He was born January 30, 1933, in Milford, Michigan, the son of Harold and Malinda (Martin) Richmond.
Delos worked for Dupont as a mechanic, retiring in 1985. After retirement he fulfilled his life dream; building golf courses: Belleview in Atchison and Village Greens in Ozawkie.

He loved fishing, playing guitar, and building model ships and airplanes. Above all else he loved spending time with family. He loved to play football in the front yard with his kids, and enjoyed playing the harmonica.
