Max Eugene Appleton

Birth Date: 1952-09-17

Graduation year: 1971

Deceased Date: 2023-10-01

Obituary:
Max Eugene Appleton was born on September 17, 1952, at Logansport General Hospital, Logansport, Indiana. After a courageous fight with cancer, Max passed from this life into his eternal home on October 1, 2023.

Following a blind date and seven years of courtship, Max married the love of his life, Joni Cay, on October 15, 1977, at Bible Baptist Church, Kokomo, Indiana. To this union, three sons were born Nicholas Jay (Robin Jackson), Samuel Joseph (Leslie), and Casey-John Thomas. Max's four precious grandchildren he spent many fun days with are Oliver Sheppard, Willa Claire, Porter Austin, and Pryce Avery Appleton.

Max graduated from Logansport High School in 1971. He then moved to Greentown, Indiana, to begin a career as a construction supervisor for his uncle's company in Indianapolis, Indiana. By 1973, he was enrolled in Hobart School of Welding in Troy, Ohio, graduating with the highest honors as an elite welder. Upon graduation, he accepted a position at Wilson's Fertilizer and Behlen Bins in Brook, Indiana.

Max and Joni Cay built their first home in Brook after Joni graduated from Purdue in 1977. After their first son was born, he and Joni Cay moved to Missouri in 1979 to help his father-in-law on the cattle ranch, where they eventually built their second and final home. Max found out quickly, he needed to supplement his income, so began a career at Mountain View Fabricating in 1981, transitioning from maintenance to the tool and die department. In 1996, he began Appleton's Custom Welding to the present day. Max was a perfectionist in metallurgy who could weld any material, but only if he was confident that it would be a success. Many called upon him for his welding expertise, whether it was to build a bridge, ironwork on new construction, or fabrication of all types of equipment.

Max was a member of the First Baptist Church, Mountain View, Missouri, and served as deacon for 35 years and Royal Ambassador Leader for 18 years, taking the young boys on many campouts, competitions, and craft projects. He loved to be of service to his church, roasting many pigs, along with his church buddies, for church-wide fall round-ups. His hobbies were doing anything with his family. Anyone who knew Max knew he would help anyone with a need and not ask for anything in return. His final act of servanthood was the donation of his corneas to Saving Sight.

Dorvan Appollonio

Birth Date: 1952-06-03

Deceased Date: 2023-06-02

Obituary:
Dorvan W. Appollonio, age 70, Royal Center, passed away at 3:30 p.m. Friday, June 2, 2023, at home, one day before his 71st birthday, surrounded by his loving children.

He was a family man and anyone who was lucky enough to know him heard him say many times how proud and blessed he was with his girls.

He loved going for rides on his Can-Am and visiting family and friends.

He leaves behind his daughters, Dee (Terry) Keefer, Danyell (Ronnie) Beebout, Lisa Appollonio (Eugene Small); grandchildren, Dorvan (Candice) Korreckt, Braxton (Molly) Korreckt, Caterina Beebout (Jacob White), Hunter Beebout, Gage Beebout, Sheldon (Casey) Keefer, Steven Keefer, Austin Keefer, Alex Small; eleven great-grandchildren and his beloved dog, Rose.

He had a heart of gold, was always available to help others. He was quick-witted and his sarcasm always made people laugh. Family was everything to him. He was extremely proud of all his grandchildren. Not a day would go by that he wouldn’t share a story about his family.

He was also close with his cousins; they were like siblings to him.

God received one heck of a fighter for his Army.

Surviving are brothers, Winston Davidson, Brad Davidson, Bobby Rance; and sister, Jody Gaddis.

He was married to Pam (Huddleston) Taylor for twenty-seven years.

Dorvan was a straight-shooter. He would tell you how he felt whether you liked it or not.

He was strong-willed and hard-headed – determined nothing would hold him back or slow him down.

He retired in June, 2018, from Tyson Foods. He liked to tell people he worked forty one years on the same floor because it was Wilson’s before Tyson’s. (He worked 20 years for Wilson’s and 21 years for Tyson’s.)

He was blessed to remain close with friends from his childhood. These were many friendships that he cherished and was proud to have.

Dorvan was a dog-lover and had many different breeds throughout his life, with the last being Rose, a dachshund.

Preceding in death were his father, Patrick Appollonio, mother, Beverly Doran, grandmother, Lena Appollonio, who he considered his mom.

Obituary:
When Janice Boxell was born on 10 April 1953, in Logansport, Indiana, United States, her father, Donald M Boxell, was 25 and her mother, Norma Jo Chapman, was 22. She died on 17 October 1970, in her hometown, at the age of 17.

Janice and I shared younger brothers who were diligent in recruiting subscribers to the local paper. They both won prizes to spend the day at Indiana Beach and Janice and I were honored to be chosen to be their guests. What a fun day we had on behalf of Keith and Gary!

I also remember arriving at Purdue on that fateful day, encountering former Logansport graduates who asked about Janice and those in her car, never dreaming that my parents early arrival to Purdue allowed me the calm of another day before finding out the horrible news of her death. I am still saddened to remember a life gone too soon!

Kathleen Pattee - September 6th, 2021

Janice was my one of my many first cousins and my best friend. We had so much fun and got into ALOT of trouble together. Many times we walked from our band performance at the football stadium to her home on 24th and Broadway, changed clothes and then walked to the dance at the YMCA on 9th street. Of course I would never let my children do that now. I miss her to this day and wish I could have apologized to her before she died. I remember Charley Hamm driving me through the country side all day while I wept for her death.

Randy Harris - July 21st, 2021

I remember that day in October of our senior year. I lived on the south side and recall all of the sirens that headed out on SR 25. The deaths of Jan and Scott Laing that haorrible day was the first dose of mortality for me.

My younger sister, Lynne, married Jan's younger brother, Keith, and they had two daughters: Jocelyn and Adrea. Those girls were deprived of a wonderful aunt.

Phil was a hoot. You could always count on Phil for a good laugh. I remember at one of the 1971 reunions we walked in a parade next to our float. Phil brought his little dog(not on a leash) and I was so worried it was going to be run over by the float. He didn't seem to care.
