John J. Yenca, 70 years of age, passed away the morning of January 13, 2022 in Bethlehem, Pa.

John lived most of his adult life in the Bethlehem community. John was particularly devoted to his many years as Culinary Chef for the Delta Tau Delta Fraternity at Lehigh University.

John's time on campus led to memories, unending relationships and an experience that lasted John's lifetime. John was most proud to be a fellow 'Delt.'

The Family is most grateful for John's loving friends in the Bethlehem area as he considered all of you his family. For this we are all most grateful.

John was preceded in death by his mother and father and 1 younger brother.
