My condolences to Dr. Delp’s family. I worked for him and Dr. Campbell, starting in the Old Berwick Road office and stayed with them when they joined Geisinger. Dr. Delp actually hired me and was a very kind man. He used to tell us stories of his growing up years and I remember a rubber band gun being shot at me in the front office one time, he had a good sense of humor. I’ve retired to the Lewis, DE area and am enjoying the beauty of this area as I’m sure he did with his wife. Rest In Peace Dr. Delp.

Uncle Dick, I will always have the fondest and most loving memories of vacations in Lewes and Bloomsburg. You have given me a lot of advice and helped me throughout life more than you ever knew. I wish I had made time to see you and Aunt Mary these last few years, but w raising kids it was so hard. I loved you, appreciated you, and will miss you.

I had the honor of working with Dick at the Bloomsburg office. Dick was a role model, mentor and friend. Dick was the ultimate Family Doctor and was always a gentle man to his patients and staff. I always have to laugh when Geisinger gave us the option of learning the computer or leaving and Dick decided it was time to retire. Dick and Ernie Campbell had used small 5x7 cards for their patient records for years. I will miss Dick's kind words and his dry humor.

With heavy hearts we would like to express our sympathies to Mary and the entire Delp family. Dr. Delp was a much loved member of our group of friends "The Beach Gang". We have fond memories of our gatherings over the past couple decades, and we will miss his wonderful sense of humor. We often turned to Dick for sage advice. We admired his many accomplishments including his musical and woodworking talents. He was a devoted family man and a much loved friend. Lewes DE will not be the same without him.

Following Dr. C Perry Cleavers retirement. we adopted Dr. Delp as our family physician. He Doctored all of us. James, Jeanne, Jeffrey, and Jay With his amiable, friendly, compassionate, and warm 'bedside' manner he allayed many a worry and eased my parents concerns for their children.
His comportment and temperament was second to none, always ready with his humor to help ease the tension in a sick-room as he flashed that winning smile. He is GREATLY missed. Thank God for Doctors like Richard U. Delp. Definitively a credit to his profession. With all attendant love and respect, We remain, the Roberts's

I was sorry to hear of Dr. Delp's passing. He and Dr. Campbell were my doctors since I was born in 1971 until the times of their retirement. I was never afraid of going to the doctor when I went to see them in their little office on Old Berwick Road. I remember the zebra skin on the wall, Nurse Baker in her white uniform and hat, and the Monday's Child poem in the exam room. Dr. Delp was always kind and funny and helped me to feel better. He used to look in my ears and say he saw bunny rabbits in there. He was a great doctor.

May you look to God for comfort and peace during this sad time.

would like to extend my sympathies to Mary and the rest of the family.
Dick became our family doc shortly after he arrived to Bloomsburg.
my Mother was one of his greatest fans and he cared for her on
many occasions. Dick's knowledge and care was one of the major
reasons i became a physician. i have a picture of Dick with 12 premedical
students that i display prominently on my office desk. i had the chance
to mention that to Dick in a phone conversation several years ago and
was surprised that he also had a copy of that photo from the Morning Press
from 1973. he was always a class act and his Bloomsburg community misses him
