He was 95 years old. Delno was also the grandson of Elmer and Amanda Barber, early settlers of the town of Barbers Hill. As a young man, he was a rice farmer for several years but his true passion was livestock. He spent most of his life as a rancher, raising cattle and other livestock.

He was a Christian and served the Lord as a deacon in the Baptist Church. He also taught Sunday school for many years.
