Summary

The March 2013 Beaver Beacon reported that Dave Grosart, 77, died at The Villages Hospital in Florida on February 15. The obituary records his family connection to Beaver Island through his daughter Margaret Ann Peters and describes his work, moves, and retirement.

Evidence limits

Beaver Island is used here for the documented family connection; the death occurred in Florida, and the newspaper notice does not establish funeral or burial details.

  3. A family member announced Grosart’s death and described his connection to the Suncatcher Pub at Traverse City airport; later replies supplied condolences. This adds community context but does not establish funeral arrangements or expand the newspaper’s biographical record.

  4. The post reproduces a Record-Eagle obituary naming Grosart’s February 15 death at The Villages Hospital and his family connection to Beaver Island. It is a secondary repost; the Beaver Beacon and the original newspaper remain stronger for the obituary text.
