Blomstrom, Victor “V.K.”

Saginaw, Michigan

Our beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother and uncle passed away peacefully on Friday, February 28, 2025 at Symphony Tri-Cities after a struggle with cancer and dementia. He was 86 years old. Victor Karl Blomstrom was born on April 22, 1938 in Escanaba, Michigan to John and Mae (Nelsen) Blomstrom. As a child, he moved to Saginaw with his family and later graduated from Arthur Hill High School in 1956. He married Susan Schleimer on July 21, 1973. He was employed by United Parcel Service as a delivery driver for 38 years. V.K. loved spending time with people, and greatly enjoyed serving the communities of Saginaw, Frankenmuth, Pinconning, Midland and the surrounding area with UPS. A few years after retirement, he worked for Burt Watson Chevrolet as a shuttle driver. In V.K.’s free time, he loved to spend time with his family, bowling, reading and listening to books on tape.
