He was born on August 10, 1942 in New Weston, OH to Clem H. and Julia (Saalman) Hemmelgarn. He was married to MaryLou (Schacht) Hemmelgarn for 51 years.

He owned and operated his farm in rural Portland, IN and worked for Avco New Idea in Coldwater, OH for 42 years until his retirement in 2002. After retirement he drove truck for Cooper Farms until 2011. He was a great dad who like to play ball in the yard, shoot basketball, take walks in the family woods, ride bikes, swim, ride his Gator or 4 wheeler. He was always up for an adventure and we loved to play jokes on him. He always had a great laugh and everyone knew him by that. He loves playing with the grandkids and watching their sporting events. He will be sadly missed.
There will be no arrangements, just a private family affair at some point. Please keep him in your Prayers.
