PAUL DELANEY Obituary

PAUL ANTHONY DELANEY With heavy hearts and profound sadness, the family announces the passing of Paul Anthony Delaney at Sunnybrook Hospital on Wednesday, May 21, 2014 in his 55th year. Beloved son of Catherine, loving and much loved husband of Gina, brother to Nicola, extremely proud and devoted father to sons Evan and Ryan, brother-in-law to Jonathan and uncle to Joely and Sabina. Born in Coventry, England Paul immigrated with his family to Canada at an early age, settling in Barrie, ON. Paul spent the formative years of his life excelling on the soccer pitch and ice rink, where only multiple knee operations could slow him down. Competitive instincts duly honed, an Economics degree at McMaster served as inspiration for Paul to earn his Chartered Financial Analyst designation and launch P. Delaney & Associates to advise clientele who always appreciated his measured advice, in good times or bad. Always ahead of the curve, Paul led his peers into home ownership followed by cottage life on Parry Island, where he pursued his summer passion - boating the waters of Georgian Bay. Many a night passed with Paul at the head of a table, transforming a simple story into an unforgettable tale. This was his true gift to us all. Visitation at Mount Pleasant Cemetery Visitation Centre, 375 Mt. Pleasant Rd., Monday, May 26th, 2-4 and 7-9 p.m. Funeral Mass: St. Anselm, Bessborough and Millwood Rds., Tuesday, May 27th, 10 a.m. Private burial to follow. Life Celebration: The Burnes, 40 Riverview Dr., 1 p.m. In lieu of flowers, donations in Paul's name to the Leaside Arena Expansion Project. (leasidearena.com) Online condolences welcomed: etouch.ca

Dear Gina and family,
I have just heard about Paul's passing today. I am so sorry. As you know Paul played an extremely important part in my son Charlie's role as both a soccer player and an ice hockey goaltender. I was fortunate enough to have Paul and yourself attend my 50th a few years ago and was hoping to see Paul soon. All our love and prayers to you and the boys. Love, Ian, Sharon, Georgina, Lucinda, Charlie, and Sophie Graham

Dearest Gina, Kay and Paul's much loved sons,
We cannot tell you what a shock it was to hear of Paul's passing. Having seen him at the celebration for Mary just a week previously, he looked great! Our family has been indebted to you and to Paul for the love, support and care you have offered Kim and family since Jim's untimely passing. He has been a gift and a truly special soul on this earth. His integrity, caring spirit and love for family and friends is a beautiful legacy. We truly are deeply saddened at his loss. I am sure Jim was there to greet him and that he is in great company and watching over you all. God bless you and grant you healing, comfort and peace. Bill and Gail oxoxox

Gina and family, Paul has been such a rock for the O'Hara family since my father died. He helped my mother with an openness and honesty that has carried through as we struggled with the loss of our mother. I think my brother John was perhaps his youngest client! I always loved talking to Paul. He loved you and his children, he was very proud and mentioned you in every conversation. We always talked about our shared love of Parry Sound. And he protected my family and our modest inheritance as if we were billionaires. He will be greatly missed.

Dear Gina,

Please accept my sincerest condolences on the loss of Paul, your dear husband and father to Ryan and Evan. I have so many happy and crazy memories of competing with Paul and all the other sailors in the annual Parry Island Regatta. Both cottagers and the avid sailors on the lake will miss him, as he was a remarkable man. He demonstrated a life of service, love, compassion and excellence. May he rest in peace. Grief can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope. Remembering you and your family and Paul today and always.

With our deepest sympathy,
