I knew Del as a member of the Washington Host Lions Club. He was always a warm and generous person. I will miss his great personality.

I knew Del for the last 11 yrs of his life. That was not enough. I wish I had had the pleasure of knowing him much sooner. What a kind and gentle man he was. We love him and will miss him. God Bless you Del

Del Ankers took many photographs, now part of our official archives, for both the Cathedral Choral Society and for Washington National Cathedral. What a fascinating career he had! May he rest in peace.
