Morris Leroy Decker, 82, of Saline, Michigan passed away on Friday, November 5, 2021 with his family by his side.
Morrie was born January 6,1939 to the late Beatrice and Martin Decker at home. On September 6, 1958 he married Donna Louise Vettraino, and she survives. Morrie is survived by his three children, Karen (Mike) Silver of West Lafayette, Tina Decker of Albuquerque and Kevin Decker of Saline; six grandchildren, Sabrina (Chris) Silver, Tabitha (Mike) Manross, Hudson Smith, Moriah Smith, Logan Silver, and Luke Silver; three great-grandchildren, Callie Manross, Caffrey Manross, and Dagney Hernandez. Morrie is also survived by his brother Martin (Rose) Decker, and sister-in-law Jeanne Decker. He was preceded in death by three sisters and two brothers.
Morrie worked hard and played hard throughout his entire life. Nothing gave him more joy than spending time with his family; especially watching his grandchildren and great-grandchildren experience life. His professional career started in the tool and die business, and ended in real estate development and rental business. In his personal time, Morrie never tired of tinkering in his greenhouse, playing pinochle, collecting “unique” cars, and bantering about anything controversial for fun. He found great value in unwanted items.
The family will receive friends on Tuesday, November 9, 2021 between the hours of 1:00 P.M. and 7:00 P.M. at the Robison-Bahnmiller Funeral Home in Saline. Visitation will also be held on Wednesday, November 10th, at the funeral home from 10:00 A.M. until the time of service at 11:00 A.M. Burial will follow at Oakhill Cemetery just south of Saline on Macon Road. Masks will be required for both the visitation and the service. Memorial contributions in his name may be made to National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (https://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/about/budget-and-legislative-information/gift-fund); donation envelopes will be available at the funeral home. Morrie will be missed by all whom he touched throughout his life. To leave a memory you have of Morrie, to sign his guestbook or for directions please visit www.rbfhsaline.com.
Best burger goes to Droptop pizza. No doubt about it . Dan’s is not what it used to be and the food is not award worthy. Need some new judges.
It's a voting thing, not a judging thing.
Dan's burger has never treated me wrong. And I like the DropTop burger too.I would never put down someone else's burger, though. I might say someone else has a better one.
Like, I like the Jet's Pizza. But to me, that's a DropTop prize.
These awards are voted by the PEOPLE...not a committee of judges. The people of Saline and Saline area voted for these businesses. I have never had a bad meal at Dan's Downtown Tavern and if something wasn't right I know that it would be corrected. Plus I have had Drop Tops pizza and I found it to be quite good.
Patchy rain nearby, with a high of 66 and low of 52 degrees. Partly Cloudy in the morning, sunny in the afternoon, clear during the evening, overcast overnight.

While I have some empathy for the family I would bet the proverbial farm that their ancestors would not like it to be rezoned. Disappearing farm land is a national problem not just local.
Agreed. It’s their land and can do as they wish but it’s just a bummer
You all have absolutely lost your collective minds! Fiscal insanity.
Love the idea and could absolutely see this treasure becoming a multi-use facility for the city. Not sure how I would approach it were I the owner but I believe the current owners inherited the house (could be wrong) after being in the family for many years.
Curious as to current status of the second smaller home built in the same style. Is that currently owned by the same family and part of this discussion?
Ha! Such a lovely face I’m making! 😆
