Charles D. Bemer, 77, passed away Feb. 1, 2023, from esophageal cancer. A visitation will be held from 4 to 7 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 7, 2023, at Cedar Memorial Park Funeral Home.

His family and the Midland Forge family are missing a great guy in their lives. Chuck worked in management for most of his 44 years at Midland Forge. His favorite hobbies were fishing, hunting and woodworking. He enjoyed spending time at his farm, being outside on his tractor. Chuck’s proudest hunting moments were placing ninth in a North American Big Game Competition held by Pope and Young Club and getting a Worser two years later.
Chuck is survived by his wife of 47 years, Judy; children, Kim (Joe) Enos, Lorie Bemer, Diane Bemer, Chuckie Bemer, Michelle Bemer; seven grandchildren; nine great-grandchildren; four great-great-grandchildren; three stepgrandchildren, and two stepgreat-grandchildren.
His greatest love for the past eight years has been his cat, Baby Girl. She ruled the roost, and he did whatever she wanted. His other love was his poodle, Cricket Rae.
