  1. The Deligny’s were our neighbors for years on Davis Road. They were fine, upstanding, community and family oriented people. I am sorry to hear about his death. May he rest in peace.

  2. You will be missed by all. Had many a good time and conversations at fire functions over the years . You told it like it was. Thank you for the countless years of dedicated service
