Delmar Bertram

He was born in Waco, Ohio, Delmar and spent his youth in Canton, Ohio. There he met and

married Dorothy Alborn and together they moved to Tampa, Florida in 1957.

Thirty six years of his life were dedicated to Musselman Steel Corporation and he retired

as Supervisor of the shop in 1989. He then ran his own business designing and building

trailers for six years.

He had a natural talent for mechanics and souped up more than a few vehicles, his

only known criminal pastime. An avid traveler he favored long road trips and his free

time was spent camping, fishing, and in his later years hunting. Often he could be found

reading a book by Louis L'Amour. He loved to walk at Wallace Brooks park on the shore

of Henderson Lake.

Del is survived by his children Jay Bertram, Zelda Harrell, Cinda Hancock, Debra

Bertram, Connie Graves, Bobby Bertam and Misty Bertram. He also leaves behind

twelve grandchildren, twenty-three great grandchildren, and his brothers and sisters.

He will be dearly missed.
