Roy Glenn Dechert Jr. (Buddy) passed away peacefully on Wednesday, November 10, 2021, with his loving family by his side. Buddy was born in Saline, MI on September 15, 1953 to the late Roy G. Dechert Sr. and Jessie Christine Dechert. He is survived by his wife of 25 years Marcie R. Lentz, his boys Alex and Blake Dechert, and grandson Landon, his pride and joy, all of Clinton. Additionally, he is survived by his son Roy G. Petrick and family of North Carolina. He is also survived by siblings Linda, Crystal, William, and Pam, and outlaws Mark, Kathy, and Kyle Lentz.
Above all Buddy loved his family. Whether they were traveling or doing renovation projects, he was game for anything. He enjoyed riding his Harley, gardening, shooting pool, and contributing to the state lottery. He never met a casino that he didn’t like going into but coming out was sometimes a different story. Buddy had many friends and was always happy to help with anything he could. He would want everyone to be happy that he lived and not sad that he died.
The family is hosting a dinner party in memory of Buddy, Saturday November 20, 2021 at the Saline American Legion beginning at 5:00 pm, all are welcome to attend. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions can be made to the family. To leave a memory you have of Buddy, to sign his guestbook or for more information 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.

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! 😆
