Del was a faithful servant of the Lord and a blessing to many people as he served at North Freedom Baptist. He set a wonderful example of faithful service and his charm and joy will be missed. Till we meet again! 1 Thessalonians 5:10 (NIV84) He (Jesus) died for us so that, whether we are awake or asleep, we may live together with him.

My sincerest sympathies to all the family. Del and Gay were our bowling partners in couples league in the late 70’s and have been friends since. Del was a hard worker and he delivered milk to our family back in the day and he always had good words for all he knew. Truly one of God’s angels.
