Bill befriended me when I worked for the US Dept. of Labor in late 70's. He later hired me in the IT department, and mentored me for many years. We later worked together at the Selective Service System and he continued to mentor me until I moved to take a job in Washington, DC. His favorite phrase was "piece of cake" and I use that phrase to this day. I am sorry for your lose and was blessed to have Bill in my life. He was very special to me.

Judy, Mark and families, we are sorry to hear about Bills passing. The Delaneys are synonymous with our (Srutowski) childhood memories growing up in St. Turibius, and we fondly remember all the laughs and good times. We will always remember, too, how kind you were to remember my brother, Dave, when he was taken from us. We wish you much comfort and peace, and hope you all feel the warmth of Jesus arms around you in this difficult time.
