DESTINATION MICHIGAN: GUS MACKER

REMEMBERING JUDGE TIMOTHY CONNORS
- MACKER HALL-OF-FAMER 

It is with sadden hearts that we remember one of our Hall-of-Famers, Judge Timothy Connor and his Ann Arbor Squad. Judge Connor passed away October 8, 2026, after a long fight with cancer. He was a spark plug in his excitement about Gus Macker and his energy and enthusiasm inspired us all. We will continue, in his honor, to make Gus Macker a beacon of light to all participants and spectators. He will be greatly missed.
