Delbert was born on May 4, 1934 to Thelma Mosher and Edwin Kroschel in Del Norte, Colorado. He attended elementary school in Del Norte until the family moved to Saguache, where he graduated the eighth grade.

Delbert worked one summer at Black Canyon Monument. He also worked a summer for Holy Cross Electric in Glenwood Springs, Colorado, digging holes for electric poles. In between summer jobs he tried farming on his folks adobe farm. He soon gave that up. After receiving notice that he would soon be drafted into the U.S. Army, Delbert decided to enlist and take advantage of the GI Bill when he returned home. He enlisted and was inducted on Jan. 21, 1955 and was discharged on Jan. 21, 1957 after serving one year in Korea as a pole lineman helping to restore telephone lines to that war torn country. He was proud to have served his country. Instead of taking advantage of the opportunity to go back to school, he met and married his life partner, Connie Louise Hicks, in a whirlwind courtship. They eloped and were married in Aztec, New Mexico, on July 14, 1957. Three sons were born to them: Glenn in 1958; Dean in 1962; and Jeff in 1963. Delbert worked in the saw mills and planer mills in Montrose and was a certified lumber grader for 36 years. After he retired they took their first vacation.
