Although I don't think I ever met Mr. Delancey but my oldest brother Milton worked with him for many years at Osceola Foods. My brother was called Clarence at work because that was his first name. Milton used to talk about the fun and good times he had working with Mr. Delancey at Foods. He would laugh and tell us funny things that happened at work when they worked together. I know he was one of Milton's favorite people to know and work with. Condolences to family and friends.

Alot of us Osceola kids grew up with him being our snow cone man. But, those of us who got to fellowship with him at church, knew him as an amazing, uplifting, inspirational elder in our church. He will forever be missed by many. But, man what a legacy he leaves behind.
