My sincere sympathies to all the family of Delano. I had the pleasure of knowing the Junker family while attending the Mt Lake Christian Reformed Church as a child. After I was married & moved to Sioux Falls I'd occasionally run into Delano in a store or restaurant and was always greeted with that big smile! He was always the same down to earth good hearted man I had known growing up. We were all blessed to have known him. Marlene (Hulzebos) Olson

My sincere sympathy to all you children and your families. Memories go back to when we were neighbors near Bingham Lake to 4-H market shows to your home near St. James and occassional passing after that. Your father came to visit Jerald several times when Jerald was hospitalized at Sanford. You have lost your uncles, and now your father. I lost my dear cousin, Mary Clement last April,and Jerald passed away on 1/3 17, so it has been and is difficult for all us. A blessing that we have faith, and know our loved ones did. Blessings to all of you from the Jensen family; Carol, Trevor, Brian and Lynn. Del and Jerald in a better, and, special place.

My heart aches that this wonderful man is no longer with us. He was like a second father to me. A fishing partner and a brother in Christ. We shared many memories and prayerful times through the Gideon organization. I know he is in a better place and as I told him when I spoke to him last, "I love you Del and I will see you again in this life or the next."
For the family, just know how much he loved all of you. He talked of little else when we were together unless I could get him telling a fishing story or two! :-)
I ask almighty God to be with all of you during this difficult time. I pray He wraps His arms around you and gives you peace.
Rest in Peace Del my friend, I will indeed see you again.

To Denise, Cindy, Pamela, Julie, Doug, and all the grandkids.....Larane and Liz and I want you to know that we lovingly offer our most heartfelt condolences at this time of remembrance and celebration of Dell's life. It can be so hard to say goodbye, but knowing how totally and completely enrapturing will be our love shared with the father on the other side of this life, brings all of us a sense of happiness for your father's, and your grandfather's eternal soul.
Although our family never had the privilege of meeting Dell, we know Denise and Lauren and Riley, and we knew, loved, and respected Pat. Denise and her family have been amazing members of our church who have given so much of their lives to the service of others. We can't help but believe that Dell and Muriel had a lot to do with creating a home environment and setting a positive example for their children that ultimately led to Denise and Pat's shared goals of raising such a wonderful family.
We love you all, we have been and will continue praying for you, and we want you to know that God's love abounds for those who grieve.
God Bless You and your entire family.
