My condolences to Del`s family.
I dealt with and saw Del pretty well every week for the last 25 years { at the wholesaler`s }.
He was a part of the Victoria landscape and will be missed.

My sincerest condolences to Del’s family. I worked with Del at Vic Coal until 2003 and came to know him a little better as he became my “chauffeur” to and from the bank to do the daily bank deposit. I’m not sure which of us was more pleased with this arrangement – me, because of the door to door service or Del, for the break from the tools! He was always respectful and considerate, a real gentleman, and helped make my work day a little easier and pleasant……..Thanks, Del……….Nola

This picture is such a perfect one showing who Delmar was. He was such a kind, gentle man. He was always ready to be there for people and lend a hand. He was always ready to smile and be a true friend. We were very blessed to be one of his neighbours. He will be very much missed.
Love Tiffany and Trent Hawkes
