Harry E. Zielinski, 80, of Hampton Twp., our kind and devoted father, brother, uncle and friend was born into eternal life on the afternoon of Tuesday, June 10, 2014 at McLaren Bay Region. Harry was born in Bay City on April 7, 1934, the son of the late Edward and Florence (Gruczynski) Zielinski. Harry attended St. James School and would go on to work at General Motors, where he retired after many years of dedicated service. A humble and faith-filled man, Harry was a devout Catholic and parishioner of St. John the Evangelist Church. Known for his green thumb, Harry enjoyed gardening, camping, hunting and fishing.

I got to know Harry when he joined Save Brian’s House Community Group after McLaren Bay Region closed the existing Brian’s House.. He attended meetings and lent support for our goal of opening a residence in Bay County that specialized in quality end of life care and provide support for their loved ones by; finding and working with an existing hospice agency or building a residence with the support of the community.
We will miss his smile and his pleasant personality. Rest in Peace Harry and thank you for all of your efforts.
