Tony Paglia paid a visit to the Snow Cap Drive-In on Route 66 in Seligman, Ariz., the day after its longtime owner, Juan Delgadillo, died on June 2, 2004. Here’s a video Paglia made in tribute:
This is what he says about the video:
We visited the Snow Cap the day after its proprietor, Juan Delgadillo, passed away. He ran the place since 1953 and we had visited and enjoyed his prankster antics on our honeymoon in the summer of 1999.
The music is “Lullaby for DeVon Smith” by Paglia’s music project, The Orchid Pool. An Mp3 of the song is available here.
The Snow Cap lives on … Delgadillo’s family has taken up the mantle of serving up good food and lots of laughs.
I’m sure Juan, Bob Waldimire, and Lucille Hammons are having a good time cruising the Golden Highways in Heaven.
