Elmer Schwieterman, 75, died April 16, 2011, following a
hard-fought battle with cancer. He
was born May 9, 1935, at St. Sebastian, Mercer County, to Sylvester
Louis and Loretta Ann Bruns Schwieterman, who preceded him
in
death. On June 18, 1966, at St.
Mary of the Woods Catholic Church, Russells Point, he married Nancy
Eileen Millner, who survives.
Mr.
Schwieterman worked at Frank’s Plumbing & Heating, St. Henry,
and Gast Plumbing & Heating, Coldwater, while in high school and
before moving to the Indian Lake area. He then worked at Carpenter’s
Plumbing & Heating, Russells Point. He was an Army Reserve veteran
serving with the Airborne Division of Special Forces (the Green
Berets) from 1957 to 1963, where he was a master sergeant. In April
1957, he and his brother, Vern, opened and operated Lakeview Plumbing
& Heating, running it for 20 years before closing the store to
pursue separate ventures. In 1977, he owned and operated Schwieterman
Plumbing & Heating, retiring in 2000. He was also a Scout master
for two years for the Explorer Scouts. People were amazed at how he
could know what was wrong with something just by looking at it or
hearing it. He was a very trusted, patient and caring man and could
take anything apart, fix it and put it back together perfectly and in
working condition. Most times he spent more time visiting with people
than the time it took to make the repair. He was a very
family-oriented man who loved his wife, children, and grandchildren
very much. He loved teaching them how to live life to the fullest. He
enjoyed gardening, working puzzles, watching Westerns and playing
cards. He was a
member of the Marianists
Chapel on Governor’s Island,
Huntsville, a life member of the Knights of Columbus, AMVETS Post 39,
Lakeview, and Disabled American Veterans. He was a member of St. Mary
of the Woods Catholic Church, Russells Point, where he taught
Confraternity of Christian Doctrine classes for 12 years, was a lector
for five years and a bingo worker for more than 25 years.
Survivors also include
seven children, 19 grandchildren, and several nieces and nephews.
He
was preceded in death by two brothers, Jerry and Eugene; and two
sisters-in-law, Kate Schwieterman and Kathleen Schwieterman. Mass
of Christian Burial will be begin at 11 a.m. Wednesday at St. Mary of
the Woods Catholic Church, Russells Point. Father Jim Russell will
