Delmar was born on January 12, 1934 in Linwood, Nebraska to Jaroslav and Marie Kracman and passed away Wednesday, November 3, 2021 in Shreveport, Louisiana.
While serving our country in the United States Navy, Delmar met the love of his life. They were married and made their home in Shreveport, Louisiana, where they raised four beautiful children. Dale was a master diesel mechanic retiring from Ryder Truck Rental after 25 years. After working for Shreveport Ford Tractor, he ran his own business maintaining farm equipment for individual customers until Alzheimer's disease forced his final retirement. A huge NASCAR fan for several years, he and his son, Kevin, enjoyed building and racing stock cars at local race tracks. (#11)
