Wayne DelVecchio, 79, of Canonsburg, passed away Monday, July 16, 2018, in St. Clair Hospital, Mt. Lebanon.

He was born July 18, 1938, in Canonsburg, a son of the late Clyde and Stella Picio DelVecchio.

Mr. DelVecchio lived his entire life in Canonsburg and was a member of St. Patrick Roman Catholic Church.

He served with the U.S. Army.

Prior to his retirement, after 35 years, Mr. DelVecchio had been employed as a C.T. Winder at the former McGraw-Edison and Cooper Industries.

He had been a 30-year member of Washington Country Club and enjoyed chess and bowling in his younger days. Wayne enjoyed dancing, and he and his wife were members of Steel City Boogie Club of Pittsburgh.

Also left behind to cherish his memory are two daughters, Dayna Spence and Susan Reed and husband William, both of Canonsburg; his sister, Patty Leposky and husband Ray of Washington; four grandchildren, Anthony and Emily Reed and Ryan and Steven Spence; very special cousins; and several nieces and nephews.
