GIVENS, Delbert Leo - At Albright Centre, Beamsville on Monday, August 28, 2006, in his 83rd year, after a brief illness and surrounded by his loving family. Dear husband of Dorothy (Jeffery) and much loved father of Beverly and Ray Audet, Tom and Linda Givens and Pat and Louise Givens. Devoted grandfather of Kate (Rob) Colacelli, Marie (Ken) Hildreth and Vanessa Givens and his special gift great granddaughter Ava Colacelli.
