What can we say about Del?  He's almost always there every time we need a hand or two to knock down a mobile home, build a floor for a float, lift spools for decorations and bringing in the sand buckets for a grand party with a purpose.  Del has been Kent's number one construction supervisor, laborer and all around gopher. He has been a consistent assistant to Kim with the merchandise tubs full of Panama City Parrot Head Club T-shirts, flags and koozies.  The Panama City Parrot Head Club has had a great contributor to its projects and over all PHun with Del around.  

Quick with a smile, Del has been instrumental in building not only our Mardi Gras float but the stages for Rendezvous' bands.  He's never minded doing more than his fair share of the physical work load of the club to make raffles to raise money for our charities more successful and fun. From bringing in the booty, to setting up the tables and "hawking" the tickets, Del's the man with the plan. 

Born in St. Augustine, Florida as a military "brat" Del moved all around until he landed here in Panama City, FL. This is where he took up roost and stayed graduating from Rutherford High School in 1978. Del has dug his Parrot Head Claws into the community and serves on the Board of Toys for Kids in which he also takes a very active role.  

In his spare time, he likes to play percussion instruments, collects hats of all kinds and wears them frequently.  Little known fact, Del has another favorite singer of which he collects memorabilia.  Care to venture a guess?  Does Memphis sound familiar.  Yep, you guessed it, our Del is an ELVIS fan.  Guess one of his favorite Buffett tunes must be, "Elvis Pressley Blues," from the Take the Weather With You CD. 

Next time you see Del, pat him on the back for a job well done and thank him for being one of our most active working members.    

We couldn't do without you Del, Many Thanks.
