Elmer C. Roehm, 82, of Willshire, Ohio died Friday October 24, 2025 at Lutheran Hospital in Fort Wayne, Indiana.

Elmer was a member of the first graduating class of Parkway High School in 1962. He was a truck driver for Central Soya. Later Elmer went on to work in maintenance at Central Soya, which became Bunge Company, until he retired from Bunge. After retirement, he drove truck for Lehman's Feed Mill. Elmer owned race horses and enjoyed racing ponies. He also enjoyed fishing, and he never turned down a Twix candy bar. Elmer treasured time spent with his beloved cat, Putty. But most of all he enjoyed spending time with his family.
