It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Joe Delaney of Dryden, Ontario on April 7, 2024, after a lengthy illness.
Joseph Gerard Jude Delaney was born on April 14, 1954 in Quebec City, Quebec. His parents were William Evoy Delaney and Mary Eileen Conway both of Quebec. Joe was predeceased by his brother Jack Delaney of B.C. and his wife of 27 years Merli Celistino of the Philippines. Left to mourn is his son Martin Delaney of Dryden.
Joe had many jobs in Winnipeg and in Thunder Bay and later took great pride in owning and managing Delaney’s Deli in Dryden. Joe was a wonderful storyteller, and family and friends enjoyed hearing tales of his many experiences. He enjoyed many fishing trips and playing drums in local bands.

April 12, 2024 at 6:45 pmSo sorry to hear of Joe Delaney passing last Sunday. We grew up and went to school together, had many good times and lots of fun in Quebec. When we moved out west Joe was in the back seat of my 1970 maverick playing his guitar from Quebec to Winnipeg. Rest in peace my dear friend.🌷🌷🌷

August 25, 2024 at 3:05 pmI am in shock that Joe has passed away and just finding out about it at this late date.
Joe had a huge impact on my life when he was a Big Brother with the Big Brother/Big Sister’s organization.
I was his Little Brother in Thunder Bay.
He was a fantastic role model for me growing up.
I will always cherish the many fond memories of Joe and I.
