On May 4, 1938 Del was united in marriage to Margery Watts at Grand Island, NE. The couple resided in Ansley where he was employed with his father in the oil business. The couple also lived in Lincoln and Grand Island before moving to Ogallala in 1989. They celebrated their 70th wedding anniversary last May.
