Robert and Dorothy Jean (Osgood) Sirrine

Bob Sirrine grew up here, worked in the fields around town, participated in nearly all activities in High School, escorted Dorothy Jean Osgood to the movies when he was thirteen.  He met her dad, too, and early on gained an interest in his life’s work as a funeral director. 

The war came.  Bob joined the Navy in 1943 and earned his Wings in 1944. He came home to marry Dorothy Jean on August 13, 1944, and the newlyweds moved cross-country to California.

On returning to Michigan after the war, Bob’s career in funeral service continued too as he joined Glenn Osgood in the family funeral business.  Bob had found his calling. 

Bob and DJ raised their family on North Clinton in the house of his grandparents next door to his parents.

Over the years in the St. Johns community, Bob and Dorothy found countless opportunities to make contributions to local service clubs, veteran’s organizations and church activities.
