John Charles Delay

A life full lived leaves no regrets and much respect t.gunn

Athough we spent 1960-64 in the same squadron at the Air Force Academy, we lost touch after we left the Blue Zoo. In the last 15 + years we found each other at a USAFA squadron reunion and picked up as if only a couple of years had past since 1964. How impressive Jack's accomplishments were! Condolences to Patricia - we know that you miss him. Sandy and Rita Purcell

I always looked forward to sitting with and talking with Jack. A simple joy.He will truly be missed

I met Jack many years ago. A South Side character who usually kept to himself. In short time he slowly opened up...I was amazed as his life history and also his constant drive to make the world a better place. We quickly became good friends. Jack's interests and talents were many. I got him to join our mens book group and he got me to donate design time to stop...or at least minimize...the coal trains run through Fairhaven. Certainly his warm smile will be a lasting memory for many...

Jack, what a character you were. So sorry to hear of your passing. And my condolences to Patricia. Jack lived just down the street from me. Always loved the sound of his electric truck passing my house. We shared many a glass of red wine and gin & tonics at the Black Cat... discoursing on life and politics. Jack will be missed. He was always good for an involved political discussion... and he was an expert on so many things. He would have loved Joe Biden's State of the Union address...
