CENTREVILLE, MI (WTVB) – Animal Control in St. Joseph County has received what is being called a significant donation from Stephanie and Terry Strawbridge of Westville, Indiana, on behalf of Stephanie’s brother, Dave Ritzer, who passed away in 2020.
Ritzer was a long-time resident of the county, a respected member of the business community, and champion of animals in need.
St. Joseph County Undersheriff Jason Bingaman says, “Support from members of the community is always appreciated, but being remembered by someone as part of their legacy is the ultimate honor. Through his business, Dave was well-known and respected in the law enforcement community. We are grateful and privileged to have this way of keeping his memory alive within our agency.”
The St. Joseph County United Way will manage the donated funds. They will be used for facility upgrades and equipment.
Anyone wishing to contribute to the fund may contact the St. Joseph County United Way.
