Delmar L. Bassler, Sr, 63, of McAlisterville, passed away on Monday, April 5, 2021 at the Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center in Hershey.

Born on November 7, 1957 in Lewistown, Mifflin County, he is a son of the late Robert K. and Valera M. (Forry) Bassler.

Surviving him are his children, Delmar L. Bassler, Jr. and his wife Pamela of Duncannon, Bradley A. Bassler and his wife Nicole and Shannon L. Coudriet and her husband Mike, all of McAlisterville; five grandchildren, Maddison Coudriet, Marrisa Coudriet, Makyla Coudriet, Colton Bassler, and Kira Bassler; three siblings, Shirl Lyter of Thompsontown, Nancy Troutman and her husband Larry of Cocolamus, and Kenneth Bassler and his wife Brenda of McAlisterville; one brother in law, Ira “Dice” Hood of Millerstown; and many nieces and nephews.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by a sister, Tracy Hood.

Mr. Bassler was a 1976 graduate of East Juniata High School in Cocolamus and was currently employed with over 42 years of service at the former Pannebaker Cabinets, now known as Tedd Wood in East Salem.

He enjoyed going to dirt track races, especially Port Royal Speedway and hunting; however, cherished time spent with his grandchildren is what brought him the greatest joy.
