Most of my life I lived across from Mr. Delbert, Mrs. Driskill, plus the family as all of us grew up in our full of kids neighborhood. Delbert kept their yard so beautiful, was always chatting with us when we were outside. When my Mom was on hospice he always asked about her,when we'd both be out getting the mail. I have such fond memories of Delbert and all of the family, I am sorry I could not get by much to visit since moving away from Gabor Drive. My Love, hugs, and prayers are sent to...

We are very sorry to hear of Delbert's passing. He was a wonderful person and a great neighbor. He was an Aggie to the core. I know he loved his family, keeping his yard in shape, and playing softball. I just saw him about three weeks ago. when he came out into the front yard and shook my hand and said hello. He was always so happy and pleasant. Back in the day, I can remember him enjoying a Pearl or Jax beer (with salt), in the warm weather. He will be missed. Our thoughts and prayers are...
