Not sure what to say?

I enjoyed knowing Del for many years at Dow. He was an excellent scientist and problem solver, always open to discuss new applications. Since retirement he maintained contact with his friends through the Dow Analytical Retirees Group. I can remember many discussions with Del. He will be missed by all. Lynn Walker, Midland

I have memories of Del and Ruth helping Edenville Township connect to water. They were both good, kind, and brilliant people . It was a pleasure knowing them. I'm praying for their family to find comfort and peace in this difficult time.

Sorry to hear of Delmar´s passing. Mom and dad spoke of him often. May God be with during this time. Love through Christ Bob and Bev Adams St Louis, Michigan

My wife, Karen, and I knew Del from the Midland Amateur Radio Club and from working at Dow. I met him shortly after my arrival in Midland in the 1980s. He was one reason I knew right away that Midland was going to be a great place to make my adult home. God bless the Lafevor family.

Few men have the stature of Del in my minds eye. He was a brilliant scholar and an accomplished musician. His family reflects his life, a life of humble devotion to God. When I reflect on his many fulfilling accomplishments I realize how God blesses faith. On every level Del wove wellbeing. Music, sailing, radio, foremost, his love for God´s Word in Gideon service. May the family have comfort and may all who knew him rejoice. A faithful servant has gone to that forever home.
