Nemmers, 83, of Le Mars, died suddenly Tuesday, Nov. 9, 2010, at his home in Le Mars. Clay was born March 8, 1927, in Le Mars, the son of Francis and Vera (St. Germaine) Nemmers. Clay was also affectionately called "Tiger" by many of his family and friends. He graduated from Le Mars Central High School in 1945, and enlisted with the United States Navy where he served in World War II. He was a member of Admiral Byrd's 1946 expedition to the Antarctic, known as Operation Hi Jump. Using PBM airplanes the operation mapped over a third of the continent. During the Korean War, he was called to active duty for his expertise in communication equipment. He served on the ship USS Currituck, 1946 to 1947-AV-7, Rank AET Mic, Division V and he attended many of the ship members' reunions. He was also a member of the Underwater Demolition Team. He was a member of both the World War II and Korean War Last Man's Clubs. He was an active member of the American Legion Club, and was a volunteer with the Plymouth County Search and Rescue Team. Additionally, he was also personally responsible for saving other peoples' lives at a time when there were no emergency response units available. After his honorable discharge he returned to Le Mars where he met Jeannie (Yoerger) who he married Aug. 16, 1954, at St. Joseph's Catholic Church -- Ellendale, rural Merrill.
