Delmar had an inquisitive nature, always full of questions and eager to learn about electronics and technology. He even had a facebook page where he accidently posted selfies trying to figure out how this “online stuff’ worked. He loved hunting, fishing, and working in his garden. However, his greatest joy in life was spending time with his family.
