Mr. Gordon J. Dellise

Gordon “Gordy” J. Dellise, 92, Green Bay, passed away on Friday, February 28, 2025, and was reunited in Heaven with the love of his life, Patti. Gordy lived a long and fulfilling life among family, friends and colleagues. His deep faith was an inspiration to all who knew and loved him dearly. Gordy was born on September 14, 1932, in Algoma, the son of the now late Raymond and Louise (Vandervest) Dellise. He attended Algoma High School and served his country in the United States Navy serving aboard the U.S.S. Caperton until his honorable discharge in 1955. On June 12, 1952, he married the former Patricia “Patti” Writt and the couple enjoyed almost 56 years together. Patti preceded him in death on June 8, 2008. Gordy worked for Wisconsin Bell as a repairman for over 30 years until his retirement. He was extremely active in coaching baseball at all levels including Preble High School. His deep love of sports afforded him many coaching opportunities including girls’ softball and basketball at the grade school level for St. Phillips. Gordon enjoyed golfing, bowling and playing cards with his family, most particularly his brother and sister-in-law: Lloyd and Carol. He was a die-hard Yankees, Packers, Bucks and sometimes Cubs fan depending on which way the wind blew and he lived for and loved playing fantasy baseball for many years. Gordy also enjoyed his forays at the local casino. Gordy’s generosity, patience for all things, and understanding nature will be cherished beyond measure. Gordy is survived by three daughters and three sons-in-law: Cynthia and David Bornemann, Seymour; Kym and John Janusz, Longwood, FL; Jodi and Michael Glassburn, St. Cloud, FL; one son and daughter-in-law Tom and Pam Dellise, Green Bay; six grandchildren: Samantha (Michael) Todd, Katelyn (Praj) Cartier-Reddy, Quinn Dellise and his fiancée: Kenna Witt, Hallie Dellise, Jackson and Lily Glassburn; one great-grandson Tyler Fischer, one great-granddaughter Kennedy Cartier; one brother and sister-in-law Lloyd and Carol Dellise, Green Bay.
