Martin Delahunty
August 5, 1936 — August 6, 2017
Martin S. Delahunty died at St. Elizabeth Youngstown Hospital at the age of 81 on August 6, 2017 surrounded by his loving family. Martin (Marty) was born on August 5, 1936 in Cleveland, Ohio, a son of the late Martin and Bridget (Byrne) Delahunty. He grew up there as the older brother to two younger sisters Kathy & Margaret.
Marty graduated from Holy Name High School in 1954 and quickly took up an apprenticeship with General Motors, Cleveland in 1957. After 30 years of dedication to the company, he retired in 1987 as the superintendent of Welder Maintenance at the Lordstown Plant.
Martin was a hard working, self-made, and loving man. Not only did he exude a warmth and humor that brightened the lives of so many, but he also spread a wisdom to his family and friends that inspired perseverance and an ingrained drive for success.

Delahunty; Brittany, Danny, and Connor Delahunty; Alexandra, Nikki, and Joey Passerotti; and Meaghan, Patrick, Erin, and Katie Delahunty. By his extensive family he will be greatly missed.
