Lancaster County School District is deeply saddened by the loss of Delmar Patterson, Andrew Jackson High teacher and coach.
"Delmar was the blueprint of being a great person. He always put others first. He had a big heart and wanted everybody to laugh and smile. He had a positive attitude and wanted everybody to enjoy life. I think that is what made Delmar special. There will never be another Delmar." - Coach Danny Wright, Andrew Jackson High
A Celebration of Life service for Delmar Patterson will be Saturday, March 23 at 1 p.m. at the AJVPAC.
