Not sure what to say?

I remember when dad bought me a car from Delmo said hell Mel he hasn't wrecked a car in two weeks, you need to!

I worked for Delmo at Johnson CHevrolet for years and was on his race team. He was something special, I had a great time to be with him, I went all over the USA and to other countries. Yes he was special.

Gordon sisters of Dallas Texas knew Mr. Johnson and son Delmo jr. For 40+ years Rest in peace Sr. And Jr. Love always. Lisa Gordon

I have had a number of conversations with this "First Class" man, signed many diecast cars for me and told me some very personal stories about racing the Grand Sports, I will defiantly miss one of the greats in Motorsports history.

Delmo was a very amazing guy with a mind of his own. I enjoyed the many invitations on his boat at Pier 121. Had the privilege to meet his close friends and run into him on occasions at Dunstons Steak house. Rest in Peace Delmo. I can picture you doing acrobats in the clouds where you should be. God bless. Christina Miller

Delmo was a really great character. I flew with him and my father Frank Price flew with him. He had as many FAA ratings as any one I have ever flown with

I enjoyed watching Delmo race at Green Valley in '60s; RIP.

Sorry to read that we lost Delmo Jr..My Dad was one of the three Johnson Brothers (Milton, Delmo Sr J. E) and Christmas was celebrated in Mineral Wells, Dallas or Temple and all the cousins have great memories of those family gatherings. Thanks to all who watched over Delmo Jr in his final years.

A truly great person has flown West! You were one of a kind Delmo Johnson in many ways, and will truly be missed by many. RIP my friend.
