Del was a one of a kind individual. He was a farrier by trade, one of the best (he's been recognized nationally as), and we met when I was working as a stand-by medic at the various horse shows around Denver. We formed an instant bond, once he found out I was prior military, seeing as he served in SEA with the Army 5th Special Force's group, and later in Colorado with the 19th group, and when I found out he and MR2 knew each other, well .... the stories came out like crazy.
Quick with a joke or story, or as we called 'em "lies", he was never without a smile, or a helping hand. Oh, and he LOVED his bagpipes. He always had pipe music playing back by his truck during shows. I told him I always knew where he was located, because I could hear "cats screeching" from his area.
My thoughts and prayers are with Del's family and many friends.
He will be missed.
UNTIL VALHALLA !!!!
