Read More	Dean Walter Schmeling, 78 December 24, 1940 ~ September 11, 2019 Dean was born on December 24, 1940 in Emmetsburg, Iowa to Harry and Marie Schmeling and was raised in Whittemore, Iowa. Dean was baptized and confirmed at St. Paul Lutheran Church, graduated from Whittemore High School and immediately went to work for Rogers Anderson Trucking in Des Moines, Iowa. To be closer to his mom after the death of his dad, Dean went to work for the City of Whittemore “climbing poles” as a city electrician. Dean left Whittemore in 1963 to continue work as an electrician for E. A. Pedersen Company. He met and married Judith Dee Harbaugh in Grand Island, Nebraska in 1964. They were blessed with five children. He served in the United States Air Force during the Vietnam War, as an Electronics Computer Repairman. Upon completion of Air Force service, he moved his family to Elkhorn, Nebraska in 1968. Dean worked as a Field Engineer for the Burroughs Corporation in Omaha, Nebraska which later merged with Sperry Corporation to form Unisys, from which he retired after 40 years. Dean was an active member of Bethany Lutheran Church in Elkhorn, where he served on the Church Council, taught Sunday School and sang in the choir. Dean and Judy retired to Fremont, Ne. Retirement brought them to Peace Lutheran Church in Fremont, where they became active members. Dean was a master handyman and was truly blessed with the ability to build, re-build, fix, or maintain anything he set his mind to. He could often be found "puttsing around" in the garage or working in the garden in his free time. Dean loved tinkering, gardening, and bird watching, but most of all Dean loved spending time with his family. Fourth of July fireworks and a smoked Thanksgiving turkey were family favorites.
