| 7031 | Gerhardt Walter Riemer, age 91, passed away July 4, 2020, in Buffalo General Hospital following a short illness. He was born December 11, 1928, in Medina to Paul and Gertrude (Voigt) Riemer and had lived in this area his entire life. Gerhardt was a US Army veteran serving in the Army Ordnance Corps in Yuma, AZ. A mechanical engineer with a degree from Valparaiso University, his last job was his favorite at Roemac Industrial Sales, Inc. in North Tonawanda. He was a member of St. Michael's Lutheran Church in Wolcottsville and enjoyed serving in many capacities within the church over the years, especially Sunday School Superintendent, Bible study leader, and leadership in the Lutheran Laymen's League. Gerhardt cared very deeply about his family and found great pleasure in being with them. Gerhardt and Betty were very active in family reunions and in working to keep the extended family close and connected. But Gerhardt cared most deeply about sharing this wonderful news with his family and anyone else who would listen: that because Jesus loves us so much He died and rose from the dead to pay the price for our sin so that we could live with Him forever. To the very end of his life, Gerhardt was reminding his children, "God is taking care of me." He was so grateful that because of Jesus there is now no condemnation for us (Romans 8:1) and we are more than conquerors (Romans 8:28-39) despite our own sin, despite the suffering in this world, and despite death itself. Gerhardt chose two other Bible verses to share with his loved ones. The first verse expressed God's faithful care in the midst of this world's trouble. "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear though the earth gives way, though the mountains be moved into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam, though the mountains tremble at its swelling... The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress." (Psalm 46:1-3, 7) The second verse demonstrates Gerhardt's lifelong grateful and joyful response to being given this kind of peace in the midst of this world's troubles, and also expresses how much he was looking forward to eternity with His Savior. "I was glad when they said to me, 'Let us go to the house of the LORD!'" (Psalm 122:1) Gerhardt was predeceased by his wife, Betty Jane; a brother, David Riemer; and his sister, Eunice Foote. He is survived by his children, Debra (Bill) Trowbridge, Marcia (David) Webster, Timothy (Kristin) Riemer, Mary (Daniel) Hahn, Susan (Alex) Knowles, Michael Riemer; his brother, Martin Riemer; 14 grandchildren; 14 great-grandchildren; and many nieces and nephews. Calling hours on Friday, August 14th, 4-7 PM with Funeral Services on Saturday, August 15th at 10:00 AM. Livestream video is also planned for those who are unable to attend in person, all at St. Michael's Lutheran Church, 6377 Wolcottsville Rd., Akron, NY, 14001. Committal at St. Michael's Cemetery.

| 7048 | Giles Marvin Hofmeyer, 86, died December 9 at his home in Niagara Falls. Giles grew up in Cincinnati, Ohio, where much of his family still lives. He volunteered for the draft and discovered radio repair work while serving in the Army. This led to a job as an electronics tech after his service, and then to college at Xavier University where he got his Bachelor's degree in engineering. Giles went on to get a Master's degree in physics from Purdue University, after which he worked at AC Spark Plug on their gyroscope research and development. Bell Aerospace recruited him to Niagara Falls for a new job and a new adventure. Giles worked for Bell for the rest of his career through its sale to Lockheed Martin. Giles spent much of his career working on a gravity gradiometer which would detect minuscule variations in the gravity field as it traveled with an airplane or submarine. Besides the Bell program, MIT and Hughes Aircraft were also working on a gravity gradiometer, but Giles's tiny group of four scientists beat out these giants of industry. Theirs is the only existing gradiometer making gradient measurements throughout the world, aiding in the search for oil, metals, diamonds and hidden tunnels. In 2014, Giles was inducted into the Niagara Frontier Aviation and Aerospace Hall of Fame along with the rest of his Bell group. Giles married Emma Jean Gruver in 1967. They married at Sacred Heart in Niagara Falls and honeymooned in the Adirondacks. Giles and Emma were married for 53 years and shared many adventures fishing, camping, dancing, traveling, and enjoying the company of their family. Giles is survived by his wife, Emma J. Hofmeyer; their children, Kathleen (Robert) Woughter, Jennifer (Robert) Gula, Cynthia (Paul) Devlin, Daniel (Noelle) Hofmeyer, Deborah (James) Stypa and Philip (Jessica) Hofmeyer; six granddaughters, Alexis, Adrienne, Alison, Amanda, Aven, Ayla; eight grandsons, Zachary, Austin, Daniel, Christian, Brady, William, Aidan, Jason; his brother, Max; his sister, Angela; and many nieces and nephews. He was pre-deceased by his parents, Philip and Adrienne Hofmeyer; and his sister, Phyllis (Jack) VanBenschoten. The family will have a private Celebration of Life at a later date. Giles donated his body to the University of Buffalo Anatomical Division. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations to Niagara Hospice or Roswell Park Cancer Institute. | HOFMEYER, Giles Marvin (I98681)
