DELANEY, Kenneth Robert

- It’s with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Kenneth Robert Delaney of Port Maitland, Yarmouth County on May 9th, at the age of 80. The son of the late Ralph and Kathryn (Parry) Delaney, Ken was a long time dairy and beef farmer, having taken over and expanding the family farm in 1961. Prior to farming, Ken lived in Ontario where he held various positions including working on the lake boats and at General Motors. More recently, while still in the beef business, Ken was employed by Acadian Seaplants Ltd. where he worked for 16 years and enjoyed the camaraderie of his fellow workers, reluctantly retiring at the age of 75 due to health issues.
