Lee Edward Coslow, Jr.

Lee “Bud” Edward Coslow, Jr., age 80, departed his earthly home on Wednesday, November 6, 2024, to reunite with his wife.

Lee was born December 22, 1943, in Lansing, MI. He graduated from Houghton Lake High School in 1962. He moved to West Branch after marrying Deborah Rose in 1977. He worked for Roscommon Manufacturer Company for 40 years until he retired. Lee was an avid bow and rifle hunter, excellent marksman, and enjoyed taxidermy. He spent his summers tending to his vegetable garden and relishing the fruits of his labor. His evenings were spent working on crossword puzzles and watching his favorite movies.

Lee and Deb were married nearly 44 years before her passing in 2021. Lee spent the last three years of his life living close to his son at Moore’s Adult Foster Care in Charlotte, MI. He was blessed to find comfort, companionship, and compassionate care among the staff and residents. He spent his last years watching game shows, playing bingo and winning candy, sharing meals with his housemates, and flirting with all the ladies.

Lee is survived by his son, Damon (Cheryl) Coslow; grandchildren, Alina, Bronte, Jeffrey, Jennifer, and Justine; siblings, Micheal Goyette, David Coslow, and Dianna (Ken) Biskner. He was preceded in death by his wife, Deborah Coslow; his stepdaughter, Jessica Rose; and his parents, Lee and Helen Coslow.
