I would like to express my sincerest condolences to the entire Delaney family. I have wonderful memories of John from our years together at the Prep.
Although I had not seen him since our graduation many years ago, I have thought of him often over the years with fond recollections of his intelligence, humor and wit and the shared experience of four years of football. He was a special person.
Be assured that John and your entire family are in my thoughts and prayers at this difficult time.

My sincere condolences to the DeLaney family.
John started at Carro Spanbock, a NYC law firm, after I had left but we got to know each other and became fast friends and taw law colleagues and even golfed a few times. I'll always remember his wit and incisive intelligence; his untimely passing is a real loss.

My sincere condolences to the Delaney family.
John and I worked together at a New York law firm in the late 80s-early 90s. We lost touch after we each went our separate ways, but I will always remember his good spirit, his devotion to his family and his high level of professionalism that was respected by all.
