Remembering Grandpa Del with gratitude for sharing his great faith in the Lord, positive contributions to the community and inspiring / supporting many people. Greatly blessed. Hope someday our family can visit and pay respect to his grave when it is safe to do so. We pay it forward. His is a life well lived. Thank you, Grandpa Del.

Our family hold Grandpa Del as I call him in fond memories and gratitude for his inspiration of great faith and loving kindness. Wherever I am, from the Philippines to Singapore and now in Canada, his wisdom, spirit-filled encouragement and support touched and made a difference in our lives, as it did to many others. I will miss his hand-written letters, the notes that goes with it, and yes the seeds. While we are sad, we rejoices that he is now in heaven. Indeed, he lived a full life in...

We first met Del and Bebe at the Iowa CFO many years ago. We were much inspired by them. We enjoyed the Spirit in Action news letters he sent, and the personal notes he always included. He will be greatly missed.

You challenged me to go farther by allowing me to translate the articles you used to send me.
Blessings!! Shalom!!

Del's commanding presence was not intimidating, however, as it was balanced by...

Thank you, Del for all you did for the world, for all who knew you, for being such a man of light and love. You certainly walked your talk in all you did.

I am grateful for your wonderful memory--of remembering little details about all the people you knew. How I appreciated your remembering all about my husband although you had seen him only a few times.

How kind you were to write letters to those who had lost loved ones or had physical challenges---all in your own clear...
