Carl Jennings Memorial Donations
Carl Ivan Jennings, 80, passed into his new life on Feb 3, 2019, in Ft Lauderdale, FL., surrounded by love with his husband and his children by his side. Carl lived a wonderful life with his husband of 50 years, Lawrence Gammons. Together they opened Douglas Dunes Resort in 1981 where Carl was the head chef as well as the DJ for many years. Carl and Lawrence opened many other businesses in the Saugatuck/Douglas area including Dockside Marketplace, The Mermaid Bar & Grill, CALA Building, Bentley's Bed & Breakfast and Bentley's Antiques. Carl was an icon in the local community. He co-founded West Shore AWARE, where he served as president for many years, was active in the Rotary Club and enjoyed his bowling league. We are honored to accept donations in Carl's memory designated to Our LGBT Fund.
