Not sure what to say?

We send our prayers for your father as he rejoices in heaven. May the strength, direction and love he willingly gave throughout his life always be remembered.

In our 20th year at 1979 Harlem Blvd, folks still say the Delany house. Such are the memories and ongoing affection.

Deepest sympathies to your family. Thinking of you Julie!

I am so sorry to hear of Michael's passing. I pray that God will comfort his family in their time of need. I knew Michael when he was at Atwood Mobile Products as I had worked there also from July 1974 to December 2014. I honor his time in the navy in World War II in the Pacific theatre. My dad served in the Army Airborne in the ground crew for the B17's in England during the World War II. May God greatly comfort Michael's family and God may bless them all.

Colleen and Family: John and Myrna Borling regret we were out of town during visitation yesterday and for the service earlier today.

We continue to benefit from a Delany legacy at 1979 and are truly saddened by your loss. Words have little meaning at such times but the adage to keep marchin' always comes to mind as the only resort. Special good wishes to you and all your family.

My condolences to the entire Delany family. Mr Delaney was a constant in my life growing up in the Harlem Blvd neighborhood. He has left quite legacy that will continue to grow.

Take care!

To the Delaney family and friends...
I never knew Mr. Delaney, but if his son Dan, is a reflection of his father, then his father must have been a wonderful man. Rest in peace.
Marie, Bill and Angelina Gillette

Sincere condolences to Colleen and the Delany family.
