BLUE EARTH -- Delmer LeRoy Bloomquist passed away Wednesday, Feb. 10, 2021, at his home, at the age of 80. A celebration of life for him is being planned for the spring.
Delmer was born in Hudson, S.D., the oldest of three children born to Alven and Ellan (Ring) Bloomquist. Delmer most enjoyed being outside. He worked as a farm hand for many years, then, later in life, enjoyed running his own mowing and snow removal business. Delmer could often be found swapping stories and catching up with friends, whether it be at the local watering hole or his familiar chair seated in front of his house. His friendly disposition and helpful nature made him a treasure to many. Delmer is survived by his wife of nearly 50 years, Shirley (Conant) Bloomquist of Blue Earth; daughter, Gail (Randy) Lorenz of Redwood, Minn.; sister, Sandy Boyd of Elmore, Minn.; brother, Ronald (Sheila) Bloomquist of Tontan, Minn.; two grandchildren; one great-grandson; many nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents; and son, Delmer Jr.
