I just found this obit online, so this may be coming somewhat late, but better late, than never.... I knew Rich Pfeilder well thru The Bucyrus Area Jaycee's back in the 1970's, & later on when he pastored to Luthren Church in Crestline... Rich was a huge positive asset to both the Bucyrus & Crestline communities, & I am proud to have known him called him a friend.... RIP Rich, I along with many of your old Jaycee friends back in Bucyrus, Ohio will never forget you... Davey Jones, [email protected]...
