So sorry to hear the passing of Pastor Del. A true great man, who was everything he preached about. He had such a great loving family. I'll always cherish my times in the '80s with him and Calvary Open Bible Church. I still reminiscence about those days, some of the best days of my life. He'll be missed by all of us

Del and Joan were my Pastor's when I attended Calvary Open Bible Church in the 80's. My son, Benjamin was dedicated there. I so loved Del and Joan, and their sons, as well as my church family there. They were such gifted pastors! He is now in the Heavenly realms, and with Our Lord who proclaimed at his arrival, "well done, my good and faithful servant!"

I miss Del. Working with him was always a treat for me. His kindness, compassion and wry sense of humor were so welcome during our time together. Rest in peace Del

Example, Leader, Preacher, teacher, mentor and for the last 17 or so years advisor, church mate and friend. He always had a front row seat where he belonged. He had ready smile and kind word for everyone. Remember the past and cherish your memories. We will of Del.
