Condolences can be left at www.giallfaiths.com Larry H. Obermiller was born August 3, 1932, to Emil and Anna (Hagmann) Obermiller on the family farm in rural Dannebrog, NE. Larry, alongside his 10 siblings, spent his childhood on the family farm five miles west of Dannebrog. He attended a rural country school and finished his education in Boelus, NE. Larry served four years in the United States Air Force, enlisting on January 15, 1953, and was honorably discharged on January 14, 1957. On June 6, 1959, Larry was united in marriage to Arlene Rosella Steinbach. To this union six children were born. They moved to the family farm in 1969 after Larry’s parents retired from farming and moved into town. Larry spent his life farming and raising cattle. The farm was a special place for him as he continued to visit it regularly after moving to Grand Island in 2013. He was a member of the Blessed Sacrament Catholic Church, Lions Club, Ducks Unlimited, American Legion, and the Platt-Duetsche. Larry enjoyed fishing, hunting, trapping, playing cards and going to casinos. At 75 years old he decided to take up golf, which he continued to play until age 90. He was very good at cards and seemed to win every time he visited a casino which resulted in his nickname Lucky O. His friends simply called him Lucky. In his later years, he could be found almost daily at the café in Dannebrog playing cards and visiting with the locals. He was known for being kind and friendly as he never met a stranger. Many considered him a friend. Those left to cherish his memory include his wife of 66 years, Arlene Obermiller; children, Julie (Kelly) Boyden of York, Kay (Jeff) Ballard of Harrisburg, SD, Lori (Bryce) Royle of Dannebrog, Kelli (Chuck) Eubanks of Cambridge, Roger (April) Obermiller of Willis, TX and Janet (Jeff) Buhrman of St. Libory; grandchildren, Josh Boyden, Michelle Steiger, Nic Boyden, Jessie (Alec) Harreld, Jared (Shelby) Ballard, Justin Williams, Becca (Josh) Taylor, Tyler (Miranda) Williams, Lindsey (Austin) White, Breanna (Jake) Witte, Kyle (Terri) Eubanks, Lexi Youst, Ariel (Bret) Neel, Cody (Stacey) Buhrman, and Katelyn (Casey) Church; 22 great grandchildren; sisters, Shirley Stutzman and Connie (Darrel) Anderson; sisters in-law, Betty Lou, Vicki and Vange Obermiller and numerous nieces and nephews. Larry was preceded in death by his parents; brothers, infant Virgil, Delvin (Mary), Gailord (Leona), Don (Doris), Paul, Harold (Bonnie), Jim (Beth) and Emil Jr. Obermiller; sister, Darlene (Gerard) Eilenstine; parents in-law, Henry and Rose Steinbach; sister in-law, Mary (Todd) Muirhead and brother in-law, Larry Stutzman.
