Delbert served our country in the United States Army. He was a truck driver for over 50 years and this allowed him to travel. Delbert was a true outdoorsman and thoroughly enjoyed spending quality time in nature. He was an avid hunter who loved duck hunting, fishing, and just being outside listening to the birds. He would also enjoy his time on the water and would go boating as often as possible. His favorite thing to do was spending quality time with his family. Above all else, he adored and loved his family the most and he will be deeply missed by them.
