Joseph "Joe" Delano

I just heard of the sudden passing of Joe. I worked with Joe at LRMC years ago, he was a great mentor and friend. What earth has lost in body, heaven has gained in spirit. Rest my friend, see you in time.

I had the wonderful opportunity to meet my cousins Joe and Darcy several years ago on a trip to Florida. We shared a few stories and it was nice to finally meet them. May you always have wonderful memories of Joe and may God always comfort you and your family. Love, Susan

Thank you, everyone, for the kindness and love you've given Joe. It fills our hearts to know we weren't the only ones to truly know, love and appreciate Joe for his amazing spirit. There will never be another Joe. We are proud of him and we know he is facing his next life with the greatest enthusiasm. That is how he lived his life here and will there. We will miss him extraordinarily. Thank you for helping us celebrate his Joe-ness. We love him. There simply are no words to express how...

To a beloved friend and co-worker, I met Joe after my transfer to the Patient Focused Surgical Services Unit, he was the MASTER Scheduler and I was the receptionist, our offices were right next to eachother. We use to cut up and he would offer encouragement on those hectic days. I was shocked to hear of his sudden passing, my heart goes out to his family. My you rest knowing he is in the hands of our loving Father! He will be deeply missed at LRMC!

Old friends are the most special friends. That was Joe, a special friend with a wonderful family. He is missed!

Joe was one of the kindest individuals anyone could ever encounter. I worked with Joe for over 10 years, I always gave him allot of grief, but he always understood me. I am honored to have had the time with him. Joe is one of those special people you are lucky to know in your lifetime. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family.

I am so sorry to hear of your loss; my thoughts and prayers go out to the family. Joe was a great person and will be greatly missed.

My thoughts and prayers are with you. Joe was a wonderful person. I can't believe he is gone. I had the wonderful experience of working with Joe at LRMC.

Joe was one of my oldest friends. We are so sad to hear of his passing and the pain that that must bring you all. Take comfort knowing that he is now with your mother and that we will all see him again some day. God bless you all during this sad time.
