He was a member of Northwood Baptist Church, serving on several committees and was a trustee for many years. He was a proud United States Air Force Veteran, dedicating over 20 years of faithful service to his country.

Dell also spent 10 years as the owner of Halls Auto Sales, where he enjoyed buying and selling cars. He was an avid and devoted Gamecock Fan, attending as many games as he could while he was able. Dell enjoyed his quiet time as well. He enjoyed watching the geese on his property by the lake. Dell was a caring and devoted husband, as well as a loving father and grandfather. He always kept photos of his family not only in his wallet, but in frames when he traveled. Dell most loved times with his family. Whether it was Christmas, Thanksgiving, birthdays, or the yearly family reunions in Mt. Airy, NC, he cherished those times. He will be greatly missed by his family and many friends.
