Bio
ROY GRANT RIMMER Memorial services will be held for Roy Grant Rimmer, 71, at 2 p.m. Jan. 18 at Congregational United Church of Christ with the Rev. Merrill Lanker officiating. Military honors will be conducted by the American Legion Marlin B. Anderson Post No. 56 of Veteran. Cremation has taken place. Mr. Rimmer died Jan. 11 at the Veteran's Administration hospital in Reno, Nev. He was born May 7, 1926, to Joseph L. and Dora Mae (Argabright) Rimmer on a farm near Veteran. He graduated from Veteran High School in 1944 and entered the Army. He landed in France on V-Day and was discharged in 1946 as a first sergeant. He married Dorothy Walter on Sept. 26, 1948, and farmed until 1953. From 1958-72 he worked for the Wyoming Highway Department in Douglas and Rawlins. Mr. Rimmer then went into motel management. In 1977 he purchased the Powers Motel in Burley, Idaho, where he worked and lived until his retirement in May 1997. As a young child, Mr. Rimmer learned to play the piano and the accordion. Entertaining his family and friends at dances and parties was a fun past time and life-long joy for him. His music and sense of humor will long be remembered. He is survived by his wife, Dorothy, of Reno, Nev.; daughter Carolyn Eberspecher of Douglas; son David Rimmer of Las Vegas, Nev.; four grandchildren; one step-grandchild; and sisters Ellen Pearce of Belmont, Calif., Dorothy Crandell of Denver, Ruth Barnett of Ellensburg, Wash., and Evelyn Wagoner of Chetwynd, British Columbia, Canada.
