Delano Black

Frank and I remember Delano as good friend and his stories always interested Frank and me. I miss his humor and relationship as a friend from University of Memphis.

I knew Delano in the early 1970s. He shared his office with my friend Sarah Warrington. I spent hours in their office studying between classes. Delano nicknamed meTheophrastus because I was learning to read the Greek New Testament. He was the loveliest, liveliest man and I loved him so much. I just happened to see his obituary today and I will be remembering him as he is memorialized today. Gale (Wheeler) Welden MSU class of 1972

Lynette, I so much enjoyed sitting next to Delano in Idlewild´s choir during my years there. He was always so friendly and encouraging to me. I know he will be well remembered and sorely missed. God bless you.

He was one of my favorite folks-so hard-working, talented, caring-you know the kind.

Lynette, we´re sorry to hear about Delano but enjoyed reading about his full life in the obituary. You two were the best neighbors to our rambunctious children. I´ll never forget how gracious Delano was when one of ours hit a ball through your glass front door. We miss having you as neighbors and are thinking of you all.

Lynette, our hearts go out to you and your family. The quilting Bee members remember fondly Delano s smiling, welcoming face when we came to your home for our meetings. He will be missed. Lorraine, Nancy, Brenda, Debbie, Kathy and Judy.

So sorry to learn about Delano. My husband Frank Dyer also worked at University of Memphis and dearly loved sharing social times with him. Mildred Dyer

Offering our deepest condolences during this difficult time.
