Joseph Patrick DELANEY

We are planning for our Cretin `72 50th reunion for September 2022. Joe is on our minds and he will be with us.

Joes passing was a big reason we held a 45th Cretin class of 1972 reunion rather than waiting for the typical 50th.
Many of us shared our memories of our times together with Joe at Cretin and beyond.
Great guy-great memories!

The Fabel family is so sorry for your loss of your Joe.

So sorry for your loss! I knew Joe many years ago, when I was working and living in Saint Paul. I brought good memories with me back to Denmark!

From walking to first grade together, going to Cub Scout meetings where our mom's were the Den Leaders, scaling the bridges on the Mississippi River, swimming at Nokomis, hanging out at Bridgeman's (BridgeO's), hopping the buses behind Groveland, playing football and finally beating St. Mark's, watching you in the play Fiddler on the Roof at Cretin, and finally to Wally World--- thanks for the great memories Joe. I can't believe you are gone...I didn't know you were sick or I would have been...

Sorry for your loss. I met Joe about 2 years ago through his long time friend Bob. Joe was fun to visit with, he had a big heart for his friends, a very nice man...glad to have known him!

Our friend, Joe "Wire" Delaney, had the best yearbook statement I ever read, "ambition is to salt pretzels for the Rold Gold Company"! I don't know if he achieved that ambition but I know I am heading to the store to buy a bag of Rold Gold Pretzels and a six pack to toast him!!

Dear Sue, I am so saddened to read of your son's death. It's not fair, is it to bury our children before us. Please know I will keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers.
Blessings Jan Alexander

Joe defined the word class. He made me laugh for years and today he made me cry. RIP Joe - I love you man.
