1 year agoDel will be greatly missed. I remember his playing softball with us on Wednesday nights followed by a meal and sometimes ice cream at Aggies. I remember his faithfulness to come and be a part of early morning prayers for years and years, showing up usually the first one there. I remember him going downtown and holding the sign “time to pray” at the corner of trade and Tryon and I rode down on my bike to join him. He was so encouraged that I came-it was only one time but I wish I would have gone more times. He was never daunted by numbers or lack of numbers, his main goal was to be faithful and to be obedient. I also remember how every Sunday after we came through the communion line Del would hold up his hand for all three of my boys to give them encouraging high 5’s as they walked past. His life was such a blessing and his legacy continues. All honor to our Maker and King. 💙💙
