Daniel Loehmer

Daniel Loehmer, 76, of Logansport, passed away Tuesday, July 8. 

He was born on Aug. 27, 1948 in Monterey, to the late Nicholas and Veronica (Schutz) Loehmer. After graduating from Monterey High School in 1966 he completed his ironworker apprenticeship. Daniel was drafted into the US Army in 1969, and was stationed in Colorado from 1969-1971. He returned home to Indiana and resumed his 38 year-long career as a union ironworker. He was a member of the Iron Workers Local #379 in Lafayette. 

Daniel was an avid golfer, enjoyed hunting and fishing, liked a good card game, never missed an episode of Wheel of Fortune, and was well-known for his large vegetable garden. His work ethic was unmatched, and he was always willing to lend a hand. He loved his children and extended family very much and was a proud “Big Beard Grandpa.” Daniel will be deeply missed by his family, friends and neighbors.
