He was baptized November 28, 1948, at home and confirmed April 15, 1962, at St. John Lutheran Church in Sumner. Delwin received his education in the Sumner Schools and graduated from Sumner High School in 1966. He would further his education at N.I.A.C.C. in Mason City focusing on mechanics. Delwin was united in marriage with Brenda Borcherding, June 25, 1983, with Rev. John Sorenson presiding. He worked for Poock Equipment in Sumner, Clay Equipment in Cedar Falls, prior to working for Bremer County from 1972 until his retirement in 2013.
