They started a family and had two children when Delane received his Bachelor of Science degree in Biology from Hastings College. Following his graduation, Del worked at Central City High School where he taught Physics and Biology and coached all sports. In 1961, Del and Georgie moved to Omaha and had two more children.

He loved NE football and the Aurora Huskies. He prided himself with having all four of his children compete on a state championship team. In his free time, you could always find Del in the yard mowing or gardening. Delane had an infectious personality...Always the life of the party! He didn't know a stranger and would welcome anyone into his home!
