He moved with his family to Morton when he was a small child. Delbert received his formal education in Morton Public School and graduated from Morton High School.

Delbert enjoyed reading the paper and always read every word – from the front page to the back page. He liked sports and was a big Vikings fan. Delbert was a stay-at-home kind of guy and enjoyed listening to country music. He is survived by his brother Melvin Buehler of Morton; sister Joyce (Craig) Neuenburg of West St. Paul; nephews Steven Barnes of Tucson, Arizona, Gary Barnes of Cleveland, Ohio, Bill Buehler of St. Paul, and Alan Neuenburg of West St. Paul; and nieces Barbara Beck of Golden Valley, Susan Tawara of Atlanta, Georgia, and Jolene Kissner of Blaine. Delbert was preceded in death by his parents, Chris and Elsie Buehler; brother Joseph Buehler; sister Elois Barnes; and nephew Keith Barnes. Blessed be his memory.
