My deepest condolences to the family of Tom Delaney on his recent passing.

I knew Tom from working with him at Source Finance in the early 1980's.
Tom and I shared many common interests having both worked as CPA's and later in the real estate profession.

I was always impressed with Tom's positive attitude and great sense of humor.
We shared a lot of laughs over the years.


Tom will be missed.

Sincerely,

Tom Elfrink

Tom was a supportive and loyal friend, frequently ready to discuss (at length) either running, health, or politics, and always with a humorous quip and a smile. I'll miss him, my good colleague and friend for over 50 years.
Pam, Patty, and David, my sympathies to you and all of the grandkids.

So very sorry we were out of town when the Celebration of Life was held. Tom (and Sandy) was a wonderful friend or ours, especially in the Price Waterhouse days. I greatly value our recent lunches together as we renewed our friendship.

Knew Tom from Love Management days. Was a customer when he was marketing a CAD system for building owners. Always funny, smart and kind. Condolences to his family.
