Kurt Wilhelm Hartmann, age 85, born in Detroit and a resident of West Bloomfield Twp for almost fifty years, passed away on Thursday, April 2, 2020. Beloved husband of Jean for almost sixty years; devoted father of Doris (Daniel) Anderson, Kurt (Cindi) Hartmann and the late Duane Hartmann. Loving Papa of Carly Anderson, Cara and Cami Hartmann. Dear brother of Marianne Kostrewa, Helma (John) Schlaman, Rev. Fr. Richard Hartmann and Paul (Betty) Hartmann and proud uncle of many nieces and nephews.
After high school and a couple of years in the Army, Kurt returned to Detroit to help run the family business, Hartmann’s Catering Co. for many years before starting his own, K & J Catering company. He was blessed with over twenty-five years of retirement. He & his wife Jean were finally able to start traveling and enjoyed many vacations together. Kurt loved lake-living and was very visible in the Green Lake community. He loved his dogs and could be seen walking them multiple times a day for years and enjoyed talking with many neighbors! Everyone knew and loved Kurt. After he retired, he got involved in softball, volleyball, multiple bowling leagues and bike riding. Finally, he was a very devoted fan of the Tigers & Pistons and attended many games over the years.
In lieu of current circumstances and continual changes to our everyday way of life, services will be privately held at Elton Black and Son Funeral Home and interment at Great Lakes National Cemetery in Holly Michigan. Memorial donations may be made to your local food pantry, church or other non-profit in these very uncertain times.
