GEORGE H. DELANO

DeLANO, George H. 83, son of the late Ralph & Vera DeLano, a longtime resident of Randolph, MA, passed away on October 26, 2014, surrounded by his loving family after a period of declining health. George was the beloved husband of Virginia "Ginny" (Nugent Lum) DeLano. In one of his last conversations shortly before his passing George said his years with Ginny were the "45 happiest years of my life." George and Ginny were very proud of their "blended" family. George is survived by his wife Virginia, and their children Deborah DeLano-White and her husband Kenneth of Salem, NH, Pamela Horgan and her husband Richard of No. Attleboro, MA, Wayne DeLano and his wife Mary of Middleboro, MA, Mark DeLano of Lynn, MA, Robert Lum and his wife Tina of Abington, MA, Ronald Lum and his wife Lucy of Randolph, MA, and Richard Lum of Randolph, MA (his late wife was Betty Miller). He is also survived by 19 grandchildren, 7 great grandchildren, many nieces and nephews, his late son's wife Christine DeLano of Taunton, MA and his sister-in-law Mildred DeLano of Randolph, MA. He was predeceased by his parents, his son Robert DeLano and his brothers Dexter & Ralph DeLano. George was a proud US Navy veteran and a successful businessman. He and his late brother Ralph owned and operated Weiss Sheet Metal in Avon, MA for over 40 years. George was extremely pleased that he and Ralph were able to pass the business onto a second generation who have continued to run and grow the business into its 50th year. George was most proud of being known as Dad, Daddy and Grampa by his loving family. His quiet leadership, his mentoring, his many kindnesses, and his "Pisces" sense of humor will be greatly missed.
