Read MoreI extend my sincerest condolences to Marilyn and the entire Gantz family for the loss of Del. It was my pleasure top work for Del in the Patent Office for about 20 years He was always willing and able to help and I credit him with much of my success as an Examiner.

I want to be like my Uncle Delbert: busy every day of my life with projects, especially woodworking, even if it's for someone else. I was always amazed how many clocks my Uncle could keep running!

I will always remember "Mr. Gantz" as a kind, soft-spoken, hard-worker and extremely meticulous. My first car belonged to Mr. Gantz - the AMC Hornet. May you rest in peace.
