  • We thank you from the bottom of our hearts

    Thank you all. We started this fundraiser with no small amount of apprehension that it might seem uncouth or even rude to request donations from the people we know and love as well as the public at large.

    All sorts of people have reached out, offered their condolences, their kind words, their generous donations and their offers of other help.

    We are blessed and grateful to have so many kind people in our families and in our lives.

    While the page does remain active, we did not want to wait any longer to acknowledge your kindness and let you know that it has made a material impact already.

    We are still processing and making a peace with Henri’s passing, but we draw comfort from the outpour of love and support.

    Love,

    Paul & Kathryn Caruso

Henri J Delger, loving father and active member of his community, passed away on July 16, 2023 of natural causes. He is predeceased by his wife Anne T. Delger (née Polaski) and leaves behind his daughter Kathryn Caruso, her husband Paul Caruso, and his grandson Lucas. 

Henri oversaw the Stoneham Post Office and went on to work for Harvard University in the management of their facilities and maintenance department for years. He was an avid numismatist with specialized knowledge of ancient Greek and Roman coins. A lover of animals, Henri cared deeply for his dogs and cats. In his later years, he sponsored a domesticated animal sanctuary that took in and cared for ailing/disabled pets when their owners could no longer meet their needs.

Henri’s daughter Kathryn and her small family comprise Henri’s only living relatives. They are working toward fulfilling his final wishes and hope to hold a Celebration of Life in his memory.

Kathryn and Paul both work in mental healthcare facilities and provide for their son, Henri’s grandson, Lucas (age 4). Funerary expenses are considerable. The generosity of friends, family and  anyone inclined to contribute would assist the family in their time of need and help to provide a modest but dignified memorial service for Henri.
