Del, you were always the consummate gentleman, an adoring husband, doting father and grandfather, and an ambassador par excellence for the Kennedy Center as a volunteer at the Visitors Center. You delighted in delighting others, and you never failed to do so. You were always a joy to be around. We have so missed having you and Rae on our Friday night shift at the KC, and we will miss you all the more knowing now that it’s forever. Rest in peace, dear friend. Love, Janice
