Diane and I send our sincere and heartfelt condolences to Eileen and family.
Del was one of the most honorable, thoughtful and efficient person that I have worked with during my stay at the DMV.
His counsel, support, and advise to me was above and beyond the norm.
We will miss him.
God Bless

To the Cornell family,
I will always remember him for his patient, kind and considerate leadership, a man who put the welfare of the staff under his command first.
May he rest in peace. Our deepest sympathies at this hour.

From Guy and Diana Reynolds - Guy served with Del in the Motor Vehicle Department. I was a road-warrior with him in the Truck Inspection Program. He later became my boss and it was my privilege to serve beneath him. I went to Vietnam in 1965 when the 1st Air Cav went over, so, we had that 'Band of Brothers' thing going on also. Our prayers go out to all of the family and friends. Love to all, Guy and Diana

Eileen and the Cornell family I am so sorry to hear about Del's passing. He was one of the best and will be missed. He was especially good to me when I was going through some tough times and for that I will never forget him. He gave me the strength to keep things moving and I loved him for that. I was so happy when he found the perfect partner in you Eileen! I enjoyed seeing the two of you together. Thinking of you! Xoxo, Cindy

Dear Del,

From the time I watched you as a young man in military flight training, I knew you were meant to be a pilot and flying came so easy to you. You saved many young men in service to our Country and you did it with perfection and dedication. I was always proud of the man (Ghostrider 22) and always, I knew you were happiest of all up there in the skies. Now the sky is yours to soar and I hope you look down on all of us who loved you with your special smile. Faith is knowing we WILL be given WINGS to fly. You will forever be loved and missed. Pj

it was a great honor to know Del. My life was enriched with him being part of it. There are few people in this world you get to meet with the Heart of Del. We will all miss you, but I know your flying high and dropping in low, cruising slow and listening to sweet country music.
