Saratoga Springs, NY - Anthony P. ("Horse") DelVecchio, Sr., formerly of Joseph Street, passed away Thursday Jan. 13, 2011 at Saratoga Hospital. He was 87. Born on Sept. 18, 1923 in Saratoga Springs, he was a son of the late Peter and Therese M. (DeGregorio) DelVecchio and was a lifelong city resident. A graduate of Saratoga Springs High School, he served in the US Army Air Corps and was a veteran of World War Two, prior to his honorable discharge in 1946. In earlier years, he worked as a cab driver for Jim and Nick's ("909") Taxi in Saratoga Springs and was also employed with the D & H Railroad at their switching station and yards in Mechanicville. A longtime employee of the Saratoga Springs City schools, he retired as a bus driver for the district and also worked as a clerk in the pari-mutuel department at Saratoga Harness Raceway for many years. He enjoyed maintaining meticulous lawn care for the school district and at his own residence. A great baseball spectator, he was an avid New York Mets and Detroit Tigers fan, yet a disgruntled, dejected and disappointed former NY Giants football fan. In addition to his parents, he was predeceased by all eight of his siblings, Joseph, Louise, Dominick, James, John, Albert and Josephine DelVecchio and Elizabeth Verro. Survivors include his wife of over 61 years, Domenica "Mae" (Piroli) DelVecchio, whom he married on June 5, 1949 in Mechanicville; his son, Anthony P.
