Hello Dad...Got thru Christmas...and now anticipating the New Year...I can hardly believe how the time has passed by...Missing you daily...but, know you are watchful...I still find coins here and there...stop and pick them up...Keeps my heart open to HOPE...Struggling with Brian again...He is so LOST...still yearns for your attention and guidance...Misses you deeply...I know you are watching out for him...By the Grace of God, he is still alive and breathing...Heartaches ovewhelm me...I want him to be ok...Frustration disables me...because I know he is a good person inside...and for some reason he cannot see this quality in himself...It is not fair...that Brian continues to feed that pain...I cannot comprehend where this obsession comes from...why he wants to destroy himself...and why everyone around him must suffer, too...AND we do suffer...for we know he is in pain...and so out of touch with LIFE...that we hurt for him...Dad please ask GOD to protect him...and breathe HOPE and comfort into his hurting heart...Let him know that things will be alright...and that he must trust in GOD...We need a miracle...in a big way! Thank you papa....I miss you with all my heart...Love and hugs...waiting until we can be together once again...Your daughter, Lisa Kay##imported-begin##Lisa##imported-end##

Hello Dad...Yes, it's been nearly 3 years since you've been gone...I think of you daily...Whenever I come across a fallen coin...I pick it up and thank you for thinking of me...It lifts me up, just knowing you are never far from me...I've been to your gravesite a few times...not as much as I had vowed...I recently came to visit with you...I knelt down in front of your marker...sobbing...as I grieved...because I miss you so much...I asked for your help with Brian...My heart was heavy and troubled...I yearned for your words of wisdom...I know that you and Brian were close...as "two peas in a pod"...My prayers are for him to mature, find a good job, and leave the life of drugs and alcohol behind him...He is so intelligent, Dad...you already know this...I couldn't stop the tears...and I couldn't see in front of me...I reached down to run my fingers across your name...I looked to the right hand side of your marker...there before me lay a shiny new penny...I knew then, that you had heard my cries...and that you knew what my heart had felt...I smiled and wiped my tears...I felt a sense of relief...In God's time...I know things will change for Brian...This is my prayer and HOPE...I know you are with family now...and walking with Jesus daily...Happy and healthy...not suffering anymore...For that I am grateful...See you again, someday...May God's Peace cover you, Dad...Keep an eye on us here...k? I love you with all my heart...HUGS!! Lisa Kay##imported-begin##Lisa Brown##imported-end##

I only know that heaven must be an even brighter place now that Denny and his "Unc" are sharing fond memories with wonderful company - Sharon;Denny's sister and Les - Denny's dad and Del's brother-in-law.##imported-begin##Evelyn Fox Schneider##imported-end##

Del was a fine employee. He was dependable, kind, ready to help anyone and most of all upbeat. We shall never forget his singing at many company events. (What a voice) We consider it an honor to have had the pleasure of knowing Del. Our sympathy goes out to Vi and the kids and grandkids. He was a heck of a guy.

Del,without a doubt, was the greatest guard to come out of Clover Park HS. He could hang in the air forever and swish it from 20'. He brought fame and honor to our great school and will be greatly missed. His memories will go on. Our deepest sympathy to you all.##imported-begin##Ken & Linda Still##imported-end##

I was so sad to read the obits this morning.I attended Parkland Ele. Jr. High with Delbert. He & I were the whole schools BEST atheletes. We sat side by side through our school years. Had many laughs. I respected Del so much. He was a caring person & stood up for me in regard to girls sports. Wish I could have known Del through the years. He was so good in sports!!!! He would fight for the underdog. WONDERFUL TO HAVE KNOWN & ATTEND SCHOOL WITH DEL. I have been married for 50 yrs. to my husband & it would have been fun to have known all of you. I am still involved in sports. BOWLING has been my game.I give all of you my very special condolences and GOD BLESS EVERYONE OF YOU.
Sincerely,

I know it has been a long ordeal for your family. I wish to send to you my sincere and heart felt sympathy. Times like these are never easy no matter what the circumstances. It is comforting to have a family such as yours that loves each other and supports one another. God bless you all as you grieve the loss of your husband, father, and grandfather. I have so many wonderful memories of your home (always open to me) and the MANY ways Del would find to tease me (not a difficult task!)
Love and prayers,
