Personal
After Hurricane Katrina, Dellucci, a Louisiana native, started the Catch 22 for Blue Foundation to raise money to help the victims of the hurricane. He was rewarded with a Commendation from the Louisiana Senate and House of Representatives. He heads Dellucci's Dream Foundation which puts on an annual free baseball clinic in Baton Rouge for boys and girls and educates young children with life skills. Dellucci is on the Board of Directors for the Miracle League of Baton Rouge which has built a rubberized field for handicapped children in wheelchairs and walkers to play baseball. He helps coach and pitches during the games.
He has also worked for regional sports networks as a color analyst for college baseball games (mostly Southeastern Conference games). Dellucci is an avid outdoorsman who enjoys hunting and fishing.
Dellucci was elected into the Louisiana American-Italian Hall of Fame in 2011.
He is married to Rachel Reynolds, a model on The Price Is Right, and in a 2010 Ultimate Wedding Shower, was a model on a One Bid prize, a wedding outfit for bride and groom. It was the first time a model had appeared with her husband modeling prizes. With two of the show's four models (as of Season 40) being married, both models have modeled prizes along with their husbands.
On the Season 41 premiere (September 24th, 2012), Dellucci appeared with his wife to announce the family is expecting their first child, with the sonogram of the child appearing on the One Bid item, an iPad. The child is due February 2013.

—E.L. (Edgar Lawrence)
“Most personal correspondence of today consists of letters the first half of which are given over to an indexed statement of why the writer hasn’t written before, followed by one paragraph of small talk, with the remainder devoted to reasons why it is imperative that the letter be brought to a close.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
“Healthy parenting is nothing if not a process of empowerment. As we help to raise our children’s self-esteem, we also increase their personal power. When we encourage them to be confident, self-reliant, self-directed, and responsible individuals, we are giving them power.”
—Louise Hart (20th century)
