Robert A. Goetz

Robert Allen Goetz, age 56, of Grandville, MI, passed away on Saturday, October 24, 2020. He was born May 19, 1964 to Robert and Doreen (McKenzie) Goetz.  He was preceded in death by his father, Robert P. Goetz. Rob is survived by his loving partner, Bill Osterink, Jr.; mother, Doreen Goetz; sister, Tammy Goetz; nieces, Alexandra Cook and Macy Cook; many aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, and friends who will miss him dearly.  Rob graduated from Sault Area High School and continued his education at Ferris State University.  He managed his mother and father’s family business, The Lockview Restaurant, in the Sault Ste. Marie during the summer months.  He also spent many years in Grand Rapids, MI, where he made many great friends.  Rob was one of a kind, in many positive aspects.  He always enjoyed a good laugh and at The Lockview, was known to give the crew a good chuckle.  There are many who fell victim to his elaborate pranks in the kitchen.  In the winter months, Rob got to humor his Grand Rapids friends and family.  Without a doubt, he will be truly missed.  Whether in Sault Ste. Marie or Grand Rapids, anyone who knows Rob would know he enjoyed dessert, having cocktails, celebrating with friends, and loud music.  Rob was the kind of person who looked forward to a birthday or holiday so he could celebrate with friends and family. To memorialize him properly that is what we ask of you on Sunday, November 1st, at 2:00 pm at the Knights of Columbus Hall in Sault Ste. Marie.  There will be a get together in Grand Rapids, MI announced at a later date.
