Jewish War Veteran and Co-Founder of American Axle

Mort Harris of Bloomfield Hills, international industrialist, philanthropist and decorated WWII veteran, passed away on May 5, 2021. He was 101.

Harris co-founded American Axle & Manufacturing (AAM), a multi-billion-dollar global Tier 1 automotive supplier.

“The AAM family was saddened to hear of the passing of Mort Harris,” said AAM Chairman and CEO David C. Dauch in a statement. “Mort was a great man and a special person that meant so much to so many. He certainly had a strong and positive influence on all that knew him.”

Harris was born April 11, 1920, in Detroit. He was confirmed at Temple Beth El. He graduated from Central High School and began studying engineering in 1939 at Wayne University, the forerunner of Wayne State University (WSU). A true patriot, Harris left school to enlist in the WWII effort.

As a member of the U.S. 8th Air Force, famously known as the “Mighty Eighth,” Harris became known as the “Berlin Kid” for the decisive B-17 bombing missions he flew over the German capital. Two of Harris’ 33 missions included passes over the beaches of Normandy on D-Day; he survived two crash landings in the North Sea.

For his heroism and distinguished service in battle, Harris was awarded three U.S. Distinguished Flying Crosses, six air medals, a presidential citation, the Polish Medal of Honor and the French Legion of Honor, France’s highest decoration.

For all his success, like many of the Greatest Generation, Harris remained a modest and humble man who never sought out recognition for his accomplishments, either on the battlefield, in business or in his philanthropic endeavors, for which there were many. It was a lesson he learned form a very young age according to Harris’ first cousin, Ed Levy Jr., 90, of Birmingham.

“It was my father who taught Mort and I that money has three purposes,” said Levy Jr. “One, to put a roof over your head and that of your family and food on the table. Two, to practice the free enterprise system and practice it not only for your own benefit, but for the benefit of the people that helped you make it. And three, if there’s anything left over, it should go to good causes. He took that very seriously.” Those sentiments were echoed by WSU President M. Roy Wilson in a statement: “Anyone who has reached his incredibly high levels of success could be justifiably proud, but that wasn’t Mort,” Wilson said. “Despite his financial success and his many military and civilian honors, Mort was humble and kind, and he would happily opt for a sandwich over a five-star meal because it was the people he was with that mattered the most.”

WSU was on the receiving end of many generous donations by Harris. He made a $10 million donation to the WayneMed-Direct program for students that WSU says “creates a pipeline for admission to Wayne State’s School of Medicine.” A recreation and fitness center at WSU also bears Harris’ name.

The Detroit Symphony Orchestra, Detroit Institute of Arts, the Michigan Science Center, Northwood University, and community organizations like the Boys and Girls Clubs of Southeastern Michigan, Focus: Hope and Detroit Public Television are just a few of the beneficiaries of Harris’ endless generosity.

Sadly, Harris lost both his first wife, Edith, and second wife, Brigitte, to illness. He established the Edith Harris Memorial Lecture Series at WSU in her memory. A $10 million contribution to the Brigitte Harris Cancer Pavilion at the Henry Ford Cancer Institute just opened in January, which was part of $40 million in lifetime giving to the health system.

He is survived by his and Edith’s three sons and Brigitte’s three children from a previous marriage. Harris is also survived by his close and loving friend, Sandy Morrison.

Harris remained active for most of his 101 years and, as recently as 2017, shocked his cousin Ed, then 86, by asking him to arrange for what would be Harris’ first trip to Israel at the age of 97. Three weeks later, the two began an unforgettable eight-day tour.

“Mort loved every minute of it,” said Levy Jr. “He couldn’t say enough about what an eye-opener it was. He even started saying things like maybe he should spend the rest of his life there.”

A memorial service for Mort Harris is being planned for a later date.

A Life Well Lived

CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Unassuming and generous, Philip Manuel Allweiss made people feel cared for, whether it was hosting guests, fixing a car or giving handyman tips. He was happy to share the good life he enjoyed with his wife, Kat, at their homes in Highland, Mich., and Bonita Springs, Fla. However, as owners of Sol’s Complete Car Care in Berkley, work as well as play defined their lives.

Phil Allweiss, 60, died of cancer in Bonita Springs on May 3, 2021. The youngest of Salek “Sol” and Frieda (Schiller) Allweiss’ four children, Phil was born on Feb. 20, 1961. He was mechanically inclined like his dad. “Phil was ‘Sol Jr.’ in our family,” Frieda said, “because he looked like him, walked like him and shared his interests.”

Brother Ben Allweiss recalled launching kit model rockets with young Phil in a field near home. After graduating from North Farmington High School, Phil completed technical school and became a master mechanic.

At age 13, Phil began working at Sol & Zygie’s Mobil gas station in Southfield. Two years later, in 1976, the owner brothers parted ways and opened separate auto repair shops. When Sol retired in 1987, Phil took over his father’s business, later joined by Kat, at the corner of 11 Mile and Greenfield roads.

The manager at Sol’s, Henry Bienenstock, was 14 and pumping gas when he met 10-year-old Phil, his eventual boss. “For the next 34 years, Phil and I shared every single event in each other’s lives. His family was my family, and my family was his. He was, first and foremost, my friend.”

Kat and Phil were introduced by her sister, Lauren, and Phil’s buddy, Scott. “It was love at first sight,” said Kat, who married her husband on Aug. 28, 1993. The heartbreak of their marriage happened Sept. 15, 1997, losing their infant daughter, Sara Sophia.

The couple volunteered together at a boxer rescue nonprofit. “Phil loved saving dogs, even when he was going through chemo,” Kat said. On weekends, they might waterski or ride one of their horses, but “traveling to explore islands and lying on beaches was our favorite pastime.”

Guests enjoyed relaxing on Phil’s boat rides across Highland Lake, perhaps to watch the sunset, and cruising on his boat in the Florida Gulf. Just for fun, his brother Jack Allweiss recalled a friendly cookoff between Phil and Jack’s chef son, Jon, “where the good-natured taunts flew across the kitchen.”

“Cousin Phil balanced a life filled with love and activities he cared about with a successful business,” said Janice Young. Phil was the beloved husband of Kathryn “Kat” Allweiss; son and son-in-law of Frieda Allweiss and Carol Kozelski; brother and brother-in-law of Jack (Patty) Allweiss, Ben Allweiss and Ilana Moss; uncle of Jonathan Allweiss and Erin (Paul) Lietzan; nephew of Goldy Kriseman; and he leaves seven cousins.

He was the father of the late Sara Sophia Allweiss; son and son-in-law of the late Sol Allweiss and the late Edward Kozelski; uncle of the late David Allweiss; nephew of the late Zyga and the late Irma Allweiss; and grandson of the late Markus and the late Sara Schiller, and the late Jacob and the late Esther Allweiss.

A memorial service will be held in Michigan. Contributions may be made to Great Lakes Boxer Rescue, 5196 N. Vista Road, Sanford, MI 48657, greatlakesboxerrescue.org; American Cancer Society, 20450 Civic Center Drive, Southfield, MI 48076, donate3.cancer.org; or Holocaust Memorial Center, 28123 Orchard Lake Road, Farmington Hills, MI 48334, www.holocaustcenter.org.

A Beloved Doctor & Community Leader

DANNY SCHWARTZ STAFF WRITER

Dr. Dan G. Guyer, 74, of Huntington Woods, died May 1,

2021.

Raised in Detroit, Dr. Guyer attended Mumford High School and graduated from Wayne State University Medical School in 1971. As a psychiatrist, he served in private practice in Grosse Pointe and previously served as chief of psychiatry at Henry Ford Cottage Hospital. He was a beloved teacher through the hospital and the Wayne State University School of Medicine.

Dr. Guyer was a leader in many agencies and programs of the Jewish Federation of Metropolitan Detroit. He served as a member of local and national boards, including the Jewish Federations of North America. He was president of Jewish Home and Aging Services and co-chair on the Commission on Jewish Elder Care Services. He was also former chair of the Disabilities Workgroup of Jewish Federations of North America. He was a Wexner Fellow, as well as a president of Hillel Day School and a lay leader at Adat Shalom Synagogue.

Dr. Guyer received the Jewish Federation William Davidson Lifetime Achievement Award in 2020. At the ceremony last fall, Dr. Guyer said, “I look at our community and its leadership, and as I look at my children and grandchildren, the future seems to be in good hands. May our community go from strength to strength.”

Mark Hauser, recipient of Federation’s 2012 Butzel Award, first met Guyer in the late 1970s and worked with him on UJA’s Young Leadership Cabinet and at the Jewish Fund, where Guyer chaired the health care subcommittee.

“He was able to help my father-in-law, who after he sold his business, became very depressed, and Dan was just great with him and was able to turn him around so he could enjoy the rest of his life,” Hauser said. “His legacy was to never care about being in the limelight. A very humble person, and a person in whom others had confidence and looked up to.”

Joyce Keller, former executive director of JARC, is a family friend of the Guyers. Their relationship was a personal one, and she spent many Jewish holidays with the Guyers, including some legendary seders.

“That’s really where I got to know Dan the best because he had such an incredible love of Judaism and his seders were like none other,” Keller said. “There were always lots of people from all walks of the Guyers’ life and it was very special to be a part of.” Keller said Dr. Guyer’s inclusiveness in those seders were reflective of his inclusiveness in general life. “He was a force,” Keller said. “He was somebody the community looked to for leadership.

“He was an amazing father who raised three unbelievable kids, who are so brilliant and accomplished; and it’s so much a reflection of the home they grew up in and the values they grew up with that he and Cheryl fostered,” Keller added.

Dr. Guyer’s daughter Sara Guyer said her father was a model within the community and within his own family. “He had a very clear idea about the kind of man, husband, father, grandfather, friend, doctor and member of the community he wanted to be, and he dedicated his life from the time he was very young to fulfilling that very clear vision,” Guyer said.

“He was unwavering in that sensibility and commitment. He loved his work, he loved to read, he loved to spend time with his grandchildren, he loved and cared deeply for my mother, and he loved the Detroit Jewish community and grew within it,” she added.

Dr. Guyer is survived by his wife of 52 years, Cheryl Guyer; his children, Sara Guyer (Scott Straus), Erica Guyer (Daniel Franklin) and Jonathan Guyer; and six grandchildren, Sadie Straus, Solomon Straus, Anna Franklin, Jacob Franklin, Samuel Franklin and Aerin Franklin. He is also survived by sister, Annie (Judge Benjamin) Friedman; sisterin-law, Elise (Dr. Marty) Levinson; brother-in-law, Neil Chapin (Diana Staneva) as well as many loving nieces, nephews, grandnieces, grandnephews, cousins, colleagues and a world of friends.

Dr. Guyer was the son of the late Edith and the late Abram Guyer, and brother of the late Dr. Martin (Sheila) Guyer.

Private graveside services were held at Adat Shalom Memorial Park Cemetery. Contributions may be directed to Jewish Federation of Metro Detroit, jewishdetroit.org; or any Jewish charity of your choice. Arrangements by Hebrew Memorial Chapel.

OF BLESSED MEMORY

A Real People Person

Joshua Mark Hurand, 48, died peacefully at his home in Tucson, Ariz., on May 6, 2021, surrounded by loved ones.

He was a beloved husband, father, friend, teacher, writer, gardener, advocate, connector, Tucson enthusiast and grateful human.

Born in Lansing on April 15, 1973, to Gary and Carol Hurand, Joshua was the first grandchild of both his paternal and maternal families. He graduated from Carman-Ainsworth High School in 1991 and earned a bachelor of arts degree in education at the University of Michigan, a master of educational psychology degree at the University of Arizona and a master of social work degree from Arizona State University.

Mr. Hurand worked as a middle school Spanish teacher and then a psychotherapist at the Southern Arizona Veterans Administration Healthcare System prior to fulfilling his dream of establishing a private therapy practice called Strategic Healing.

He embraced life and relationships with passion, commitment, enthusiasm, energy and love. He was an inspiration to those who knew and loved him, and he openly shared his love and gratitude even as he endured the pains of his terminal cancer diagnosis.

Josh embraced his Tucson community and was proud of the life he established there. He served on numerous boards of agencies and organizations, most recently the boards of the University of Arizona Poetry Center Foundation and the Jewish Community Foundation of Southern Arizona.

Mr. Hurand is survived by Ashley (McLaren), the love of his life whom he married on Nov. 8, 2014. He is also survived by their beloved children, Noah Avram, 5, and Eliza Barbara, 3.

master’s degree in clinical social work at Simmons College (now Simmons University) in Boston, Mass. Esther and Stan settled in Detroit, where they raised Susan and Daniel.

As a social worker, Esther worked primarily with children in public schools and in private practice. Since her retirement, many parents have communicated, to Dan and Susan, about how their children’s lives were vastly improved from having had Esther as their counselor/ social worker.

Esther was greatly fulfilled knowing she made a difference for the betterment of the lives of her patients. After retirement, she continued doing good deeds for the kids and animals. She volunteered in several public schools in Tucson, Ariz., as a children’s tutor; one of her favorite activities was being a docent at the Detroit Zoo, where she especially loved working in the butterfly garden.

Esther and Stanley were world travelers. Holiday gatherings often featured a slide show of their many trips across the globe.

Everyone experiences loss differently. And while there is a certain structure in Jewish funerals and rituals, it’s important that the event brings something meaningful to all. We understand that. And we treat your family’s wishes with all of the respect and compassion they deserve. From guiding the arrangements without pressure to the memorial service and the appearance of the chapel itself, we are here, fully here, to meet your every need. It’s not the only way we help ease the burden of a loss. But it’s a special type of caring that makes a Dorfman difference.
