We were neighbors in Madison during the Summer for over thirty years. Had many a good tennis match, sailing against him in Lightnings and certainly numerous drinks on our porches. He and Sis were always ready to help when needed and his family participated as well. Good times must come to an end, but the memories will never fade. Best to all his family. Best from Bonnie & Jeff Gurnham, Hilton Head Island (and years in Vero Beach with our boat).

Ladd Family,
So sorry to hear about Del passing away. Both your Mom and Dad have been family friends with my family since I was born and will be missed by thousands. My times in Madison and at Westminster are filled with wonderful memories of Del and Sis. I always enjoyed my conversations with Del as they were always very straight forward and to the point. If he had something to say he would say it good or bad. Del's smile and enthusiasm is something I will never forget. Your Mom and Dad are now back together looking down on us all with Love and Peace.

Our prayers and thoughts to the entire Ladd Family
Bob and Marcia Bristow
