DIXON – Standing at the front of a crowded church, Harry Ulferts’ daughter told those gathered that legends never die.

“If you make yourself more than just a man, then you become something else entirely,” Elise Ulferts-Hume said. “You become a legend. Every since I remember, I was told by many people that, ‘We need more people like your dad. We need more Harry Ulferts in this world.’”

Students, police officers, firefighters, colleagues, friends and family gathered under the tall wooden beams of Immanuel Lutheran Church Saturday to say goodbye.
