“Greater love hath no man than to lay down his life for another.” – John 15:13
Joe Alton Delaney was born to Woodrow and Eunice Delaney, the third of eight children, in the sleepy town of Haughton, Louisiana in 1958. The son of a traditional blue-collar family, where his father hauled cattle and his mother worked as a housekeeper, hard work and sacrifice was natural to Joe. These characteristics molded Joe, who saw a brighter future both for himself and his family.
At an early age, he believed he would be a football star and that belief culminated in reality.
