Very good friend since 1947 till his death Joe marinelli

My very best friend ever and all his brothers love them all we went to hunter school together since 1947

Our condolences to the family

My wife and I will always cherish his memory  he was the greatest neighbor always made sure everyone around him was ok whenever they needed a hand the  long talks or just helping him fix something and just hanging out with the block Captain as we would call him. RIP MY FRIEND

I am so sorry about your dad passing away. He loved you girls and always wanted the best for you. I enjoyed seeing him at the reunions and talking to him. He was a great person and he’ll be missed. Heaven gained another Angel. You will see him again. He’s dancing with Jesus, aunt Barbara your mom Shirley and my mom Marlene. I love you all. Stay strong. May the Lord comfort you with his peace and love during this difficult time. 

Your cousin Michele 

Uncle Del, one of the many characters I met marrying into the family! You went from relative to friend over the course of time. There was always a straight forward honesty and attitude from you- a 'this is who I am,' attitude, with no pretense. It was a disarming and endearing quality that most would do well to emulate. You did it very well. The Lord bless you and keep you and protect you.

Proud to call you my friend, Jim Willis

I am blessed to have you as my father.  There are so many good memories I will cherish forever.  Last year about this time you were by my side and I am so ever grateful.  I know it pained you to see me in the hospital, but you came to see me everyday and we talked so much about so many things.  I loved you then, now, and forever.  This is not going to be easy Dad but it is the cycle of life, just as we talked.  You are now my Guardian  Angel.  Sephora misses you too and watching those Cowboy movies with you. 

Sending sincere condolences and prayers to Dels family. You were a truly wonderful neighbor to us for 16 years and became a dear friend. You and Jerry were like brothers. We will miss you so much and loved you more than you know. You were a truly good man. Love you Jerry & Jeanette Holly. 

Uncle Del was a sweet, sweet guy. Always had a smile on his face and a great laugh. Love to you all!

MY UNCLE AND, FRIEND, DEL IS A TRUE FRIEND  AND FAMILY IM GOING TO MISS YOU UNCLE DEL

It's been many years since Unle Del's brother Jerry died. He was my step-father. I remember the kindness from UncleDel and Aunt Shirley at that time. My brother John was only 9 months old. Until then I was an only child-you can't imagine the wonder of finding such a large and loving family as the Albers .  Cathy and Tracy were little girls,around 5. And yes I babysat for Kim and Ralph. When my mom Mary Lou was dating Jerry I played canasta with grandma,uncle Chuck and uncle Ron. And Uncle Ron I remember going to your high school football games at St. Ambrose!  With fond memories of the family all my love Autumn

My grandpa was the strongest man i’ll ever know! He taught me so much and i will never forget all those lessons. 

I am so blessed to have had him as my dad.  He was always there for me when I needed him and he taught me so much.  He always had a story and some funny saying to share.   He will never be forgotten. Love ya dad 

Grandpa was a light in so many people’s lives and a bright one in ours. So grateful he got to be Great-Grandpa to Lucy and Everly.  He sure loved those girls and vice versa. The girls are blessed  to have known such a great man

I met Papa Del along with the First Hell’s Our Home Riders when I worked at Eastwood Cafe where Hell’s Our Home held their meetings. 

Del and Shirley were wonderful people and now are riding with Lyle, Ray, Hard Luck, Hank, Holbrook, Duhame, Harvey, Smiley and many others who have gone before. 

Gone from this earth, but never forgotten 



One of the OG Albers. Will be missed, but always remembered.   Mel III

Del and Shirley were great friends of my parents. I bet they’re having a huge celebration being all together again. Such a kind man  

My condolences goes out to Cathy and her family. I am praying for you all strength. I am so sorry for your loss.  Cynthia Smith
