GoFundMe Created For Memorial Bench In Lemont Dog Park

LEMONT, IL — Lemont Township is raising money for a memorial bench after the death of a member of the Central Bark Dog Park. Ed Werderits was a daily visitor to the dog park and led many groups and shared his love of dogs and life, the township said.

The township has created a GoFundMe to raise money for a bench that would encircle the large tree in the center of the park, which is something Werderits always talked about.

"This will be a wonderful reminder of a man who cared so deeply for his two and four legged friends," the township said.

The GoFundMe has a goal of $2,500, and $1,650 has already been raised as of Oct. 1.
