Del was valued employee, a loyal union member, a union officer that took great pride in his union work. As the shop steward for the Part-time people He put his whole heart into his work. Many hours that I spent with Del and his personal contributions to the union officers..As we dismantled the part-time classification and wrote a new part of L.T.D./A.T.U. History, Del's input was such a valued part of that time. The contract was the first in the United States/Transit History that did away with that class of workers.
The Allred family has given so much of themselves to help our LTD/ATU Family and because of their selfless work, love and care, We have become better people, a better family, and will all ways be grateful.
Del always had his gentle way of saying goodly to me.....just before he would walk away---Del would reach out and touch me on my right shoulder---never say goodbye--just touch and walk away. AND SO THAT GENTLE MAN HAS TOUCHED US ALL AND NOW HAS WALKED AWAY.
I will remember you DEL---THANK YOU BROTHER
