DEATH: 16 Jan 2020

John Wesley Adle, 78, of Traverse City, formerly of Frankenmuth, went home to be with the Lord on Thu, Jan 16, 2020. 

John was born Sep 25, 1941, in Flint, the son of Charles and Alice (Carroll) Adle. He graduated from Mt Morris High School in 1959 and married Sally (Evans) on Jun 8, 1963. Together they moved to Frankenmuth and raised three children. 

John was a master electrician; he worked in the Flint area for 17 years and then ran Adle Electric in Frankenmuth for 20 years before moving to Traverse City and continuing the business there with his son until his retirement. 

Some of John's favorite activities were spent with family playing ball in the yard, swimming in the pool, golfing, and especially up north at the lake fishing and skiing. 

He also enjoyed a life long hobby of collecting coins. During his retirement years, camaraderie with friends at the local coin shop was especially important to him. 

He is survived by his children, Robert (Heather) of Traverse City and children, Rhys and Erynn, Janet (Dan) Jacoby, of Saginaw and children, Rick Green, Jenna and Julie, Scott (Noreen), of Saline and children, Ellen, Matthew, and Kathleen; also surviving are sisters, Betty (Gary) Robertson, of Myrtle Beach, SC and Barbara Adle of Atlanta, GA. 

He was preceded in death by his wife, Sally; parents, Charles and Alice; and sister, Mary Bass. 

A funeral service for John will take place at 11 am on Mon, Jan 20, 2020 at the Reynolds-Jonkhoff Funeral Home, where visitation will be held one hour prior to the service. John will be laid to rest next to his wife, Sally in Yuba Cemetery in the spring of 2020.
