Aside from serving as an ISP detective, Mohr helped establish the Ripley County American Cancer Society, served on the Ripley County Park Board, and was a member of the Jac-Cen-Del School Board, among holding other community driven positions.

Visitation will be held on Friday, December 17 from 2:00 to 7:00 p.m. at Neal’s Funeral Home, 306 S. Walnut Street in Osgood.
