Dell was my colleague at the University of New Haven and I had the opportunity to mentor his teaching. He was a great teacher and he was always bubbling with enthusiasm and energy. I will miss the long chats we had after our classes. He was always very proud of his family and children. My heartful of sympathies and condolences to his family.

I think back to the time that we first really spoke, we were on our way to the beach. Up until then I had not realized that we had anything in common and what a nice pleasant person you were. Dell, you were there the fist time my daughter played in the sand and ran her little feet through the ocean. I will always remember that day. Whenever we go back to the beach and as I watch my daughter, summer after summer, play in the sand and start to swim in the ocean I will forever be reminded of the new friend I had the pleasure of making that day.
Our thoughts and prayers are with your family.

Dell's enthusiasm, optimism and his great, great laugh always made me smile when he entered a room. Know that the best of Dell lives on in all of us with whom he shared his Life so openly.
Over-riding my sadness are my many memories of Dell, which, even now, still make me smile every time I think of him.
