Kevin Goemmer, horse racing caller
Kevin Goemmer became one of the tri-state's best-known horse racing callers.
As recently as last week, he was announcing races at Turfway Park in Florence, filling in for regular announcer Mike Battaglia. Tuesday, he died of an apparent heart attack at the age of 48.
"Kevin truly had in his heart a great passion for horse racing," said Turfway President Bob Elliston.
Mr. Goemmer will be remembered for his patented race calls.
"A plodder would 'see 'em all,'" said John Engelhardt, publicity director of River Downs in Cincinnati and a longtime friend. "A pacesetter was always 'showing his heels' to the field."
Mr. Goemmer started working as an announcer in 1980 at River Downs, where he also served as director of publicity and assistant general manager until 1995, when he left to call races at Arlington Park, Hawthorne and Sportsman's Park, all in Chicago.
He returned to Kentucky in 2000 to take a position at Charlson Broadcast Technologies in Erlanger as director of sales and marketing. Charlson provides graphics for in-house and simulcast products at race tracks.
He continued to fill in as an announcer, however.
"He just loved to announce the horse racing, and he's always been a part of it," said a son, Jason Goemmer.
Mr. Goemmer is survived by his wife of 28 years, Deborah Goemmer, and a second son, Justin.
Funeral services will be at 1 p.m. Tuesday and Allison and Rose Funeral Home, Taylor Mill. Visitation will be at the funeral home from 4 to 8 p.m. Monday. Memorials are suggested to the Kevin Goemmer Memorial Fund and may be made at any branch of Fifth Third Bank.

Gerald Mullins, ad executive with compassion, wit
Gerald P. Mullins was an advertising executive with a wide range of interests perhaps best illustrated by the fact that he was both a season subscriber to the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra and to the Cincinnati Bengals football games.
"He is cherished by family and a lifelong legion of friends for his compassion, generosity and humor," said his daughter, Lisa J. Mullins of Covington.
"He was a fun-loving father and friend. He had a quick and arid dry wit that would have people doubled over with laughter."
Mr. Mullins, of Covington, formerly of Hyde Park, died Thursday at the Christ Hospital in Cincinnati. He was 75.
Born in New York City, Mr. Mullins was the grandson of a more well-known native of the Big Apple: Charles F. Gulden, founder of Gulden's Mustard Co.
Mr. Mullins graduated from Cardinal Farley 
military Academy in Rhinecliff, N.Y., and earned degrees in history and philosophy at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C.
An Army veteran of the
Korean War, he was an advertising executive with Time-Life in New York before moving to Cincinnati in 1964 to become advertising director of the Formica Corp.
"He wanted to raise his daughters in the Midwest," said Lisa Mullins, who is executive director of Enjoy The Arts in Cincinnati.
Mr. Mullins worked at Formica about 17 years, then left in the early 1980s to open his own marketing and advertising consulting firm. He retired in 1994.
Mr. Mullins lived in Hyde Park for 38 years before moving to Covington in 2002.
In addition to Lisa Mullins, he is survived by his devoted companion and former wife, Joan H. Mullins of Covington; daughters, Donna F. Mullins of Alexandria, Va., and Deirdre C. Mullins of Covington; a brother, Thomas F. Mullins Jr., of Point Pleasant, N.J.; four nieces and five nephews.

Gentry Aubrey, 24, clerk in Stan Chesley's law firm
Gentry Aubrey, 24, a second-year law student and law clerk for a prominent Cincinnati firm, died after a car crash Saturday on the Brent Spence Bridge.
Mr. Aubrey was attending Salmon P. Chase Law School at Northern Kentucky University on a full scholarship and was the vice president of the school's law fraternity.

Mr. Aubrey and his fiancée, Chrissy Dunn of Fort Thomas, served as co-captains of Chase's moot court team and had just finished preparing a 15-page brief to defend in national competition.
"The happiest time of our boy's life was the past 18 months," said his stepfather, Peter Lefaivre. "He just grew up and became this wonderful young man who still had these childlike qualities of being so kind and thoughtful."
Survivors, in addition to his stepfather and fiancée, include his mother, Connie Lefaivre; his father, David Aubrey of Lexington; two stepbrothers; a stepsister; his grandparents, and stepgrandparents.
Services will be at 2 p.m. Thursday at Lakeside Christian Church, Lakeside Park. Visitation will be from 4 to 8 p.m. Wednesday at Linnemann Funeral Home, Burlington. Burial will be in Highland Cemetery, Fort Mitchell.
