Joseph Wyese Obituary, Death Cause – In the city that he calls home, Ypsilanti, Michigan, on the 29th of August 1959, Larry Wyese was born to his mother, Cleta “Sue” Wyese. He was a stalwart union supporter who organized and bargained for many local and national unions in the 1990s, and he spent the last two decades of his life working as an over-the-road truck driver, a retirement career that allowed him to fulfill his love of traveling across the country. He was a proud Willow Run Flyer who went on to master several trades over the course of his lifetime. As a passionate guitarist, Larry devoted his spare time with music, and he was also interested in target shooting.
It was in August of 1978 when he first met Vicky Curtis at the Ford Motor Company factory in Ypsilanti, where they both worked. He immediately fell in love with her. Theirs was a lightning-fast relationship, and on December 23 of the same year, they tied the knot. The young couple experienced intense feelings for one another before divorcing the next year, making headlines by doing so, and then beginning to date again almost immediately before being remarried on May 9th, 1980. They were just unable to maintain their separation. Their boundless love for one another and unwavering commitment to one another is a model that every marriage should try to emulate.
Crystal Rose was born into Larry and Vicky’s family on September 8th, 1980, and she was the first of their cherished children. After then, on July 21st, 1988, Stephanie Sue was born. Larry was a wonderful father who always supported and encouraged his daughters in anything they were passionate about. He never missed a game, tournament, or performance, and as his children got older, he shared his love and support with their friends and partners. But more than being a wonderful parent, Larry’s biggest accomplishments were his nine grandkids, whom he adored and talked about at any occasion he could find to do so.
Larry’s mother, Sue, his mother-in-law, Rosetta Blackwell, his father-in-law, Ardell Curtis, and his brother-in-law, Larry Curtis, all passed away before him. He is survived by his treasured wife Vicky; two daughters, Crystal (Gregory) Fowler and Stephanie (Adam) Stockford; nine grandchildren Andrew (Katie) Fowler, Cayla (Alex Stamatopoulos) Fowler, Abigail Fowler, Brayden Fowler, Charles Fowler, Jude Myers, Jacob Urban-Wallace, Adam “AJ” Stockford, and Mara Stockford; brothers, Michael Wyese and Frederick Wyese; brother-in-law Don Mitchell, and niece Chloe Wyese.
Following Larry’s instructions, he will be cremated, and his family will hold a private memorial service to celebrate his life. During this trying time, the family would like to express their gratitude to the Flint family, as well as the rest of the staff at Flint Trucking and Truck Service, for all of the support and help they have provided.
