A Special Tribute to John J. DeLaney, Jr.
Jay DeLaney, who passed away in November 2022, was a lifelong resident of Morristown and former Mayor of his hometown. He was a dedicated GSWA supporter serving on the Board of Trustees and then on the Advisory Council for many years. He was an inaugural member of the GSWA municipal alliance which facilitated collaborative discussions among local government representatives on the environment, planning, and zoning issues. Jay made things happen and was the definition of a networker, introducing people he felt should meet. He was passionate about community service and was an outspoken advocate for GSWA’s mission. We are thankful for Jay’s contributions and will celebrate his leadership, friendship, and guidance; or in Jay’s words, his “work, wealth, wisdom, and worry.”
And New This Year
