Lige Delaney put his heart into family, young athletes

Through good seasons and bad, warm August evenings and rainy October nights, Lige Delaney was on the sidelines of every Bellevue High School football game from 1961 to 1996 to root for his boys.

"He loved it. That was his life. That's what he did. He ate and breathed football," said Carol J. Rich of Bellevue, a daughter.

Mr. Delaney grew up poor, spending much of his childhood in a Hamilton County orphanage. Though his fortunes changed, he never forgot what it meant to be needy.

Mr. Delaney rose every Saturday morning for years to run the clothes and food closet at Trinity Baptist Church in Newport.

Likewise, he bought shoes for football players at Bellevue High who couldn't afford them.

"He was a real community volunteer," Mrs. Rich said.

Mr. Delaney, 80, of Newport, died Wednesday at Baptist Convalescent Center, Newport. He was a retired meat cutter with Kroger and a member of Trinity Baptist Church, Newport. He was an assistant coach with little league football and Bellevue High School teams.

Mr. Delaney found time for his own children, too, investing it in his sons' sports activities and finding something good to say about about all his five children. "He was always real proud of all his children's accomplishments. Anything we did he was always real proud, and he'd like to brag about it," Mrs. Rich said.

Mr. Delaney received a hero's welcome this fall when he managed to attend a Bellevue football practice.

Survivors include daughters Jo Ann Papp of Indianapolis; sons, Rev. Jerry W. Delaney of Alexandria, Pat S. Delaney of Dayton and Rick L. Delaney of Bellevue; sisters, Lillian Oldham of Falmouth and Margaret Ginn of Cincinnati; brothers, Leonard Delaney of Newport and Leslie Delaney of Milford; 13 grandchildren and three great-grandchildren.

Services will be 10 a.m. Saturday at Radel Funeral Home, Newport. Visitation will be from 4 to 8 p.m. Friday at the funeral home. Burial will be in Floral Hills Cemetery, Taylor Mill. Memorials are suggested to Bellevue High School Football, Center and Lafayette, Bellevue, Ky., 41073.

Robert Alcorn, 73, of Dry Ridge, died at 5 p.m. Monday at University Medical Center, Lexington. Survivors include a brother, James T. Alcorn of Augusta.
