Hello, I am doing a research project on Mr. Delaney currently and in the mitts of my googling I saw that he had passed a short while ago. I would like to express my condolences to your family. He seemed like he was a great and brave man. I am proud to be doing a project about his time in the service during the second world war.

Dear Ann,Bill, Claire and Family,
Briana and I are very sorry for your loss. I would admire how Mr. Delaney participated with the Hamden Senior Fashion Show throughout the years. A good public servant and mentor to us all. May he rest in peace.

I did not finish my post. I am sorry to hear if Ken's passing. He was a good kind man. I have pleasant memories of brief visits with him when he was in the home of his son Kenneth. I'm sure his family will miss him. Dorothy, my thoughts are with you especially at this time. May God give you peace and love. Rosalind Soules
