my condolences to Deloris and family, I remember as a child Delmar gave me his sailor hat after he returned from the Navy. I was tickled and wore it all the time .my girlfriends were jealous!!! He was an avid fisherman winter and summer. He never shared his secret for success but always had a good story. Im unable to attend the funeral because of recent surgery but my thoughts are with you. God Bless
