah and Karis Kelly, Dr. Nathan (Adair) Kelly and Jonus (Whitney) Kelly; brother-in-law, William (Barbara) Bloomer; sisters-in-law, Gayle Bloomer, Nancy Clancy, Barbara Bloomer, and many nieces and nephews. A veteran of World War II, Art served in the United States Navy as an aviation metalsmith stationed in Kodiak, Alaska where he was responsible for the maintenance of aircraft upon their return from battle, often finding himself in the fuel tanks due to his stature. He was a great fan of the Tigers, Lions, and Michigan State Spartans, however, his true love was the game of golf, playing his last round at the age of 90. He will be remembered by his family for his favorite saying “I may not always be right, but I’m never wrong.” Gifted a coffee mug with the saying would bring a smile to his face. The family would like to express their heartfelt thanks to the staff of Legacies Assisted Living in Caledonia, and Kindred Hospice Care for the wonderful care given Art. A memorial service will be held at a later date when family and friends can gather to celebrate his life. The family would like to suggest donations be made to South United Methodist Church, Kindred Hospice Care, Legacies Assisted Living in Caledonia or the Alzheimer’s Association.Arthur Eugene House, age 96, passed away peacefully Monday, Nov. 23, 2020.
