Father Richard Piontkowski is the Celebrant. Burial is in West Lawn Cemetery with military honors provided by the United States Army and the Grand Island Veterans Honor Guard.

He grew up and received his education in Ashton. On May 28, 1953 Delphie entered the United States Army, serving during the Korean War. He was honorably discharged April 21, 1955. Following his discharge, he attended Kearney State College. On October 6, 1973 Delphie married Elizabeth Holste. They made their home in Grand Island. He was employed at the Ordinance Plant; however, the majority of his career was in sales. Delphie was proud to be part of the Korean Hero Flight in 2015. A member of St. Mary’s Cathedral and the Central Nebraska Antique Tractor & Equipment Club, Delphie was dubbed the official BB Gun Repairman for his coffee group. He immersed himself in music, striking up tunes on harmonica or guitar, and frequently took his wife’s hand to dance when their favorite songs filled the air. Delphie’s inquisitive nature kept him actively exploring new horizons at the dawn of each day. Those who will cherish Delphie’s memory include his wife of 46 years, Elizabeth; children, Alan Kosmicki, Michael Kosmicki of Grand Island, Devin (Sara) Kosmicki of Lincoln, Andrea (Dave) Hoarau of Jacksonville, FL, and Jennifer Kosmicki (Daniel Zebert) of Lincoln; nine grandchildren, Eric (Chelsey) Kosmicki, Cody (Krystal) Kosmicki, Cooper Kosmicki, Caiden Kosmicki, Maggie (Alex) Heimes, Sydney Novak, and Ezra, Aveline and Ellianna Hoarau; and six great-grandchildren.
