We will greatly miss our friend and neighbour at the deer camp. Del always had great stories to tell while sipping a cold beer on the side deck. His unique laugh and skill to fix just about anything will always be remembered. Our deepest condolences to you Marilyn and Donald.

It is very sad to hear of the passing of Del. Many years at the deer camp in the summer and fall were so good of times to have shared with him. He always had a good joke and a great story to tell with lots of us laughing. Fun to have him sitting with you .Condolences to you Marilyn, Donald and close friends of Del.
