Archbold:

Graeme O. “Cracker” Lauber, age 78, of Archbold, passed away in his home on Tuesday, September 24, 2019. Graeme had co-owned, along with his brother, Bruce, the former Lauber Manufacturing in Archbold. He had worked at the factory his entire life.

Graeme was born in Archbold on November 27, 1940, the son of Olley and Cecilia (Lehman) Lauber. On July 28, 1989, he married Gloria Rowe, and she survives. He was a member of St. John’s Christian Church in Archbold. Graeme served for 35 years with the Archbold Fire Department as a firefighter, lieutenant, captain and assistant chief.
