He recently retired at the age of 82 from Grant Millman & Johnson, PLC. He was valued by his clients and loved what he did. Mr. Edgar was a wonderful husband to Myrna (Glicker) for 67 years. They were high school sweethearts at Mumford High who went on to marry in 1957 and have four children. They had lots of close friends and loved entertaining. Mr. Edgar was a loving and generous father and grandfather. He was fun-loving, loading the kids in his latest car for a foray to get hot fudge cream puffs, building a treehouse in the backyard, taking them on bike rides and weekends in New York City. He would buy the latest Beatles and Stevie Wonder records for his kids. He loved food, especially his mother-in-law’s Jewish cooking. He loved sailing. He loved violin and piano concertos. He loved Latin music. He loved movies and could identify the most obscure actors even when he couldn’t remember what he did that day. He loved cars and owned just about every make. He loved all cuisines. He loved his dogs. He loved driving. He loved conversation and tended toward the philosophical. Mr. Edgar was an amazing grandfather, too. Nothing made Papa Dick happier than bringing everyone together at home or away. He’d rent a boat and take everyone out tubing on Lake Charlevoix. He’d happily travel to Chicago and Arizona to babysit his grandchildren. Spending a week at Camp Michigania with them was a high point in his year. Mr. Edgar was a graduate of the University of Michigan. Survivors are Myrna; children, Cary (Stacie), Julie, Marla Horwitz and Joan (David) Evans; brother, David (Ruth) Edgar; grandchildren, Zach Edgar, Andrea (Scott) Unger, Robert (Rachel) Edgar; Alexann Greenstone, Joey Evans, Jonathan Evans, Daniel Sklar and Lev Sklar; and four great-grandchildren, Casey, Bran, Tessa, and Dalia. Mr. Edgar was preceded in death by his sister Joy Vronsky. Family and friends of Richard Edgar will be gathering through Thursday evening, March 28 at the residence, 30685 Oakview Way, Bingham Farms MI 48025.
