Darryl Lloyd George Grimm was born June 25, 1947 near Brooks, MN son of Orville and Marie (Magoon) Grimm. He was raised there and attended rural school. Darryl worked at the Jenson Mink ranch in Oklee for a few years.
On March 23, 1968 he was united in marriage to Dolores Laniel at McIntosh, MN. To this union 2 children were born Darrin and Denise. In 1970 they moved to Lambert Township. Darryl worked at Arctic Cat in Thief River Falls, Detroiter Mobile Home and Schmitz Construction in Red Lake Falls. His best friend Kenny Parsley talked him into going to work for Thorson Construction in Bemidji, MN where he worked for 35 years retiring in 2010. He worked for CHS in Oklee until his R.A. started bothering him.
He enjoyed life, ice fishing and deer hunting were his passion. He enjoyed watching his granddaughter Maria play sports. In the earlier years he couldn’t wait for snow and enjoyed snow catting. He played 3 different games of solitaire every morning until he won, going through many decks of cards.
