Dell was a beloved husband, brother, father, grandfather, and friend who loved his family, friends, faith, and most of all…….he loved his own jokes. With a no-holding-back, tell-it-like-it-is approach, Dad seemed to win us all over with his charm and stunningly good looks. He never met a stranger, he never let anyone go without, and his kind gentle soul made everyone around him feel welcomed.
Our dad found great comfort in his faith and love for Jesus Christ. This was something that was instilled in him at an early age by his loving mother and something he passed down to all of us children.
You will never meet a harder working man than our daddy - dawn until dusk, seven days a week, holidays, and vacations! Dad found great pride in providing for his family. He was also quick to remind us all that he was the best looking guy in the room.
“Don’t worry Daddy, you still are.”
To know our dad was everything! To love our dad was even more!!
