About Dennis "Fuzzy" Boyak
Fuzzy began his employment with the Peoples State Bank in August of 1968. He worked as a bookkeeper, teller, assistant cashier, loan officer, in 1976 was promoted to Vice President of the Loan Dept., in 1989 was promoted to Vice President/Cashier and in 1993 became CEO of the bank he loved. He was active with Little League Hotdog Blast and Bottle Drive every year, helped celebrate Mother’s Day with carnations, sponsored so many 4th of July celebrations and activities. Fuzzy was honored to invest in and support our community.
He was a friend to all that met him and you felt important when Fuzzy was with you. Fuzzy loved to have fun. He joked, antagonized, and played pranks every chance he could, he left endless messages on his friends cell phones, his emails were hilarious, he enjoyed daily coffee with the guys, and he loved playing poker at the Barn on Wednesday nights, Thursday night bowling with Smear games following at the Barge Inn, and Thursday night men’s golf league. He enjoyed golfing, hunting, he enjoyed friends, and he enjoyed family, Green Bay Packers, traveling, snowshoeing, playing cards with his grandchildren, walking, and exercising.
Fuzzy’s community service included: Munising Memorial Hospital Board, Volunteer Fire Department for 22 years, President of the Munising Area Jaycees, Munising Youth Commission, Munising Lions Club President, Munising Men’s Commercial League President, Pictured Rocks Golf & Country Club - President, Treasurer and Board member, Alger County Transportation Board Chairman, BAI Director - Secretary and Treasurer, Northern Michigan School of Banking Committee, Munising Baseball Association Board, Knights of Columbus, Munising Moose Lodge, Munising Little League Treasurer, Co-Chairman of the new Munising High School, Treasurer of the Alger County Arena Building Committee, MBA Group I - Secretary/Treasurer and Vice President, Lake States Chapter B.A.I President/Director; MBA Group I Chairman from 1994-1995, Kids Connection Tot Lot Finance Committee, Alger County Arena Board of Directors, Michigan Bankers Association Education Committee U.P.

Funds from the Fuzzy Boyak Foundation were utilized to help obtain the new welcome center, while a donation from Peoples State Bank was given for signage. The support from Fuzzy's family and his former business, PSB has been instrumental in the growth of Munising. Fuzzy was the champion of Munising, and pulling its organizations together, and was the creator of the original Munising Area Partnership for Development in 2006. Having a business and visitor center named in his honor is very fitting to carry on his legacy and dreams.
