Michael Chemorov's Obituary
Michael Chemorov Jr., age 69, a lifelong resident of Lorain passed away Wednesday, November 6, 2019 at his home surrounded by his family.
He was born May 7, 1950 in Lorain, Ohio to the late Michael and Helen (nee Kos) Chemorov. Michael was a 1968 graduate of Lorain Admiral King High School. He went on to further his education at The Ohio State University as well as Lorain County Community College.
Michael worked as a foreman for U.S. Steel/ US Kobe for several years. Following that time, he would go on to open Promenade Travel in Westlake, where his great love and passion for traveling all parts of the world could be shared with many.
He was a very active member of Saints Peter and Paul Orthodox Church in Lorain and a member of the Masonic Black River Lodge # 786.
Michael enjoyed following The Ohio State Buckeyes football program as well as the Cleveland Indians. He was a lover of all animals, but his Golden Retriever, Roxy, held a special place in his heart. Michael also enjoyed taking care of his home as well as completing home improvement projects at his children’s homes. His family was everything to him and he will be remembered as being a very selfless, kindhearted gentleman.
He is survived by his wife of 42 years, Joanne (nee Kovalchik); son, Nicholas, of Columbia Station; daughter, Chrysa (Sam) Babic, of Olmsted Falls; and his sister, Kathleen (Richard) Hodrosky.
