Delbert was my uncle. A more wonderful man you could not have met in your lifetime. One of my favorite memories were picnics at his house in the summer. He tied Juicy Fruit gum to one of his trees. I’m not sure how old I was before I realized he didn’t really have a gum tree! I’ll miss his hugs and is booming laugh. I’ll love you always.
