To the Family of Robert Delmore,

Bob set an example of values that we should all aspire and created wonderful memories for three generations. Once a year, we knew that we could all count on Bob and Margaret to host the Whiz Bang Days parade party, right on the parade route. No doubt, the parade route, was a requirement for the location of their home on the lake. The annual parade and party were a summer ritual that Michael, Matthew, Sandy and I will never forget.

Anyone of us that had the privilege to know Bob, is better because of him.

With great love and admiration,

Tom, Sandy, Michael and Matthew Novitzki

Dan, Kathy, and Shelia
I am so very sorry for your loss. As you know your Mom and Dad were like second parents to me. They were both gentle and genuine. I will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers.

Mark and Jeff Dennis

Mark and Jeff Dennis from the O'Neill-Dennis and Pearce Funeral Homes in Upper Michigan are remembering you with special thoughts and prayers during this time. Dan was a class-mate of Mark's at the University of Minnesota and completed his Practicum in Mortuary Science under the guidance of Robert (and Margaret)Delmore. A nice couple and a lot of fond memories. Later, Mark's son Jeff worked at Delmore's while attending the UofM and had the privilege and assisting at a funeral with Mr. Delmore, and distinctly remembers driving him home from a cemetery in the hearse in a heavy rain storm.
