Darla, Denise and Tom, my heart goes out to you and your families. Delmar was such a character. He was always good to my mom and he and dad were forever pals. I saw him a few weeks ago and he did know me and ask about "Erbie". He could always make you laugh and I will forever remember him for it, as well as his and Della's birthday. Special set of twins! Love Allyne

Tough as Nails!! Best heart!! Stubborn!! Mean!! Loving!! Hard working!! You have held many titles but I called you Grandpa!! I'm kind of at a loss of words, You are one of the hardest working, loving caring man I knew, granted your love was tough love a lot of time, but you taught me so much in hard work, growing up with you and Get, I cherish the many memories I have, Summer was always a blast traveling with you and Get, spending time with Rick and Damon on the summers they spent with you. You Raised three of the Toughest most loving kids I know, Uncle Tom, Aunt Darla, and my Momma. We always knew if we needed anything you were a phone call away. Though we may hurt, and miss you, we will all carry your memories for ever, I love you grandpa, go be happy with get!

So many good memories....and what i would call adventures, because went somewhere Delmer it wasn't a trip it was an Adventure! Dallas before Christmas one year brings back so many thoughts..............Delmer you were one of a kind. They did "break the mold" when you were born. I can't image this world without your laugh and love for life. I sure glad I got to know you.
