My family’s deepest condolences go out to my Aunt Gloria and my cousins D.B. Rocky and Brandis your spouses and all your children, you lost an amazing husband father and grandfather, love you all so much!.……My uncle Delmar was the point of convergence in our family gatherings. I believe it was his ability to make you laugh or maybe his special craft of storytelling that would inevitably make you laugh,..not just a regular kinda of laugh, but one from that place deep in your belly that made you sore the next day. Even more amazing was his genuineness when it came to making you feel like you’re the only person that matters in a conversation. And yet sometimes he could make you the point of interest in any conversation, and I mean that facetiously. Hilarious!!! I will miss you terribly uncle Delmar, the gatherings will be quieter and less enjoyable and the memories of hunting, watching football, boxing and Easter’s at Canyon Lake where the volleyball games were epic and to be remembered by any and all who knew, …will be flowing fresh through my mind. And if I could one last time,..I would drive my Hot Wheels over your face to wake you up so you could take me to my bus stop, again! Love you and will always appreciate the best uncle I ever had!!

Delmar was our brother-in-law whom we grew to love like a brother. When playing dominos or cards we always had a good time, laughing, drinking and yes even dancing at times. He and I grew up with similar backgrounds on country living. Hard working families, some hard luck but never giving up. Always pushing forward towards a better life for our families. Our sincere condolences go out to all his family.

We were lucky enough to have Delmar in our family for 50plus years. Memories are too many to enter in this small space, but his smile, his quick wit , his laughter blessed us always. Ours was a group of dancers, camping, athletics but most of all of family and Delmar was ONE of a kind. We will truly miss him, but are BLESSED with many memories to sustain us and hopefully also his children and his loving wife, my sister, Gloria. God Bless

My deepest condolences to your family. Delmar made a big impact on my life and those of our children and his grandchildren. He was blessed with such a great sense of humor and a one of a kind laugh. Thank you for accepting me into your family and making all of our kids who lived out of state always feel remembered and close in spirit. Your memory will live on forever through all of us and through your blood in your grandchildren. I like to think it is not goodbye, it is until we see you again. With love, Bryan and family.
