Delphine T. Mulcahy
Delphine Tone Mulcahy,
99, of Chester Village
West, passed away
peacefully on Monday,
Aug. 19, 2013. Del was
the widow of Leo J.
Mulcahy, Commissioner
of the Connecticut State
Police from 1959 to 1971, who provided guidance in the founding of The
Club. She is also the mother of Club
member Doug Mulcahy.
Born Delphine Tone in New Haven on
Jan. 25, 1914, she was the eldest child
of Joseph Mackler Tone and Lena
Delphine Coloumbe. Mr. Tone was a
former Connecticut State Senator,
Labor Commissioner under Gov.
Wilbur Cross, and U.S. Assistant
Secretary of Labor during the
Roosevelt administration.
In addition to Doug, Del is survived by
a daughter, Delphine Tone Condron;
as well as five grandchildren, Jeanette
Garneau, Delphine Cyr, Elizabeth
Mulcahy, Laura Mulcahy Mayhew, and
Patrick Mulcahy.
Donations may be made in Del's
memory to one of two groups, The
Connecticut State Troopers Memorial
Scholarship Fund, Division of State
Police, 1111 Country Club Road,
Middletown, CT 06457 or the Lyme
Land Trust, PO Box 1002, Old Lyme,
CT 06371.

Sondra Benson
Sondra “Sonny” Benson, age 72 of Unionville, beloved wife of the late Carl Benson passed away peacefully at her
home on Thursday, May 16, 2013.She is survived by her much loved daughter, Kathy Schultz and her husband
Fred of East Hampton.
Sondra and Carl Benson joined the Hundred Club in1978. I came to know her, first through notes we sent to
each other and then through telephone conversations.
Each year, in addition to her dues payment, Sondra would send an additional contribution along with a note expressing her affection for the Hundred Club, her belief in what we do and, always a personal expression of “good
will” to the staff here.
After a few years of exchanging notes, I telephoned Sondra to personally express my appreciation for her loyalty
and support of the Hundred Club over the years. I very soon came to the conclusion that “this was a special
Lady”. We spoke many times over the years and my only regret is that I never met her in person.
God Bless you Sondra, and shame on me for not following up on taking you to the lunch we
spoke about.
