They had a very active life together, moving frequently around the country following Del’s many corporate promotions and entrepreneurial interests. Del’s professional pursuits ranged from the president of manufacturing plants to running his ranch and owning and operating a trucking company and their commercial property in Southern California. Although he had many successful business endeavors, none compared to his amazing partnership with his wife, Pat Stacy.
