Herman Ulmer
Nov. 24, 1923 - May 6, 2022

Sutton resident Herman R. Ulmer, 98, passed away Friday, May 6, 2022, at his home in Sutton.

Herman R. Ulmer was born Nov. 24, 19223 in Burke, SD, the son of Jacob F. and Julia (Serr) Ulmer. He attended public school in South Dakota until the family moved to Benedict, where he graduated high school. Hermie worked for the Harrington family farm until his marriage on Aug. 5, 1944 to Verta Ely. They were married 64 years. To this union, four children were born: Robert (Bob), Bonnie, Donald, and Glenn. He continued to farm north of Saronville until he assumed the management of the Sutton Grain Company in 1948 until his retirement in 1988.

Hermie was very active playing softball and bowling until he reached his late 80s. He was instrumental in starting the Clay Bowl leages in 1963 and served as director, as well as, sponsoring a Sutton Grain Co. team. Herm had the first 703 series bowling record on Jan. 25, 1973. His passion was fishing, and he enjoyed this sport mostly at Glen Elder, KS, but also fished with his family in Florida and the Bahamas. Herm's quote was "I quit deep sea fishing when the fist weighed more than I did."
Herm was preceded in death by his wife, Verta, and his son, Donald.

Herm will be remember for teaching life lession to four generations of family and friends (patience, fairness, and fun) through his loving for playing cards.
