LAKE COUNTY, Calif. — Delmar Lee Fellers passed away March 16, 2021.

He was born in Oregon on March 27, 1938.

Later in the 1940s they moved to Lake County where Daisy met and married Mario Lucchesi (of the Lodge Bar and Restaurant fame).

Delmar attended Burns Valley Elementary and Lower Lake High School, graduating in 1956.

While in high school he participated in a work/school program at the local Bank of America branch which started his career in banking.

He later entered a training program with the bank which ultimately led him to become a vice president with postings to international banking in Hong Kong, Spain and Chile.

He later returned to the United States as a lending officer to some of the biggest builders in the country.

Delmar was not born into wealth. He had to hustle and hustle he did. After his banking career he owned and operated several successful businesses in the Clearlake area.

He was a past member of the Lakeshore Lions Club and a director of the Highlands Water Company.

Delmar lost Jeanette, his wife of 61 years, in 2018. At the end of his life he was comforted knowing that they would be together again.
