Pallmer had a great love of sports and cars. He played on two softball teams until his late forties before trading in his baseball bat for golf clubs. He would never miss a chance to sit and watch sports on TV and at times would be listening to another game on the radio at the same time.
He learned his love of cars from his father who owned Bob’s Auto Repair in Willmar. Pallmer could recite everything and anything about cars back to the 1920’s and 30’s.
He put his knowledge of cars to good use helping many friends and family by working on their cars.
