Delbert Teille Quotations

It's been fun, and it's been rough. But I feel pretty blessed and pretty fortunate, so I like to make other people happy.

When I was 13 I was diagnosed with malignant brain cancer. I spent 13 weeks in the hospital getting treatment, and my parents had to mortgage the house to pay for it. I spent Christmas in the hospital. When I got out my father had bought me my first Lionel train set, a model Union Pacific line.

There is something about these old people seeing Santa Claus that really cheers them up. This may be the last Christmas for some of them, so I try to give them a good time.

I like to play Santa Claus for people; I like to cheer people up.
