A Call for Prayers

I received word this morning that Dave Gremminger, a part of our extended church family at Oakfield United Methodist Church, passed away on Wednesday. I would ask that you pray for his family and friends through this difficult time. Thank you. More additional information, this is the obituary that was published this morning in the Fond du Lac Newspaper:

David P. Gremminger, 77, of Campbellsport, passed away of natural causes on Wednesday, Sept. 1, 2010, at his home.

He was born on the family farm southeast of Campbellsport on Jan. 8, 1933, the son of Paul K. and Frances Fox Gremminger.

Dave graduated from Campbellsport High School and served in the U.S. Army.

He worked at B & H Lumber in Campbellsport and owned his own business called "The Woodshed" in Fond du Lac until he retired.

Dave served his community through the Campbellsport Fire Department. He was well known for his efforts and involvement with the fire department and made memories there that he cherished.

Dave loved the community of Campbellsport and fishing the area lakes. He is now reunited with his fishing buddies Syl Wenzlaff and Roderick Reese.

Dave was the beloved father of Kristin, Allen and Mike; father-in-law of Jeanie and Carey; grandfather of Jared Jerue, Cody, Lucas, Tanner, Evan and Erica; and brother of Sister Elaine, SSSF, Bob (Bonnie), Carol Jones, Ruth, Roger (Kasem) and Sue (Jim) Hohl. He was a special friend of Beulah Oppermann.

Dave was previously married to Eleanora Gremminger (nee Waldschmidt).

He was preceded in death by his mother, Frances; his father, Paul; his brothers, Donald and Eugene "Bud"; and his brother-in-law, Ernie Jones.
