I was just thinking of calling Del this holiday season. He used to be the one to call me, so I figured this time I would call him.

We met and shared our time together at AG Aviation Academy in Reno.
We kept in contact occasionally over the years.

The last time we talked, probably six months ago, he informed me had had a stroke. I assumed it was more recent than 2001.

He worked hard to obtain the funds to pay for his flight training. First pumping gas at a local station at night, then moving on to busing tables at a casino in Sparks, Nevada at night.

I have fond memories of our friendship. I have a deep respect for the fact that he helped raise and educate his stepchildren.

Rest in peace Del.

Dear Hazel and family,
I was so sorry to learn of Del's death. He and you were so welcoming and kind to our little girl crew when we were at Holy Trinity. We were a big, busy, combined family at Holy Trinity, sharing so many ways of service to the church and the community. I know Del will be missed. Scott still remembers the adventures of Del providing a parking lot .... and I appreciated not going to church without muddy shoes..... ❤️

In honor of Delbert Finup! When i was first introduced in the family it wasn't long before i noticed there were a lot of love in the family. Del loved his horses. He would go down by the horses and make sounds with his mouth and clap his hands. The horses would get excited and prance a little. I went to my one and only horse race with the family. Del had a horse in the race. HE TOOK FIRST PLACE!! We all got to have our pitcher taken with the horse and jockey. We all had a good time, thank you Del. He liked to fly, that's probably why he became an arial applicator. He is flying higher than he ever did now. Del, Hazle is getting a lot of prayers. Del you will be missed
