My name is Les Howell and I was a student at Coronado Jr. High.  I transferred there from Columbia mo.  Mr.Delich took a special interest in me and protected me from a number of gangs at Coronado that constantly were harassing me.  He use to draw comical pictures with joke lines written on them and hand them to me during class.  He made it known to various individuals that nothing was to happen to me.  I think he may have saved me.  I'm 71 now.

He was a great teacher. Junior High is a tough time. He made it better

Mr. Delich was my absolute favorite teacher in my life.  I had him for Civics in 7th grade at Coronado Jr. High.   I was pretty high strung, but with his sense of humor and patience, Civics became my favorite class ever.  My sincere prayers for his family, as I know what a special man he was.  RIP Mr. Delich.

Dear Craig,
We were saddened to learn of your brother 
David's passing. Please accept our sincere condolences. Our prayers are with you.
Sincerely,
Kathy and Terry Archer

With my sympathy to Dave's family, I have always considered him as a permanent fixture in the loose confederation of military collectors. I always considered him as preeminent in our field. It will be very strange to continue without a constant reference to his success. I have already heard from fellow collectors who have expressed their sorrow at his passing, and I remind them that we are all destined to go on to a greater reality. The Germans have a saying "Zum Grosse Armee abgerufen" or "called to the great Army.." With my regards,

I was sorry to hear of David’s passing. He was an outstanding teacher and a great asset to the Washington High School faculty. While at Washington I observed several of David’s classes. He was  always prepared and he actively engaged his students in the learning process. I send condolences to his family and friends, God bless David’s soul and May he Rest In Peace .

I loved talking to Dave at our film club meetings. Such a nice man. He will be missed.


I was deeply saddened to hear of Dave's passing. He was a fountain of knowledge and always more than happy to share his encyclopedic expertise. His loss is a great blow to the WWII collecting world, and he will be sorely missed.


As a retired teacher and military history enthusiast I extent my heartfelt condolences to his family.  Dave's name has been well-known reaching back into the early days of collecting and I appreciate his helpful advice extending back almost 55 years.  May he rest in eternal peace and his family know his influence on students and collectors will live on as a fine example of a life of thoughtful help and concern for others.  He will be missed.

Mr. Delich was my favorite teacher in all my years in public school.   He was very organized and had a heart for his students.   In 1975 I married my best friend and Mr.  Delich made a point to attend our wedding.  We will be married 47 years this July.  Prayers to the family.  

Dave was such a gentleman.  He had great hair, wore fashionable clothes, had a wonderful sense of humour, and a beautiful smile.
He will be missed 

David Delich was my teacher for more than fifty years. We forged a wonderful friendship in the last twenty or so years, where our questions and answers about war in Europe and our collections became a real source of joy.  David Delich shared always from his rich and sublime knowledge for the betterment of thousands of interested persons. His good humor and graciousness were always exemplary.  I shall miss him greatly and anything I can do to perfect his memory is a worthy goal.  To his family go our deepest
condolences and heartfelt sympathy.  DA
