MANCHESTER - Delbert L. Ohrt, 78, of Manchester, died Friday March 21, 2014, at his residence after a brief illness. He was born on July 12, 1935, in Blackhawk County, Iowa, the son of Herbert and Lutishia (Holdaway) Ohrt and was educated in the local school system.

He was a U.S. Navy veteran of the Korean War and served aboard the USS Princeton. He moved to New Hampshire in 1969 where he attended the former New Hampshire College (SNHU) graduating with high honors. He was employed as a radar supervisor at the New Boston Tracking Station until he retired in 1993.

Del was not one to sit back and relax, even in his retirement and spent his time working on his computer, solving Sudoku and crossword puzzles, reading and studying genealogy but most of all he loved spoiling his grandchildren. He will be remembered as a loving husband, father and grandfather.

He was predeceased by his brothers Donald Ohrt and Dale Ohrt.

Members of his family include his wife of 50 years Patricia B. Ohrt, his two sons Lyle Ohrt and his wife Jennifer and Joseph Ohrt and his two grandchildren Lauren Ohrt and Jacob Ohrt all of Manchester as well as several nieces, nephews and cousins.
