U.S. Army.¹ R. Lawrence DelGado was an Engraver- A.O. Smith Company. On Thursday, Aug. 9, 2012, R. Lawrence Delgado left this Earth to join his loving wife, Betty, and to live with God in Heaven. He lived with his son and daughter-in-law on King's Bay waterfront for the last seven years.

He joined the U.S. Army and served a complete tour in China-Burma-India, with honors received. He was active with his buddies, and carried the flag at their meetings until a few years ago.

Mr. Delgado was an engraver with A.O. Smith for 40 years in Illinois. He was active in Central Christian Church there, also served as a deacon; in PTA meetings at his children's school; Cub Scouts, Boy Scout leader and Rainbow Council member.
