Former Upper Peninsula state senator Tom Casperson has been laid to rest.
The Escanaba native lost his two-plus-year battle with lung cancer last Sunday. A private funeral was held for Casperson on Wednesday, and he was buried at the Gardens of Rest Cemetery in Wells.
These were not open to the many people who would have come because of coronavirus restrictions.
A public celebration of Casperson’s life is being planned for next June 5th, on what would have been his 39th wedding anniversary with his wife, Diane.
A memorial fund has been set up to benefit the Northern Michigan University Truck Driving School, as Casperson was a logging truck driver for years before getting into politics.
You can send a check in his honor to the NMU Foundation in Marquette.
