Dad was called to service in WWII for the Army stationed in Sicily, Italy as part of the 85th Infantry. Dad served on the front lines for 6 months where he received two Bronze Stars.
After the War, he went to the state of Washington, met and married Grace Dzutsoff in Raymond. In 1965 the family moved to Grove, OK to be near family and familiar ground for Delmer. He was a man of many talents, who would take little and work with what he had. Many persons would questioned, ‘How did he do that”, that was Del. He was gifted in understanding when many would have a puzzled look about his knowledge. Del loved the Lord and made it known, “time is near for His coming”. One wish he had was to go as he lived, “simple”.
He was preceded in death by his wife of 66 years, Grace, his parents, and two sisters Bonnie Mestrovich and Sylvia Williams.
