Delmos was the most caring man I’ve known besides my father. He loved boating & it was on his boat that I learned to ski. He always laughed when I fell. I will always remember his smile.
Idona, we are so very sorry to learn of the passing of Delmos. We sure had some good times back in the 60’s, riding our motorcycles all over the countryside. Those were some really fun times. Please know that you and your family are in our prayers. Dot and Roy Ward
We used to spend time with Delmos and Idona when our kids were growing up. my sympathies to Idona and family.I
Uncle Delmos was a kind and gentle man. I don’t think I ever heard anyone speak an unkind word about him. Sorry to hear of his passing.
Ira, I was sorry to hear about your dad. I can honestly say, ‘I know how you feel.’ I know mom thought an awful lot of your mom and appreciated her. Tell her I am sorry. I didn’t realize that the name was your dad’s until later by then I had missed the viewing. God’s prayers are with you. Sincerely, Leslie Frazier Mitchell
