Sorry to hear this. Met him when I was "knee high to a grasshopper". Good man! Condolences for his freinds and his family.

Del was a good and longtime friend. He was there at the start of bluetick breeding here in Michigan and had a lot of knowledge about the early hounds that started it all here in this state. He was a historian of the breed and bestowed upon me a treasure trove through his collection of stories and information from the early days of blueticks and the breeders/hunters behind these great hounds...
