We lived across the street from the Delano's in the Berryessa area. I'm sadden to hear of Carl's loss. We had the highest respect for the Delano's because they simply were the best. Carl was always the first to say hello with a friendly wave. The neighborhood will never be the same. We hope his family finds solace at this difficult time. We will miss him. Sincerely, The Medina's

We lived across the street from the Delano's we remember growing up in the neighborhood and Mr & Mrs Delano always so nice to us. My father had the highest respect for the Delano's because they simply were the best. We will miss Carl. He was always the first to say hello with a friendly wave. The neighborhood will never be the same. I hope his family will find solace at this difficult time.
