To the Delbone family

Your dad and grandfather was a terrific guy and we had a lot of fun with him on the senior class trip with Mark. He was a wonderful baseball coach and our boys loved him! We are so sorry to hear about your loss, but know he will never be forgotten. Love Joe and Carol Glynn McCall, Idaho

I will always remember "Red" Delbone as a member of D battery, 745th AAA Gun Bn Conn Army National Guard. I was his btry commander and we parted ways only to be reunited when he joined the Governor's Foot Guard. The memories are pleasant although Parkinson's is not. God rest his soul.

Pete, Kimmy, Mark,

We are deeply saddened to hear of your Dad's passing. He was the best friend and neighbor anyone could ever have. Some of our best times were the back yard cookouts we had during the 25 years that we lived next door to him and your mom. The shack, card games, GHO, dog track. OTB, and the many many time we shared with them are unforgettable. Our whole family was touched by Junie's kindness and we will miss him greatly.

Love,

Terry and Jerry Maher
