Obituary for Howard F. Kremer
Howard F Kremer, age 75, of Coleman, Michigan passed away unexpected on Friday, April 29, 2022, from natural causes.
Howard was born in St. Johns, Michigan, on January 15, 1947, the first son of Forest and Dorothy (Williams) Kremer. Growing up on a dairy farm had instilled his great work ethic and a growing curiosity regarding the sciences. He graduated from Elsie High School with the class of 1965 with honors. Then he attended Ferris State College where he was a member of the Marching Band, a fraternity brother of Kappa PSI, and earned a Bachelor of Science Degree in Pharmacy.
On May 6, 1972, Howard married the love of his life, Linda Sue Herington of Grand Rapids, Michigan. They then settled close to both their families in St. Johns, Michigan. He was a pharmacist at Parr’s Pharmacy until 1985. Making a move to live “Up North”, he was then the Neighborhood Pharmacist for the rural communities of Hale and AuGres while living in Lupton, Michigan. This allowed him to enjoy the great outdoors and his hobbies of fishing, hunting, and gardening to the fullest with his family. Howard also enjoyed woodworking, cooking, reading and music.
In 2006, they moved to Coleman where he enjoyed working as a relief pharmacist for several pharmacies in the Mid-Michigan cities of Mt. Pleasant, Auburn, Beaverton, Saginaw, and Bay City. He enjoyed retirement and still being able to work part-time to help customers. He recently was honored as a member of the Michigan Pharmacist Association for 50 years.
