Storm Lake Police Officer Who Hails From Willey Area Gets Support Of His Team As Wife Battles Cancer Diagnosis

The Storm Lake Police Department is partnering with other law enforcement affiliated agencies in an effort to support one of their own. Assistant Chief, Patrick Diekman, says the wife of their colleague, Lt. John Bauer, was recently diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Megan, he says, is a part of their family as well.

John grew up in the Carroll area, outside of Willey, and graduated from Kuemper High School before attending Buena Vista University. Since then, Diekman says, he and Megan both have dedicated their lives to serving others.

This coming Sunday will be a special meal fundraiser, the first of many to not only help show emotional support, but to offer some financial assistance to the family as well.

Diekman says they are getting an assist with the lunch fundraiser from a very special group.

The meal will consist of pulled pork sandwiches, beans, coleslaw and water for a free will donation. Those unable to make it to Sunday’s fundraiser but who would like to support the Bauer family can contact the Storm Lake Police Department at 712-732-8010. They will be able to provide details on the available options.
