Ignazio “Jack” DelBagno age 90 of Wayne died Tuesday, December 4, 2007 at the Raritan Bay Hospital in Perth Amboy. His passing was quiet and peaceful while he was receiving the loving care of his family who where at his bedside.

He was born in Newark and had lived his formative years in Paterson later living in Clifton before moving to Wayne twenty-eight years ago.

Mr. DelBagno was a skilled “Wire Extruder” and had worked for Wilbert B. Driver Company in Harrison as well as consulting in the same skilled occupation for many companies who also did wire extrusion manufacturing. He retired at age sixty-five.

He leaves his family with many fond memories of a very delightful, loving family man who was always concerned and nurturing his family even in their adult years. At an early age Iggy was called to go to work to support his family and did so majestically and with pride. He was gifted with very generous ways and a selfless personality that put others needs above his own. Jack loved to interact with people and loved life to the fullest causing him to have many friends.

He was gifted with a genius intellect and was considered a mathematical genius and he could fix anything. He built very elaborate technical equipment by just seeing a schematic drawing of such equipment. He once saw a drawing for an electrical circuit for a television set and with his skills made perhaps the first television set in our area. His children recall that the screen was very small and that there was only one TV station to watch but the neighbors and relatives would gather at their home to see this brand new technology. He also developed and made electric cars. Iggy was the master of many trades and willingly taught others those skills.

It is an interesting element in Iggy’s life history that his father was a well know area Boxer who went by the professional ring name “Mickey Del”. He was elected to the Hall of Boxing Fame for all time.

Ignazio and Mary were happily married for twenty-one years until Mary’s tragic death due to cancer at age fifty-two.

He was also predeceased by his brothers John and Salvatore DelBagno and his sisters, Amelia “Molly” DelBagno and Carmella “Millie” DelBagno.

Surviving are four daughters Mary Lou Schmitt of Key West, Florida, Rose Tittle and her husband Jack of Wildwood, Phyllis Rizzuto of Howell and Antoinette Early of Perth Amboy; twelve grandchildren including Mary Lou and Michael Servidio, Frank Rizzuto, Edna Wright and her husband Michael, Mary Ann Tittle, Jacqueline Kelly and her husband Matt, Mark Early and his wife Joanne, Adam Early and his wife Alex, Nadine Berg and her husband Larry, Eve Elbeck and her husband Tom, Michael Palumbo and Nick Palumbo Jr.; he is also survived by eleven great grandchildren and one nephew retired Newark Police Captain Daniel DelBagno.
