Stanley Delehanty "Del" "Jim", passed away on Thursday, June 4, 2009 after a brief battle with cancer at the age of 79.
Born July 21, 1929 in Streator, IL to Harold and Loretta Delehanty. Del was preceded in death by his parents, Harold Sr. and Loretta; two brothers, Harold Jr. and Raymond Delehanty; and father and mother-in-law, Kermit and Ann Dulian.
Survived by his beloved wife, Beverly of 59 ½ years; two sons, Chuck (Carol) Delehanty and Jim Delehanty; grandchildren, Russel Delehanty, Kim (Dwayne) Killian, Chris (Greg) Offerman; nieces and nephews, include David (Laura) Ruff, Wendy (Keith) Davidson and Gail, Dawn, Steve and Mike Delehanty; brother and sister-in-law, Kevin (Lety) Dulian; great-grandchildren, Zachary and Matthew Offerman and Dwayne Killian.
Del was a veteran of the U.S. Air Force serving during the Korean Conflict from 1950-1954. After his military service he and Beverly moved to Joliet, IL. where he worked as a construction worker his entire life. He retired in 1995 from the Operating Engineers Local 150.
In retirement, Del loved to visit friends at local restaurants each morning to laugh, joke and solve all of the world's problems, at least for the day. He cherished those times and the friends he made at Louis Restaurant and at Bob Evans Restaurant in Joliet. Del's family would like to express their thanks for the kindness and friendship that developed over the years with their good neighbors Pat and Diane Connors; Ed and Carmen Cortez; and also thanks to the friendships that developed with 'Joliet's Finest' Dawn, Jim, Shaun and Phil.
