Fallen shooter at State

[Mary Bleiler]

Some of you have heard that we had a shooter taken off the line on Friday.He was transported to the UW in Madison because Rapids did not have the equipment needed for his care. Today Gordy Putman passed away. Betty is doing better. Please keep her and the family in your thoughts and prayers.
We were hoping he was going to get through this one as he has in the past but it wasn’t meant to be.

Putman, 79, of Clinton, WI, passed away on Monday, July 24, 2017 at UW Hospital, Madison, WI. He was born April 24, 1938 in Beloit, WI, to Roy and Eva (Rockwell) Putman. Gordy was a 1956 graduate of Darien High School. He was a veteran, serving with the U.S. Army for three years. Gordy married Betty Jacobs on September 17, 1957 in Woodstock, IL. Gordy was employed by Local 118 as a pipefitter/welder, retiring in 2001. He was a fighter to the end, a friend to many, and could “BS” with the best of them. Gordy was a devoted family man who enjoyed trap shooting, tinkering around the house, and teaching his grandchildren and great-grandchildren many life lessons while babysitting.</p>
