Michael Charles Bolton

Michael Charles Bolton, a resident of Grosse Pointe Woods, passed away on December 24, 2019 at the age of 68. A son of the late Charles and Elizabeth (nee Motschall), he was born on May 22, 1951 in Detroit.

Michael was a proud alumnus of John Carroll University in Cleveland, Ohio. He made his career at Art Van Furniture for over 35 years, retiring as Chief Financial Officer in 2017. Michael married Barbara (nee Allmand) on May 1, 1982 in Ann Arbor. They were joined in love for 37 and a half years. When Michael was not working, he could be found golfing or spending time with family. His family admits that they do not know which activity he liked best. Michael organized an annual golf tournament for his friends for 43 years, many of whom he had known since grade school and high school. He also enjoyed vacationing wherever he could find a golf course and a beach.
