My first husband, Johnny, and Del were in France together during their stint in the Army. Del visited us frequently, and was a really good friend. I was in France with Johnny. I was expecting my first child, now 46, at that time, and he gave me the cutest blanket. I have never forgotten him, and thought about him when Johnny died, in 1978 at age 39. I never knew how to get in touch with him, but that was before computers. Johnny and I both thought the world of Del, and spent many hours with him while we were all in France. I am very sorry for his family's loss, and was so sad to see that he had passed. Posted by Peggy Pitts Hall July 27, 2010
