Sincere condolences to you, Joan and Tony. As I came to understand Delmer, I liked and admired him very much. I have very fond memories of Delmer, Dan Larson and me, standing in the staging lanes at Dallas, talking about nothing in particular. Now these two friends are gone. Delmer was a good man who will be missed.

I first met Delmer about 1991 when we both ran in SS/CS with early camaro's. We were at indy running for the class trophy that year and I had him covered by at least .15. Well when the race was over I out ran him but he had the class trophy! Great racer.
Sorry to hear this.

One of the great racers has gone home. Delmer will be missed by all who knew and admired his great presence. I know he is with his buddy Dan, riding his golf cart around the Big Drag Strip in the sky with the dogs in tow. The wonderful memories of being at the races with Delmer, are the gift he left all those who will truly miss him. God bless all of his family. Rest in peace my good friend.
