Obituary for Delphos Lee Ettleman
In Loving Memory of Delphos Lee Ettleman (known as Lee)
Born: April 26, 1933 Died: November 20, 2007
Lee was an extraordinary machinist by trade, earning an Emmy and a Golden Globe award while performing his machinist's magic in the post production world. Early in his life he owned a surf /scuba diving shop and boat excursion business. He was a motorcycle and car enthusiast. He had a life full of many interesting experiences but the experiences that he treasured most were that of a son, father, and husband. He had many impressive accomplishments throughout his life but what mattered most to him were the relationships that he had with his family. Lee was a good and decent man who will be deeply missed by all who loved him.
