By CHRIS SMITH | The Press Democrat | Published: April 18, 2021 HEALDSBURG, Calif. (Tribune News Service) Even among revered members of the North Bay s vastly diminished corps of World War II combat veterans, Del Tiedeman of Healdsburg stood out with his simple elegance and his kind nature and palpable gratitude for life to his many young comrades in uniform who sacrificed all. Tiedeman died Thursday, about three weeks after he fractured a shoulder in a fall. The long-retired propane industry executive turned 100 last June and beamed all through a birthday salute in Healdsburg that boasted a full-blown, pandemic-era parade and a flyover by a restored WWII-era aircraft.
