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.
