This is a hard time for Del's family and for those who miss him very much. I remember him as a funny and intelligent man. He loved all things cars and how to fix them. I have fun memories of his car with the butterfly doors, it always reminded me of the movie, "Back to the Future" with it's DMC DeLorean.
Also my memories of our times at the Fair and Holidays together. My thoughts are with you Del and your Son's Aaron and Raife. Rest Well Grandpa, and I will see you again.

Some of my most favorite memories are game nights at your house when I was young. The adults played cards and us kids would play outside. But we always knew you all were having fun, cause we could hear you laughing Uncle Del. I will miss you.
