Del passed away on February 25, 2017, surrounded by his family. He was 81 years old. The feeling of loss, even more profound, as Del's wife of 58 years and our mother, Jane, preceded him in death one month ago to the day. Del was born in Chicago, IL to Del and Agnes Blocher, April 11, 1935. He is survived by his five children, Del (Colleen), Chris, Diane (Paul Bischel), Cindy, Michael (Robin), his grandchildren, Connor, Emily, Natalie, and John, step grand-daughters Miranda and Marissa, great step grandchild, Nora, brother Allen, and sister Arlo (Robert Maloney), nephews, David (Carolyn), Gregg(Anne), and several great nephews and nieces. A private Mass of Christian burial was held on March 11, 2017 at St. Thomas More Church with private interment at Saint John-Saint Joseph Cemetery in Hammond, IN.
