David Richard Delaney is my dad. He has changed many lives, and to this day stories of him still put smiles on faces. He is in the hands of God and every action I do such as prayer and working out is done through the strength of his legacy. It is the big 2025 now contrast to the reflections of 2012…people said in reflections he was a hero and even 13 years later, I can say I definitely agree.
