Richard "Dick" Trombly, age 72, of 123 E. Onota Street, Munising, died unexpectedly at his home on Thursday, December 9, 2010. He was born on January 12, 1938 in Detroit to Urban "Tubby" and Irene (Beaudry) Trombly. Dick graduated from Sacred Heart School and then from Wm. G. Mather High School in 1957. During high school, he was a talented athlete who quarterbacked the football team and played on the basketball team. Dick moved to the Detroit area where he married Joyce LaBelle and they raised their seven children. He worked various jobs until he began employment with Associated Spring - Barns Group in Ann Arbor.
