Scholarship established
The family of the late David G. Gangwer, Sandusky County Sheriff, has established a memorial scholarship fund at Terra Community College in his name.

The David G. Gangwer Memorial Scholarship Endowment Fund will provide scholarships for Sandusky County students enrolled in Terra’s Law Enforcement programs. It was created through the generosity of the family, the many friends who contributed memorials and the Croghan Colonial Bank.

Gangwer, who passed away Aug. 31, first served the area as a patrolman for the Fremont Police Department from 1966 to 1972. He joined the Sandusky County Sheriff’s Office in 1972 and worked his way through the ranks. He was elected Sheriff in 1985 and was in his sixth term in that position when he died.
