Age 86, on Friday, April 17, 2015. Beloved husband of Carolyn (Casciato) Delesio; brother of the late Frances DeBella, Rose Bernatowicz, Matthew and Rosario "Rocky" Delesio. John was a loving and cherished uncle of many nieces and nephews. A Korean War veteran, John was a quiet and unassuming man who enjoyed many friends both in Illinois and Pittsburgh. John had a passion for bowling, and as an accomplished bowler at the age of 86, was an inspiration to his league! A former resident of Chicago, John remained a fan of the White Sox, Bears and Blackhawks, however, he grew an affection for the Pirates, Steelers and Penguins.
