'Hi David I was going through your file, side by side with mine. I found the obit of Richard Gordon Alwood Sr in the Plymouth MI Observer on line (9 Nov 2003). Here is the text:

Obituaries Richard Gordon Alwood, Sr. Services for Richard Alwood, 89, of Plymouth, were held Nov. 5 at Schrader-Howell Funeral Home with the Rev. John Paton officiating. Burial followed at Riverside Cemetery in Plymouth.

Mr. Alwood was born April 25, 1914 in Detroit and died Nov. 2 in Pittsfield Township. He retired from the Burroughs Corporation where he was an accountant. He came to the Plymouth community in 1977 from Detroit. He loved playing the pianoand was an excellent artist of oil paintings, at one time he taught art. He was a loving husband, father and friend.

Mr. Alwood was preceded in death by wife, Mary Louise Alwood.

Survivors include children, Lynn Mary Alwood of Northville and Richard G. Alwood, Jr. of Plymouth.

Memorial contributions may be made to the Plymouth Lions Club.

FYI, Pittsfield Twp is in Washtenaw Co (by Ypsilanti). I'm assuming Bunny is an nickname for Lynn.
