Delmar was my oldest brother and 10 years older than me. What I remember about him when he was younger was he was particular about how he looked. Someone once said he could walk down a muddy road and not have a speck of mud on him or his shoes when he got to the end. When he and Mary Jane would come back to Missouri on vacation, they loved to go to a restaurant called Steve’s that has the best all-you-can-eat fried chicken with all the trimmings, including ice cream. Another one of his favorites from Missouri was Burger’s country ham. He is at peace now and not in pain and in a good place. Maybe he’ll see Mom and Dad, his brother Larry, and his sister Beverly. Wouldn’t that be great! Love and prayers to all of his family and may God bless you all.
