I am so sorry for your loss. *I really enjoyed Delbert.
Dear Walden Family, I remember Delbert coming to Columbus from MO in the 50″s to live with Harold and Carlene Lungren. My parents were Gilbert and Irene Hey, the owners of Triangle Mobile Home Park. I did not read The Republic until this morning Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers with fond memories of the Lungren’s and Delbert. Sincerely, Elizabeth (Hey) Harmon
