He was born Feb. 25, 1939, in Burket. At the age of 3, he moved to the family farm near Leesburg. He attended school there and was a great basketball player.

On Sep. 14, 1958, he married Alice Kelly. While living in Indiana, Wilmer enjoyed farming and loved buying all kinds of animals for on the farm. Wilmer and Alice retired, and on June 5, 2005, moved to Colorado to be closer to their children and grandchildren.

Wilmer was a wonderful husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather! During their early retirement years, Wilmer and Alice enjoyed traveling together, having family outings and cookouts with their family.

Wilmer is survived by his daughters, Cynthia (Sal) Mazzara and Suellen Loher (Doug); grandchildren, Travis Kinney, Zach (Danielle) Kinney and Anthony (McKenna) Mazzara; his sweet little great-grandchildren, Jackson and Emma, and many other family members, including a brother, David Loher, Warsaw.

A celebration of life ceremony will be held Oct. 1, 2022, for both Wilmer and Alice.

In lieu of cards and flowers, hospice were our angels here on earth, so we have chosen for donations to be made in Wilmer’s name to Brighton Hospice, 8055 E. Tufts Ave. No. 425, Denver, CO 80237.
