Read MoreI just found out about Del. What a loss. He was a wonderful man and always had kind words of encouragement. I will miss you my friend. I will never forget the multiple Christmas Eve services we would play, sometimes 5 that day and night; always handled through Del. Be at peace my friend.

I worked with Del at LINK for several years. My kids remember fondly the LAC Old Timer Game trips to Yankee Stadium and the softball games at Cole Park with Del. I would like to express to the family my sincere and heartfelt condolences. Rest in Peace, Del.

Del - was a great friend who did a lot for peopele in a blessed way - I would call him a silent saint- He played trumpet solo's at my wedding in 1993 Mass and did trumpet solo at my commissioning Mass in 1985 - He was a great pitcher in the game of softball and never lost his cool as a palyer coach, or as an umpire. He loved the game of softball and in his last years; he would walk from his nursing home to watch games at BCC for hours and would give good comments to help players and umpires...

I'm sorry to hear of Del's passing. We played trumpet together in the IBM band and he was always a joy to sit next to at rehearsals and concerts.

Del's intensity of his playing the trumpet was exceeded only by the friendly intensity of his eyes.

Del was one of the founding members of the Binghamton Community Orchestra; we played together for many seasons. He always greeted me with a smile and a chipper greeting, even after his health deteriorated. He will not be forgotten by his many friends...

R.I.P. cousin Del. May you rest now in a better place with no pain or suffering. You were an outstanding person, just like your parents.

I'm so happy to see all the beautiful pictures of Del that everyone sent in. I've only known Del for seven years (after his stoke). He was an amazing man and would put a smile on everyone that was near him. I needed his friendship more then he needed mine. I will miss you so much my friend.
