He is a retired engineer with a career in manufacturing, and a retired military officer, Navy pilot in Vietnam, Pennsylvania Air National Guard engineer and commanding officer.

“I have 28 years as a school director at Northwestern Lehigh, Lehigh Career and Technical Institute and Lehigh Carbon Community College board member,” Dellicker says.

He and his wife, Trudie, a retired elementary school teacher at Northwestern, have been married 53 years.

Dellicker is the father of three children Kevin, Sheri and Jodi, and grandfather of five GrandTigers - Will, Nolan, Jake, Reagan and Eli.
