The
armiger is the elected
Prothonotary of the Court
of Common Pleas of the
County of Berks,
Pennsylvania, U.S.A.
The Jerusalem Cross is
indicative of his strong
Catholic faith and the
stag's head is
representative of the clan
crest of the Keith Family
of Aberdeen, Scotland, of
which he and his late
mother, Rita Helen Keith,
both descend. The broom
flowers represent
humility, a trait the
armiger continually
strives for.
The crest and motto were
both originally created by
the armiger's late father,
George Thomas Del Collo,
who experimented in
heraldic art as a young
man. Both motto and crest
are indicative of the
armiger's original,
ancestral Italian surname
"Del Colle," which means
"of the Hill."
The lion rampant on the
mount vert expresses the
armiger's desire of always
striving to go, as his
motto states, "boldly to
the top" of the hill both
in this life and,
hopefully, eternally in
the next. |
