Clem Loecher was born February 7, 1932 at his family home in McIntire, IA to John and Elizabeth Loecher (Koenigs) and passed away January 21, 2022. Clem was united in marriage to Janice Mauer on February 3, 1962. Clem is preceded in death by his parents, sister Irene, brother Ambrose, son-in-law Keith, two brother-in-laws and a sister-in-law.

Clem was a proud farmer who raised corn, beans and poultry and instilled a strong work ethic and ingenuity in his children and encouraged them as they continued in their endeavors. Clem was a person of faith and a member of St Peter’s Catholic Church and contributed his time and talents in the church and parish cemetery. He was also a member of the Farm Bureau and the Knights of Columbus. Clem was gifted with the art of necessity. Having the ability to create on his own an application necessary for his farming operation with a self-design and ingenuity to make it a reality - his steel pile, welder and machine tools being his aids, leaving his sons to wonder how. Clem’s hobbies included winning at cards, casino trips, conversing with other farmers and working on his antique machinery. After retirement, Clem and Janice enjoyed traveling and spending time with their children and attending the numerous events of their grandchildren. And finally, partaking in a love for polka, in which he indulged his children, to their dismay. Champion Funeral Home, Osage, 641-732-3706,
