Dellich

Daniel J. “Hayseed” Dellich, 88, of Boyers, passed away peacefully Tuesday, March 18, 2025, in the comfort of his home, surrounded by his family.

Dan was born Feb. 10, 1937, in Boyers as the son of the late John and Ruth (Safranic) Dellich. His laid-back approach to life and his quick wit made him well-loved among the residents of Boyers.

Dan was a member of St. Faustina Parish. He worked at Pullman Standard until its closing and later owned and operated Dellich Trucking. He enjoyed a shared love of trucking and farming with his two boys, Danny and John, who will carry with them an abundance of happy memories and time spent with their Dad.

Dan is survived by his loving wife, Katherine “Kay” (Pavolich) Dellich; his sons, Danny (Rachel) and John (Sarah); his three grandsons, Noah, Oliver and Case; two sisters, Catherine Tilko of Butler and Ruth Ann Visniesky (John Somple) of Chicora; one sister-in-law, Mary Ann Dellich of Barkeyville; and many nieces and nephews.

Dan was preceded in death by his first wife, Erma J. (Boyles) Dellich, and their three children, Denise, Daniel and Jeffrey, who all passed away June 3, 1969, as a result of an auto accident; his sister, Rose Bonetti; and his brothers, George, William “Bill,” Chester and John.
