William Wedworth Penoyar

William W. Penoyar Jr.. 84 of Grosse Pointe Farms, cherished father of Lex Penoyar and Michael Penoyar (Amy) and doting grandfather to Matthew and Nathan Penoyar, passed away on October 8 in his home, in the loving arms of his children. Mr. Penoyar was a 3rd generation Farms resident. He was predeceased by his wife of 54 years, Patricia. They were members of the G.P. Congregational Church. Born in July of 1929, he graduated from G.P. South High School and Wayne State University before earning his MBA in Finance from the University of Michigan. He served as a Lieutenant in the Air Force during the Korean War, joking that he "flew a desk". Returning to Grosse Pointe, he worked in accounting, eventually working for the IRS for 30 years as a field auditor. For many years, Mr. and Mrs. Penoyar could be found dancing at various ballroom events. They were members of The Merry-Go-Rounders, of which he was President for several years, and The Villagers dance groups. Upon retiring, he joined the Lion's Club, The Senior Mens Club, The Rotary Club, The G.P. Bicycling Club, taught adult literacy courses, and also served as Commodore of the G. P. Farms Boat Club. Mr. Penoyar's wry wit, and enduring and irrepressible sense of humor made him well loved by everyone fortunate enough to have the opportunity to know him.
