Father William F. Daley was born October 4, 1928, in Lawrence, Massachusetts, son of William and Mary Kennedy Daley. He was educated in the Grammar School of St. Mary's Parish and after graduation from Central Catholic High School in 1946, he joined Maryknoll.

After ordination on June 9, 1956, he was assigned to East Africa in the Maryknoll Diocese of Musoma, Tanzania. In those days it was Maryknoll's practice to study local languages and he was assigned to study Dholuo and work in Maryknoll's Luo parishes in Musoma. He has been assigned to this work for forty years, working in Musoma and at the present time is a priest in residence at Kowak.

In April 1978, Father Daley was elected Regional Superior of the Africa Region and when the Region was divided into two Regions (Tanzania and Kenya), he was the Superior of Tanzania until 1984. He presently serves at the Kowak Mission in Tanzania.
