The former owner of a car dealership in Butler Township has died.
Bob Mikan was the longtime owner of the Mikan Motor Company, which started its Butler location in 1969.
The history of the Mikan Motor Company dates back to 1924, when his father Ivan founded the dealership in Trafford. Bob started working for the organization after his service in the U.S. Navy.
Bob worked at the dealership until his retirement—and even then was still heavily involved in the business.
Mikan was also involved in the community with the Butler Rotary and St. Andrew’s Roman Catholic Church.
A celebration of life will be held when circumstances allow friends and family to gather.
Mikan was 88.
