Retired Army Maj. Robert F. Delph, 94, of San Antonio, Texas, born April 16, 1912, in Sedalia, a son of Thomas H. and Claire Fisher Delph.
Mr. Delph was a premature baby. His chances of survival in the first years of his life were slim. His parents divorced when he was very young and he was raised by his grandparents, as well as his parents.
When he graduated from Smith-Cotton High School in 1929, the Depression changed his plans to attend college. He wanted to attend the University of Washington to learn aeronautical engineering. However, he stayed in Sedalia and helped his father run the small bus line and taxi service that he owned. He also worked in the railroad shops in Sedalia. He joined the Missouri National Guard and eventually ended up in the Army serving in Europe in World War II. He retired from the Army with the rank of major in 1963, after serving a combined 20 years in the Missouri National Guard, regular Army and active duty reserves.
After returning from Europe, he moved to San Antonio in 1947 to work for the Greyhound Corp. He retired from Greyhound, after 27 years of service in 1974. Almost every year he returned to Kansas City to visit his mother and to Sedalia to visit his three brothers.
He loved to read and he instilled that love of reading in his children. He read every day starting with the newspaper and ending before he went to sleep at night. He was known for having good work habits.
He helped his children build models and do school science projects. He loved taking things apart and rebuilding them. He restored and refinished old furniture, antique fire arms, as well as working on automobiles. After retirement, he traveled extensively around the world with his wife. They traveled to Europe, North Africa, Asia and the Pacific.
Surviving are his wife of 63 years, Sue Marie Cribb Delph, of the home; four children, Suzanne Delph Gordon, of Houston, Elizabeth Delph McJunkin, and her husband, James, of Wimberley, Robert F.
