I first met Dell in Mesquite, Nevada, shortly after he lost his wife. We sat together while playing Bingo. Most days we played at least two sessions. Dell was a delightful gentleman. We joked and teased with each other over the years. My other friends, Sharon, Wayne and Carolee always sat together and shared our stories. I truly enjoyed my interaction with Dell and I miss him a lot. He always showed concern for me and my husband. I wish I could attend the memorial but that is not something that is possible. My prayers are with his family.
