ae CAPTAIN THOMAS WILSON THOMAS BROOKS DANCEY 1903 - 1978 Our past president and long time member, Thomas B. Dancey, passed away at his home in Tucson, Arizona on August 9th. Born in Monticello, Illinois, he later resided in Chicago, Rockford, Illinois and Ludington, Michigan. Before coming to the Detroit area in the late Twenties, he had worked on the ships of the Goodrich transit Company and on the car ferries of the Pere Marquette Railway. Here in Detroit he was employed in the pur- chasing departments of the Ford Motor Company and the Detroit Ball Bearing Company. He resided in Arizona after his retire- ment in 1958. Quiet spoken, cheerful and always gentlemanly, Tom was cape- able and very likable person. He performed many duties for our early Society. After his term as our second President (1946-1948) was completed, he went on to become president of the State Historical Society of Michigan and later of the Propellor Club, Port of Detroit. He was one of the last of the older active members of the Marine Historical Society of Detroit. He will be remembered gratefully by all who knew him. Our expressions of sorrow and sympathy are extended to his widow, Mrs. Ella Dancey and to his son and daughter.
