Jacques L. Delamarre
Nov 30, 1932 – Nov 30, 2022
One of the Good Guys
Salt Lake City resident, Jacques L. Delamarre, age 90, passed away peacefully at home on November 29 of natural causes. His loving wife of 57 years, Sara, was at his side. He is survived by his sister, Diane Madgic, of Anderson, CA, niece Jennifer Madgic of Bozeman, MT, nephews Kirk and Doug of Anderson and San Mateo, CA respectively, and grandnieces Emma and Kathleen.
Jacques ,“Jack”, was born in New Rochelle, N.Y. and grew up in Westport, CT. He spent two years in the Marine Corps before earning a B.A. from New York University in 1963. He then enjoyed a long career in business, primarily in New York City.
In these years, Jack acquired what became a lifelong interest and expertise in boxing and was often consulted on developments in this sport and up and coming boxers.
In 1980, Jack and Sara moved to Salt Lake City. They traveled widely around the globe for many years. When not traveling Jack pursued a passion for collecting art, in particular iconic photos of Americana and of wild creatures, especially “Images of Nature” taken by famed photographer, Tom Mangelsen.
Dogs were another of Jack and Sara's loves, seldomly without a treasured canine pet throughout their marriage.
Jack loved watching the Utah Jazz basketball team, and served up hearty meals to his family and guests. A repeated request was for his special spaghetti sauce that he simmered on the stove for hours.
No services will be held.
