Great man and great family! Ken Dell is a strong family man and leader. He has wisdom and common sense that is lacking today. There is a lot of us with good memories of Ken Dell and his family here at Lake Texoma. We will miss seeing him until we get to Heaven with Jesus and be reunited with all our friends and family again!

I have fond memories of Ken Dell teaching and playing baseball when I was first learning how to play. I wound up batting left handed, as a right handed player. This caused a lot of my early coaches trying to move me to the right side of the plate. I got to visit with Ken Dell at the Mexican food restaurant a few years back. Prayers for all the family and Rest In Peace!

Mr. Ken, rest peacefully sir. You were a great man - Acts 24:15

So very saddened to learn of Ken Dell's passing. He was one of a kind in my lifetime, and although I hadn't seen him in many years, I already miss him. He was taken way too soon, and my prayers go out to the family. What a loss. mike brickey
