Junior Allen Long, 80, of Hamilton, MI passed away Sunday, April 29, 2018 at Providence Healthcare and Rehabilitation Services in Zeeland. Mr. Long was born October 9, 1937 in Tennessee, the son of the late Claud and Daisy Odean (Conley) Long and was the husband of the late Anna May Long. Mr. Long was the foreman at Pet Life Foods in Hamilton for many years. He also thoroughly enjoyed being his own boss by refurbishing and selling used automobiles. Mr. Long often said that he would much prefer the ninety-degree days of summer to the cold of winter. It was because of this that spending time at his place in Sandy Pines and going golfing were among his favorite pastimes. Mr. Long was an easygoing man who never met a stranger. If you met him once, he considered you a friend for life. Mr. Long is survived by his children, Steve and Vicki Long, Ron and Becky Long, June and Mike VanderKamp, Shelly and Troy Miller and Jerry and Amy Long; twenty-two grandchildren; and more than thirty great-grandchildren. In addition to his wife and his parents, he was preceded in death by a son, Roger Long; and his siblings, Geraldine Kuhn and Jerry Long. The family will receive friends at Gorden Funeral Residence, Hopkins Chapel, on Thursday, May 3, 2018 from 2-4 PM and 6-8 PM. A graveside memorial service will take place the following day, Friday, May 4, 2018 at 11:00 AM at Salem Township Cemetery. Memorial donations may be made to Hospice of Holland, 270 Hoover Blvd., Holland, MI 49423.
