   To the Union Brothers and Sisters of Local 602 … I’m running late in letting the Union know that my father has joined my mother and both are now resting together in the cemetery. My father (Charles Nethaway) died on August 9, 2012. For some reason, Probate and creditors have kept me busy as I try, with my family’s help, to finalize their possessions and pay bills. I contacted the Union right after New Years and they were quick to get another beautiful Bible, dedicated in my father’s name, for me to pick up for our family.
   Again my brothers and I are saying “How beautiful and wonderful the gift that our Union brothers and sisters have given us.” We wish to thank everyone that has been a UAW Local 602 Union brother or sister and to let you know what this beautiful Bible means to us. In Loving Solidarity … Gary Nethaway, Barry Nethaway, and Gene Nethaway.

   Local 602 – Thank you so much for the wonderful Bible. We will treasure it always. It is a nice way to honor our mother… The Family of Naomi L. Robbins
   The Family of Joyce VanVleet, Wife of Harvey VanVleet, would like to thank you for the beautiful Bible… Harvey VanVleet and Family.
   To the Brothers and Sisters of Local 602: For more than 40 years my brothers and I have been union brothers as we worked at Fisher Body and up to the point where we became the Delta Plant. We have received the union newsletters all those years and have read the union building stories, the reminders that union jobs mean a lot to all workers, that our union stands behind all who serve their country, right down to the unique stories and obituaries. My mom liked some of the stories that came out and also thought that it was nice to read that people received a Bible for someone in their family when someone passed on. She thought that it must be great to be a part of a union when she read some of the many stories where one union brother or sister would help people even if they didn’t know them.
    My father was a union brother working at Federal Mogul in St. Johns, Michigan. He worked there when it wasn’t unionized, but he often said that things really got better when the union got in. Not only did the people receive better wages, but better benefits, and it became safer to work there. Dad retired from the plant and gave the union the credit that he and his wife retired on union retirement benefits and wages. He was proud of what he got in his retirement because he would say that he saw how much the retirees got when his plant wasn’t unionized, and yes, mom read his union papers when he got them at home.
   My brothers, Gary Nethaway and Barry Nethaway, hired in at Fisher Body in 1967 and worked for 39 years, and in 1977 I hired in and retired in 2009. For all those years, we talked with our fellow workers and walked the picket lines when we had to. We read the union paper when we worked there and still do. The union and the union paper are still reminding us that we’re a great big union family.
  I guess that it’s time that I cut to the chase and say that my mother, Pauline Nethaway, has passed on,  Though we never lost a direct family member while we were working there, there have been many letters that have expressed their thanks for the beautiful Bibles that have been given out over these many years. We now have found out why others have said their thanks when we received our beautiful Bible dedicated in my mom’s name. My brother (a minister) shed some tears and my sister did also when they saw the Bible and read the dedication, and they add their thanks.
   How beautiful and wonderful the gift that our union brothers and sisters have given us. We wish to thank everyone that has been a UAW Local 602 union brother or sister to let you know what this beautiful Bible means to us. In Loving Solidarity, Gary Nethaway, Barry Nethaway, Gene Nethaway

In the 1940's Bill was the Chairman of the Eaton County Democratic Committee. In 1949 he helped organize the Auto Body Credit Union and held Account #1.

He enjoyed teaching boys about the out of doors and helping them become exemplary citizens and young men. His fun after retirement included camping, fishing, gardening, travel and reading. He was a wonderful husband, father and friend. He will be greatly missed. The funeral service was Thursday, May 13, 2010 at the Schrauben-Lehman Funeral Homes, Portland with Rev.
