I was traveling through the Annapolis area and got lost looking for a crab house. I had stopped in front of what I remember was a Home Depot? To ask directions.
As I was stopped a white caddy pulled up beside my Vouge RV and said "I´m really glad you came here to visit me" I had no idea what he was talking about.
After I told him that he said that he was at an RV convention with his Vouge RV friends and insisted that I come to his house that was really close. I followed him into a compound must have been a city block full of a fire house Barbershop and many buildings.
He gave me my wife our daughter and my young grandson a tour through his home played videos of him playing with Elvis and then gave us a tour of the entire area that I´ll never forget. He insisted that when I came through again to stop in.
Afterwards every time I came through Annapolis I would call him and we would meet up. He took us to dinner treated my wife and I like he had known us forever.
He was such a special person
Oh.. and my wife and I traveled together to see the whistle stop restaurant in Ga.
I was taking a picture when I heard this deep voice behind me that said " that´s going to be a great picture " wouldn´t you know, it was Del.
He made such a big impression on us and we will truly miss him.

I was so saddened to hear that Del had passed away! I had talked to him a few months back and had been thinking I needed to call him again. I´m sorry now that I didn´t make the call sooner.
Del, was always so kind, sweet & funny!! He always ended a phone call with "Keep Smiling!"
I will miss him saying those words!!
Bet he is smiling big in Heaven now!!

I had the pleasure of playing many fun gigs with Del. I first met him when I was stationed with the US Naval Academy Band in the late 1970´s. He was a wonderful musician and so very fun to work with. I will miss his playing and his sense of humor. Rest well Del and save me a place in the band.

Our condolences to Harriette, Kim,the boys & Eddie and Ernie Puschert. I can´t believe he´s gone. I just talked to him about the Elvis movie. He was reminiscing about the part with the Louisiana Hayride and Texarkana when he played with Elvis. He was looking forward to his 90th birthday. He was my only first cousin in the US and I will miss him greatly, love you forever CUZ.

Del was such a talented and jubilant person. He started as my father´s barber and then friend. My husband and I were lucky enough to have him play his saxophone, as part of the band at our wedding, 34 years ago. He was always willing to "perform" at a moment´s notice. He was the "star" of the show at my late father´s 80th Birthday Party. His joy for life and music was infectious. My family and I were blessed to have known him. We send our prayers of comfort to Harriette and his entire family.
