Former Sebewaing Brewing Company Employee, Lloyd Bolzman Passes
Of the remaining six people known to have worked at the Sebewaing Brewing Company, until a few days ago, six were still with us. Lloyd E. Bolzman, 90, passed away Tuesday, July 15, 2014, at the Tuscola County Medical Care Facility in Caro. While employed at the brewery, he worked in the Bottling House and performed other various tasks on and off-site in the buildings owned or leased by the brewery.
