Delbert was in Bricklayers Local #7 with my dad, Lyle Click, for many years. I remember him from when I was a little girl, as daddy passed away years ago. Please accept my condolences on behalf of our Click family.

Dear Pam and all of Pop's family, We were so sad to hear of Pop's passing. I know it was a sad day for you all. What a sweet man he was! Pop was a tremendous help to us at Furniture Restrapping in Garden City, SC! We'll never forget him telling people he worked as a "stripper"!! Pop loved to have fun and joke around! We miss him! Love, Sam and all of us at Custom Outdoor Furniture & Restrapping

I only met Shorty once as best I can remember. He came over while my parents were out of the country at my grandmother's behest. Probably 1973. You see, I had managed to get a Jeep stuck on a powerline road accross from the Ashland Oil building (ears before much of the development that is now there). He did in fact help get me "unstuck" and for that I was grateful. My memory is one of a helpful and selfless man; he was a pair of helping hands when I needed a pair. Thank-you.
