A modern-day cowboy whose life story is tightly interwoven with that of modern-day Glen Arbor—and one of the most vocal and passionate opponents of Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore—Rich Quick has died. He was 92 years old, and spent most of his final seven years at Maple Valley Nursing Home, where he suffered from dementia. His step-grandson, Joshua Humphrey, confirmed the news on Facebook yesterday, writing that Quick “is now with his sweetie Bonnie Quick in heaven. He loved Glen Arbor and this area more than anybody I have ever known or known of. He had an undying respect for this land and for those around him.”

“I’m flattered to be the Grand Marshal in this year’s parade,” says Bonnie Quick. “I thought it was only for famous old people,” she chuckles. Bonnie, at age 70, is the Glen Arbor Township Clerk, and has been since 1988, following two years as Deputy Clerk.
