It is imperative that I mention the Bob and Bev DeWitz Family and some of the ways they assisted in the development of the Veterans memorial.
Chuck DeWitz, their son, has spent countless hours at the memorial and many more lining up help for the memorial through manpower and machines.
Julie Leisen, their daughter, has coordinated a lot of memorial paper work that had to be done for various stages of construction. She arranged for permits, transported her father, when necessary, and did an extreme amount of “gopher” work.
Lori Lovett, Bob and Bev’s daughter, has performed countless hours of computer work for the memorial and met for many hours at night, with committee members, to do typing and other chores for the memorial.
Rick Lovett, Lori’s husband, works with the Fire Department and has assisted the memorial committee on several occasions.
Tom Lovett, Lori’s son, volunteered several times while home from college and was instrumental in the installation of the benches.
These and Bob and Bev’s other children and grandchildren have been available to help wherever needed, including Dedication Day and cleaning the memorial at various times.
