Aug. 10, 1942-Feb. 5, 2023
William Roman “Bill” Hemmelgarn, who was born on Aug. 10, 1942, in New Weston, Ohio, to Clem H. and Julia (Saalman) Hemmelgarn, passed away Feb. 5, 2023.
He was married to MaryLou (Schacht) Hemmelgarn for 51 years.
Bill is survived by daughter Leslie and Jerome Muhlenkamp, Fort Recovery, Ohio; and son Greg and Kelly Hemmelgarn, Portland, Indiana; grandkids Grant Muhlenkamp, Gabriel Muhlenkamp and Valerie Muhlenkamp, all of Fort Recovery, Ohio, and Finn Hemmelgarn, Tuck Hemmelgarn and Sawyer Hemmelgarn, all of Portland, Indiana; and three great-grandchildren with one on the way. He is also survived by sister Marlene Knapke, Coldwater, Ohio, and brother David Hemmelgarn, Portland, Indiana.
He was preceded in death by his parents; and brothers Thomas Hemmelgarn and Larry Hemmelgarn.
Bill owned and operated his farm in rural Portland, Indiana, and worked for Avco New Idea in Coldwater, Ohio, for 42 years until his retirement in 2002. After retirement, he drove a truck for Cooper Farms until 2011.
He was a great dad who liked to play ball in the yard, shoot basketball, take walks in the family woods, ride bikes, swim and 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.
