Gauss’ Green Valley Founder Dies In House Fire

January 21, 2008

A sad note from Michigan. Lloyd Gauss, founder of Gauss’ Green Valley Golf Course has died in a house fire. He was 84, and a decorated WWII veteran. Gauss built the Green Valley Golf course in Napoleon (near Jackson) in the late 1950s. His house was near the second tee of the course.

I love the Green Valley course and am grateful to Lloyd for building it. You can see a review and photos here.

The course, I hope, will continue as a monument to his life.
