Condolence From: Doug Ahonen
Condolence: Aunt Virginia, Joan and Karen, May our great Lord and Holy Spirit comfort all of you at this difficult time. (Pls. enjoy the pictures I attached). I will always remember Soft Spoken friendly Uncle Tem. In Lexington, in the cabins, Christmas parties at the house in Redford and Fulton! I would remember Uncle Tem coming home in Redford from work with plaster all over his shoes and t-shirt after work. He would hurry up and change and jump in that beautiful Pool on the hot summer end of day at your house. I remember Uncle Tem's always pointing his index finger at me. "OTB" on the ball he would always say. I miss golfing with him at the Copper Harbor Motor Lodge golf course. I miss my Uncle Tem. He is with his other 4 brothers and son Tom now in Heaven. With all of my Love, Doug

Condolence From: Kim Randa Gundlach
Condolence: "Perhaps they are not stars, but rather openings in Heaven where the love of our lost ones pours through and shines down upon us to let us know they are happy." Heaven gained a bright star with the passing of Tem. It was always a pleasure to "run" into Tem in the community - always a smile, a hello, how are you --- the Ahonen "boys" always seemed like family to me - having grown up with them visiting my parents. Please know we share in your sorrow, but delight in the pleasure of knowing such a kind man.

Condolence: Dearest Virginia, Joan, Karen and the rest of your amazing families. My deepest sympathies to all of you. Uncle Tem, the last of 11, hard to believe. I always loved talking hockey with him or just talking about anything Keweenaw. I am confident that all who new him were better off because of it. He leaves an incredible legacy in those he touched. Blessings that God's grace will be sufficient. You were an amazing man Melvin.
