Del deeply loved and respected his wife and family always. He truly was a great humanitarian! Del's family would like to thank the compassionate support of Deaconess and Rockwood. In lieu of flowers donations may be made to Spokane Humane Society. He will be deeply missed! A funeral service will be held on Thursday, June 10, 2010 at 1 p.m. at Heritage Funeral Home.
