Gerald Dietrich 39 of Huntertown & Fremont died Saturday from injuries he sustained in a mowing accident Wednesday at Cedar Creek Golf Club. Jerry had been working at Cedar Creek since March of this year. Jerry was a hard worker and loved being outdoors  hunting, fishing, woodworking and working on the golf course. Jerry was a US Army veteran and also managed the Izaak Walton League. We will miss our friend and co-worker. Our deepest sympathy and prayers go out to his family.

 

 Many of you have asked about donating and helping in any way possible. Thank you for you support and kindness. At this time we are planning a fundraising day on Sunday November 2nd.  Details for this event are pending. Please keep that date available on your schedule.

 

Arrangements for Jerry are as follows:   Calling: Wednesday 5pm-8pm at the Beam Funeral Home in Fremont. The funeral is scheduled for 11am at the Clear Lake Baptist Church on the north side of Clear Lake.

 

 I would like to thank the Cedar Creek Members & Staff who worked so hard to save Jerry's life last Wednesday. You know who you are, and you are my hero's. I know the family takes solace in knowing that Jerry was not alone in his struggle for life.  I would also like to thank Dr. Gary Davis and Dr. Mark Fisher who were on site trying to save Jerry. They have helped us all in the aftermath of this tragedy. The volunteer firemen and EMT's who were on site and worked so hard over Jerry.  All of the Allen County Police Officers including Sherriff Fries and especially Kenny Litzenberg whose respone was so fast and overwhelming. Thank you all.
