          John L. Oldemeyer passed away at his home December 26, 2012. Born at Poudre Valley Hospital on March 12, 1941, to Orville and Beryle Irene (Luhr) Oldemeyer, John was raised in Johnstown, CO graduating from Johnstown High in 1959. During high school, he participated in football, basketball, track, band, chorus, and the drama club.

          He attended CU and graduated from CSU with Bachelor and Masters degrees in wildlife biology. Before beginning his Masters research, he married his college sweetheart, Carole Ann Kiplinger. They moved to Yellowstone, Montana, where John studied winter ecology of big horn sheep.

          After receiving his degree, John and Carole moved to Lakewood, Colorado; John accepted a job as center statistician for the Denver Wildlife Research Center of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

          While in Colorado, John and Carole had three children: Nancy Lynn, Janice Kay, and John Bradley. Their respective families gave him his five grandchildren, the lights of his life.

          In 1971, the research center opened a field station in Kenai, Alaska. There, John conducted research on moose habitat as part of a major program in cooperation with the Alaska Department of Fish and Game in the Kenai North Wildlife Refuge. During their seven years in Kenai, the family took a year sabbatical at Penn State University, where John received a Ph.D. in Forest Resources.

          In 1978 the family transferred to Fort Collins. John studied effects of cattle grazing in northwestern Nevada, early winter habitat use of mountain caribou in northern Idaho, and effects of cattle grazing on desert tortoises and their habitat in southern Nevada and southeastern California. John also served in administrative capacities as Chief of the Ecology Section of Endangered Species and as assistant Director of the Research Center. He retired in 1997.

          The family began building a log cabin in Silver Gate, Montana just outside the northeast entrance of Yellowstone National Park in 1986. By the time Carole and John retired, they moved to Silver Gate to experience Yellowstone in winter for one year. Five years later, they returned to Fort Collins for winters and spent summers in Montana.

          In Silver Gate, Carole and John were active at the local church and on the local EMS team. In Fort Collins, they played with the English Handbell Choir at Plymouth Congregational UCC and John sang in the Larimer Chorale.

          John was a lifelong outdoorsman enjoying fishing, hiking, skiing, camping and hunting. He captured his love of nature, particularly flowers through photography.

          A Memorial Service will be held at Plymouth Congregational Church in Fort Collins on Friday, January 18, at 2 pm. An additional service will be held at Mount Republic Chapel of Peace in Cooke City, Montana in the summer.

          John’s surviving family will miss him immensely: wife Carole; children Nancy, Janice, and Brad; grandchildren Aly, Jeremy, Ben, Abby, and Mattis; siblings Sue, Sandy and Steve; and other family members. He will also be greatly missed by his many good friends.

          In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in John’s name to the Larimer Chorale, P.O. Box 884, Fort Collins, CO 80522 www.givingfirst.org/LarimerChorale <http://www.givingfirst.org/LarimerChorale>, the Poudre Valley Health Foundation - Cancer Center Fund 2315 E.

BERNARD      RITCHIE      1914-2012

        BARNESVILLE -- Bernard Ritchie, 97, of Barnesville, passed away Wednesday (July 4, 2012) at Barnesville Health Care Center.

        He was born Aug. 30, 1914 in Barnesville, son of the late John Ritchie and Edna Ramsey Ritchie.

        He was a member of the First United Methodist Church of Barnesville.

        He was a World War II Army veteran, serving in the Medical Corps from 1943 until 1946. Bernard was a member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars and the Barnesville Moose, Elks, and Eagles. His hobbies included carpentry, cooking, and fishing.

        Bernard retired after 50 years of service from the United Ohio Valley Dairy plant in Barnesville. Bernard said he hung around the dairy, playing cards with the truck drivers, until he was 15 years old, when one of the bosses offered him a job. He began his dairy career in the receiving room where the incoming milk was weighed, sampled, and tested. At that time, about 40 routes were coming in daily from area farmers. Bernard spent his entire working career at the dairy except for the three years he served with the Medical Corps. In 1960, he became maintenance supervisor for the dairy's field offices. His job involved maintaining all the machinery in the remaining Barnesville plant, or as he said, "I just keep the wheels a turning."

        In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his infant sister, Cecelin Ritchie; infant brother, Authur Ritchie; and sisters, Stella Chesser and Jeannette Medley.
