So sorry for your loss. I haven't seen your Dad in several years, but when I think of him I can hear his very distinctive voice like he was sitting right here.

So sorry for your loss. I met Delmer a couple of years ago at Topeka. He came over to chat with me about Dan Larson, and the car I had recently purchased from him (Delmer's '85 Z28 Camaro). Great man! Great story's!

R.I.P. Champ. Prayers and sympathy for Joan, Tony, Paula, My lil Buddy Michael and the rest of his friends and Family. I enjoyed our time in Tulsa and was fortunate to learn from one of the best.

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.
