William D. Delp
July 14, 1948 ~ February 7, 2021
William D. Delp, 72, passed away peacefully at home February 7, 2021, after a courageous, four-year battle with cancer. Bill was born July 14, 1948, to the late Estine and Ada (York) Delp.
He graduated from Cascade High School in 1966 and married Denise (Miller) Delp in 1969. Bill worked for the United States Postal Service for 34 years before retiring. A longtime and faithful member of Mt. Gilead Church, Bill’s faith was very important to him. He was grateful for his own salvation and coming to know Christ. Bill enjoyed fishing, golfing, collecting old toys, and gardening. One of his greatest gifts that he shared often was his delightful sense of humor. Bill loved to make people laugh, and it was that gift that first drew Denise to Bill, solidifying a 51 year union. In addition to his faith, Bill’s love and devotion for his family was also very strong. He will be fondly remembered by his loved ones and many friends for his compassion for others.
In addition to his parents, Bill was preceded in death by a son, Scotty and brothers, Everett and Bob.
Survivors include his wife, Denise; children, David Delp and Joy (Mark) Henderson; brothers, Donald and Jim (Marilyn) Delp; sisters, Shirley Ross, Irene Schoening, Judy (Frank) Shields, Betty Sutton, Mary (Frank) Delp, Fay (Perry) Grounds.
Visitation will be Thursday, March 18, 2021, 12 – 2 p.m., at Mt. Gilead Church, with a memorial service beginning at 2 p.m. Pastors Jeff Faull and Terry Crist will officiate. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital, Humane Society of Morgan County, or to the church’s building fund.

Billy was one of the kindest people I’ve ever known. He always had a smile. His life was a testimony to his love for Jesus. He loved his God, his family, his friends and his church family. I will miss him.
No words to adequately say what a special person Billy was. He left his mark on all he met. Such a blessed privilege to have known him. My very best to Denise and David.

So sorry to hear about Bill. He has always a job to be around and will be greatly missed.
So sorry for your loss. Our prayers are with you.
I was saddened to learn of Bill’s passing. I have many fond memories of Bill, his quick wit, and just hanging out with the guys in Coatesville as kids. My deepest sympathy to his family and friends for their loss.
Billy used to come to our house with my Brother-in-law, Darrel Barrow, when they were still in High School. He was so curtious, and friendly. I have seen him many times through the years. He always spoke, and, sometimes we would talk for quite awhile. I was so sad, when he told me he had cancer, he seemed to be dealing with it, pretty good. I will miss seeing him, at Kroger, and, Big O tire. Rest in Peace, Billy.
Have a lot of fond memories of Bill at work at USPS and outside of work. From playing basketball, softball , and some of the escapades on the golf course. Thoughts and Prayers to all. RIP Bill! Keith Duncan
