Delbert was retired from Anchor Hocking and since then has enjoyed spending his winters in Florida with his brothers, daughter, son-in-law and nephews riding motorcycles, fishing, playing pranks and sharing his funny stories. There wasn’t a vehicle he couldn’t fix. And there wasn’t a person in need he wouldn’t offer assistance to. He was deeply cared for by every life he touched and he will be greatly missed.
