On August 21, 2024, the Waseca County Sheriff’s Office received the donation of two all steel memorial benches for our two fallen Sheriffs.  These benches were hand built by V/M Engineering & Associates in Faribault, MN. The owners, Todd and Merle Vold and Fabrication Manager Mark Clevenger collaborated with the Donald D. Eustice Scholarship Committee to design the benches. Also, thank you to Kyle Roers at Clear Cut Metal Art from Janesville for designing the badge in the center.

Those present in the photos are Sheriff Jay Dulas, Investigator Joe Roeker, Todd Vold of V/M Engineering & Associates, Chief Deputy Doug Gerdts, and Cheryl Clevenger with the Donald D. Eustice Scholarship Committee. A special thanks to Joe Roeker and Cheryl Clevenger in coordinating this project with those mentioned.

We are very grateful for the wonderful donation and really appreciate all the hard work and time that everyone put into this project. The benches will be at the Waseca County Sheriff’s Office for everyone to enjoy. Feel free to stop in the sheriff’s office lobby and see the benches.  We must never forget their sacrifice.
