He enjoyed playing basketball and volleyball with his brothers and friends at C. Mann Builders and was an avid sports fan, forever rooting for the Browns. He was a loving father who cared deeply for his children and a devoted husband. He was known by many and loved by all.

He is survived by his children, Kristen Ferrell, Zachary Souslin and Michael Souslin; grandchildren, Joey Mae and Haley Phillips; siblings, Paul W. (Gladys) Souslin of Berlin Heights, Gary E. Souslin of Rockwall, Texas, Alice J. (Mann) Hillman of Norwalk, and Joseph C. Mann of Norwalk.

Souslin; his brothers Tom Souslin and Terry Souslin; stepfather, Cecil J. Mann; nephews, Richard J. Souslin Jr., Samuel L. Souslin, Paul W. Souslin and Ryan M. Mann.

His ashes, along with his wife's, will be buried later in the spring, along with a celebration of life by the family. Foos and Foos Funeral Service, Bellevue, is assisting with arrangements.
