Born in Riverdale, North Dakota on March 30, 1953, Delor lived in Idaho and Wyoming before his father’s business brought the Baumann family to Hueytown in 1958. Hueytown has been home to Delor ever since, graduating in 1971 from Hueytown High School, where he was selected by the faculty as a Senior Standout, was a member of numerous choirs, the Pep Club and German Club, where he displayed his hidden talent of playing the accordion.

Delor married Jeanne Duncan in 1974 and has two daughters, Candace and Carla.

He worked as plant manager with Baumann Coatings before becoming president of the company after his father’s sudden death in September 2001.

Delor is also a member of the Hueytown Quarterback Club, helping with the Jefferson County Board of Education and other officials to help get Gilmore-Vines stadium looking good.
