Christopher Hyser Obituary

Published by Legacy on Oct. 26, 2024.
Christopher W. Hyser Jr., formerly of Louisville, Ohio, passed away on October 23, 2024, peacefully at his Lewes, Delaware home at the age of 83, with his wife by his side. He was born in McDonald, Pennsylvania to Christopher W. Hyser Sr. & Nan (Steffen) Hyser.
Chris graduated from McDonald High School where he was a gifted athlete in track, basketball & football. He enlisted in the U.S. Air Force and served for 4 years. After his service, Chris went to work at NCR, Diebold & Omron in banking sales, and sold some of the first ATMs used in the United States.
Chris loved taking his family on vacations while seeing historic and scenic sites like the Painted Desert, White Sands & Mesa Verde. He was also interested in the Civil War, because his great-grandfather served in the Union Army and fought at Gettysburg. Chris loved watching old westerns, playing golf, and was an avid fan of the Pittsburgh Steelers and Notre Dame Fighting Irish. He was also a member of American Legion Post #28 in Delaware.
Most of all, Chris adored being a grandpa to Ellie and Andrew. He loved talking to them about their successes in sports and in the classroom.
Chris is survived by his wife of 57 years, Barbara, son Chris (Jessica), grandchildren Ellie and Andrew, sister Patricia Rosa (Robert), brother Robert Hyser (Barbara), brothers-in-law Anthony Bagliani (Marianne), Joseph Bagliani (June - deceased) and Robert Bagliani as well as many nieces, nephews and cousins. He was preceded in death by his mother, father and sister Lynda Jones.
Services will be held at a later date.
