ROBERT Bob PEARSON DELANEY,age 86, a longtime resident of Pocopson Township, died on Saturday, October 31, 2015, at Christiana Hospital. He was married to Anna June Sherratt Delaney for 40 years before her death in 1993.

Mr. Delaney was born in Roxborough to William Pearson Delaney and Ella Raybold Delaney.

He served in the U.S. Army during the Korean conflict. He spent his working years with Gulf Oil Corp., SunOlin Chemical Corp., and Ace Appliance Service, retiring in 1993.

Mr. Delaney was a deeply religious man and served both as a deacon and as a trustee at the First Baptist Church of Kennett Square. He was a member of the Palestine-Roxborough Masonic Lodge #135 F&AM.

Mr. Delaney liked reading detective stories and was a talented gardener. He was an avid wildlife observer and chose his retirement cottage at Ware Village in Oxford partly because it overlooked a good birdwatching site. He took great pleasure in attending family reunions each summer.
