I have so many happy memories with my Uncle Del – “Patio Daddio” back in the day. Uncle Del opened his heart and his family to me when tragedy struck our family. He was a big man, with a big heart, who lived big. Salesman, sportsman, family man, builder. Uncle Del had a great sense of humor and led by example while making everyone around him laugh. We enjoyed many travels in the family station wagon. My partner Kirk even enjoyed being “skunked” by Del in Manitoba. He always had a great story to tell. Frail, and 90, but still sharp, he made all of us laugh at his birthday this fall. I hope he’s up there right now, catching that fur-bearing fish in the sky. Huge sympathy and hugs to Mary, Kristin, David, John Tyler, Vincent, Sarah, John and Randi. Uncle Del will be missed.
