Leo R. Houin, 80, died at 7:03 a.m. on Wednesday, July 28, 2004, following several years of a courageous battle against cancer. Leo died in Saint Joseph Regional Medical Center, Plymouth. He had lived at 11386 Sunnylane Drive since 1991, in the Forest Hills subdivision that he developed. Born on his family's Plymouth homestead on June 9, 1924, Leo was the son of Francis A. and Frances R. Smith Houin. He graduated from Plymouth High School with the class of 1943. He married the former Mary Jane Johnson, who passed away in 1980. He was then wed to Marjorie Michel Houin, who died in 1982. On August 18, 1984, Leo and Marilyn E. Sellers-Bules were married. They were set to celebrate their 20th anniversary in three weeks. Leo was a successful lifetime farmer and land developer. He had served on the 4-H Fair Board, Plymouth School Board, as the Center Township Assessor and a director of the American Milk Producers Inc.
