Not sure what to say?

I always remember Del playing for our worship services with a trumpet in one hand and playing the drums with the other. I have often mentioned him to people and how amazing that was. What a wonderful musician and kind-hearted man heaven has gained. I am sorry to hear of his passing. Praying for your comfort.

Bill and I so were so sorry to hear of Del's passing. We met Del & Sally several years ago at a Jed Zeplin concert in Overbrook (along with Dave & Loretta) and became instant friends.... sharing a love of blue grass and Gospel music. Over the years that Jed Zeplin played, it was always a thrill to see Del & Sally and Dave & Loretta show up at a gig. May God bless and comfort you Sally, and all of Del's dear loved ones. Karla & Bill Billen

Thank you for all the work you did with the kids at HCS! You were very musically blessed and you enjoyed passing that on to the next generation.

Sally, Rachel and Jon,
Remembering you at this time with fond memories of our Fellowship at the Federated Church. Del's music was so special. He truly used his gift to Gods glory, and our times with the (Young Couples) :) fellowship will always be happy memories. You are in our prayers.

Sally you can finally rest. He's in Gods care now. I love you and will pray for you and your family So many wonderful memories of you both.

Of course it was through music when I met Del. He was an amazing musical artist, teacher and friend and I always enjoyed being around him. Now I have another brother to look forward to meeting up in heavenly places. So long my friend but we'll soon reconnect.

Sally So sorry to hear of Del's passing keeping you and the kids in my prayers. Betty DeWitt
