Bob Delisle passed away Thursday, January 22, 2026 after a brief illness.

A lifelong Lynn resident, Bob is survived by his children Jill and Derek Delisle, their spouses and his four grandchildren. Bob married Kathy MacNichol in 1978 and she remained by his side until the very end.

A published writer, GE foreman, real estate agent, bus driver, construction contractor, census worker, political foot soldier and artist in both mediums of paint and conversation Bob was as storied as his resume. His computer-like mind and quick wit could fire off quips with deadly precision. A nature enthusiast, you could find Bob feeding the seagulls in the Panera parking lot before walking the woods at Breakheart in Saugus.

Calling Hours for Bob will be held on Thursday, January 29, 2026, from 11am-1pm, at Goodrich Funeral Home, 128 Washington Street, Lynn, MA; followed by a procession to Pine Grove Cemetery, 145 Boston Street, Lynn, MA.
