John Edward Delap, 37 of Watervliet died on Saturday, April 14, 2018 at Samaritan Hospital after a sudden illness.

He was grandson to the late: Ed and Marie Forner and the late John E. Delap. Survived by his Nana, Ann Delap. He is also survived by many aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews and friends too numerous to count. Johnny was loved by all who knew him along with his canine companions Loki and Haze. Johnny was a joy from the time he was born and it was an honor for us to call him son, even though he was here for such a short time. We truly believe in our hearts that he has served his purpose here and is now at home; at rest with his Heavenly Father. The entire Delap family would like to thank everyone for their love, prayers and support throughout this difficult time.
