My most sincere, heartfelt condolences to all the Delahante Family on behalf of myself and my siblings. We were neighbors growing up and I was able to develop a friendship through high school and thereafter with Rachel, Roy and Walter but never forgot all the Delahante siblings and our evening kick-the-bucket and baseball games where our two streets dead ended. Please extend my condolences to Michael's immediate family and friends. My prayers to all.
