  1. Very sad to see the notice in the paper. Del, and my dad, Clem Ford, along with one other friend, Vale Baklund were three great fishing buddies. I have no doubt, the ” three amigos” are all fishing together, once again, in the great pond in the sky. Our condolences to all of the family.

  2. We were very sad to see Del’s obituary. Years ago we bought a big, old home & whenever we were ready for another room of carpet, we’d go see Del. When we were ready to graduate from ‘tenting’, we bought our first little travel trailer from Del. Then I (Kathy) use to get to wait on him / them when they would come in to eat at Hong Kong Garden. Always SO friendly, kind, & fun whenever we ran into him, we’d chat and ‘catch up’.Sending our love and sympathy to all of you,
    Kathy and Hank Poortinga
