He saved his money and bought a boat and traveled to Canada many times to go ishing. He also had many wonderful years traveling with his camp trailer, and later a ifth-wheel, to his much-loved mountains, the coast and many trips to the Columbia River. He had many good years and good friends for which he was thankful. Delmer loved his fam- ily. His boys and his grand- kids were his pride and joy, and he loved spending time with them. He was a great example for his children. He was a lifetime mem- ber of the Heppner BPOE # 358 and was a Past Exalted Ruler of that lodge. He was an active member and par- ticipant until his health no longer allowed his to do so. Delmer is survived by dustry as a logger for Mc- Carty Logging, and from 2000-2005 he worked for the Walmart Distribution Center as a forklift operator. After suffering a traumatic head injury, Jerry spent a year at Elks Rehabilitation learning to walk and talk again. In a year’s time, he had improved enough to live independently and was able to go back to work as a logger, which he dearly loved. Learning to live again was his greatest ac- complishment and one he did very successfully until his death. Fishing, hunting, trips to the ocean, cattle drives, night herding cattle and traveling were among his favorite things.
