William D. Delahunt

Bill and I met when we were in our early 20´s. Boyfriend and girlfriend but we then went our separate ways both becoming lawyers. Me on the West Coast. We reconnected about 4 years ago catching up on each other´s lives. A wonderful man. My sympathies to his children, grandchildren , fiancée and mother of his children. He spoke lovingly about all of you. Amalia (Molly) Attruia-Hartwell.

I first met Representative Bill Delahunt during the gubernatorial campaign of Mike Dukakis in 1973/4 and subsequenlty after the election while in the State House. In addition to his accomplishments in his many roles, he was a kind, supportive colleague, who always smiled. I am saddened by his passing, yet fond memories will remain throughout my life. My condolences to the family.

Uncle Billy"s smile and warmth lit up a room. I have fond memories of him showing me around Capitol Hill when I was lobbying for the Hotel Industry with American Express. It was a grand business trip memory. My dad admired him

Bill was a great neighbor at the Quincy School (Newbury Place Condominiums) for twenty-five years, with whom I formed a wonderful friendship. He was my competitive work-out buddy at Planet Fitness (although he spent more time reading the newspaper and socializing than he did exercising). He always wore a smile, shared a joke and was quick to offer advice on just about any subject matter. A man of class, grace and dignity, Bill didn't make a fuss when my Chihuahua one day bit his ankle....

Because of Rep. Delahunt's hard work on the Child Citizenship Act of 2000, our adopted sons automatically became US citizens when they woke up on February 27, 2001. We will always be grateful to you for that law. May Our Risen Lord give you eternal joy and peace. Bill and Rosanne Taunton

Bill was a friend, fraternity brother and inspiration for what government and serving the public should be. Whatever role he assumed he did it well with the public interest always his paramount goal. Rest in peace good friend.
