Rest in peace to one of the wonderful men i ever knew. You were my Pa Durbin. You and “Ma” were always so kind and loving to this teenage girl that showed up with Jeanne. I had so many nice talks with the two of you. You were a great man. My love and condolences to thevwhole family.
James M Nantell says:
Our Uncle Del was such a warm, patient, and loving man and a wonderful friend to his brother-in-law, our father Wally Nantell. We have fond memories of sleeping over at the Dorbins house on many new year’s evenings. I remember when Uncle Del would drop off Micheal and Kathy to spend a few summer vacation days with us in Waukesha. But my best memory is when we were in college and Uncle Del and Aunt Mert brought all grown-up Durbin girls to my sister’s wedding and my twin and I were so impressed with how beautiful they all were.
My heartfelt condolences to all of the Durbin cousins. I am sorry that my Saint Vincent de Paul work in Sonoma County on January 23rd prevent me from attending the funeral. I had really hoped to attend as a chance to see you all.
Love to all
Jim Nantell
