Nisbet, John, age 89, passed away May 24, 2010 after suffering a heart attack. John was born in Dunfermline, Scotland in 1920. After the death of his father, he immigrated to the United States at the age of 5 years with his mother. John was the devoted husband of Annelies, dear father of Monica Zillich Dick, Ken Nisbet Betsy and Debbie Ostermyer Chuck, and brother in-law of Trudi Kellenberg of Switzerland. He also leaves behind 10 grandchildren: Kurt, Kyle, Evan, and Chad Zillich; Anna and Scott Nisbet: and Max, Angie Weiskittle, Erika Wheeler and Michelle Ostermyer. He also has 4 great-grandchildren and another great-grandchild due in June. John was a loyal life-long Ford employee who was part of the first classes at the Henry Ford Trade School in the 1930s. In 1939 he was selected to represent Ford Motor Company at its pavilion in the New York World's Fair. During WWII, John was about to deploy for the war in the Pacific when he was reassigned to England because of his machinist expertise. Later he became a photographer for the 9th Air Service Command and after the war was assigned to the occupation forces in Germany. While on a photo assignment covering GIs on leave in Switzerland, he met "the prettiest girl in Switzerland." Showing the tenacity of the Scotsman, one year later he wooed Annelies to the U.S. to be his bride. They were married in Detroit in 1947. He resumed his career with Ford Motor Company that spanned 41 years and involved a number of positions in body engineering as a prototype engineer. John loved photography, travel, sports go Tigers!, golf, and especially automobiles go Ford!. He was a great dancer and later in life became an avid computer user. Family and friends were very important to John and he was always quick to lend a hand. He was a man of integrity, earned the respect of everyone he met, and will be missed by all. A memorial service celebrating the life of John will be at 12 noon at the Henry Ford Village, 15081 Ford Road, Dearborn, Michigan.
