ST. JOHNS, Mich. — Marie Sanborn carefully held her late husband Tim’s fire helmet as a section of US-127 was dedicated in his memory Monday.

“This is a wonderful honor for Tim and our family. Especially for the grandchildren as Tim never got to meet his grandchildren,” Sanborn said.

Marie, her three daughters, their spouses, and three grandchildren, joined members of Clinton Area Fire & Rescue to unveil a sign and officially dedicate the Tim Sanborn Memorial Highway, which includes the portion of US-127 from Colony Road north to M-57.
