CHESTER JOSEPH AMATANGELO AGE ...
CHESTER JOSEPH AMATANGELO Age 94, of Rosslyn Farms died peacefully at home with family Wednesday, May 15, 2019, due to congestive heart failure. A loving and devoted father, grandfather, husband, and brother, he spent his last years enjoying many conversations, laughs with family and friends and dining with them while he ate his favorite rigatoni with homemade sauce and wine. He always wanted the best for his family and to be surrounded by them - Sempre Familgia. Chester loved listening to the Big Bands of his youth as well as Opera. He particularly liked going for drives with his family through Pittsburgh to visit museums, his Alma maters and his old neighborhoods. At home, you could always find him watching John Wayne, Gunsmoke or Clint Eastwood, recorded Steeler games (only if they won), playing cards and building Lego. Throughout his life, Chester believed you must respect yourself, respect others, always do the right thing, and when you do anything, commit to it. His motto was You know you've done your best when you feel it in your heart. He was an exemplar of the Greatest Generation. Born February 25, 1925 to Giovanni Battiste and Luisa Giovanna Rigazzi of Rocca Pia, Italy and Donora, Pennsylvania, Chester was the second youngest of ten children. After graduating from Donora High School in 1943, he attended the University of Pittsburgh's School of Engineering receiving his degrees in electrical engineering (BS 1948, MS 1950) and was an Engineering Graduate Assistant. Chester also attended Carnegie Tech (CMU), receiving his MBA in Industrial Administration in 1954. During college, Chester served in WWII in the US Navy Seabees on Samar Island, Philippines. His fondest memories while in college were his days marching across football fields playing the trombone for the Pitt Marching Band. While finishing his MS in 1950, he began a successful 40-year career as an engineering executive at the United States Steel Corporation's Design and Engineering division within the Power and Fuel department before moving to the Peter J. Schmitt Company in Buffalo, NY. With the arrival of his first grandchild, he retired in Pittsburgh to be with family attending their recitals, plays, football games and graduations. Chester is survived by his wife Barbara; his five children with his first wife, Helen Evelyn Skiles (d. 1978): Matthew Amatangelo (Judith Stoehr Amatangelo), Roberta Amatangelo Bauer (Paul Bauer), David Amatangelo (Victoria Holland), Rebecca Amatangelo (Robert Horn), and Marie Elena Amatangelo (Michael Hewins), sister-in-law Amy Craddock Nance (stepson Thomas Mark Nance d. 2016), his sister Evelyn Christina, and three grandchildren Jason Bertocchi, Jennifer Bertocchi and Katie Amatangelo. Friends will be received on Friday, May 17 from 2 to 4 and 6 to 8 p.m. at the BOCK FUNERAL HOME, LTD., 1500 Mt. Royal Blvd., Glenshaw. A Funeral Mass will be celebrated in Saint Philip Roman Catholic Parish, Crafton on Saturday, May 18 at 10 a.m. EVERYONE PLEASE MEET AT CHURCH.

KATHRYN KUCSMAS Our beloved mother, sister, grandmother, aunt and friend, Kathryn Kucsmas, has gone to be with God. She passed away on Wednesday, May 15, 2019. Kathryn will be missed terribly by all that have been blessed to have known and loved her. Kathryn's gentle spirit, loving heart and helping hand were always there for all. Her strength and compassion were tireless and enduring. Her faith, dignity and humility were ever-present and her guide through life's journey. A resident of Ruffs Dale for the past 16 years, Kathryn enjoyed the pastoral setting of the country home she shared with Mark, her son. Formerly of McKeesport, she is survived by sister, Rose Czajkoski; her daughter, Michelle; her sons, Bryan and Mark; Bryan's wife, Kathy; Mark's partner, Dan; three grandchildren, Tim, Jayme and Brian; great-grandchildren, nieces, nephews and friends. Those who have passed and now welcome her into God's Kingdom are her loving husband, Mike; her son, Tim; mother, Jennie Mihalic Luketic-Matesa; father, Thomas Luketic; siblings, Eleanor, Pearl, Ed and Joe; and Amy, her granddaughter. Born on May 25, 1923 in McKeesport, her 95 years were God's gift to us all. Kathryn's family wishes to express our love and gratitude to Dan and Sue whose loving care, sacrifice and support were limitless and so very much appreciated over the past seven years as Kathryn's dementia slowly consumed her identity, memories and ultimately; her life. Our sincere appreciation and respect also goes out to the aides, nurses and staff of the home care and hospice agencies that made her final years at home possible; especially Three Rivers Hospice, Bayada Home Health and Bridges Hospice. May God bless all of you! Please join us to say farewell from 2-4 and 6-8 p.m. Friday May 17th, at the J. WILLIAM MCCAULEY JR. FUNERAL HOME, 901 Vine St., West Newton.

Sylvia's eventful life spanned almost a century. Born and raised in Pittsburgh's East End, she mostly grew up in the Depression and during World War II. She graduated from the University of Pittsburgh with a degree in English and then earned a Master's Degree in social work. Sylvia and Sidney met while at Pitt and were married in 1947. She worked as a medical social worker at Montefiore Hospital and for one year at the University of Pennsylvania until she started a family in 1951. While raising four rambunctious boys, Sylvia simultaneously pursued a volunteer career as a lay leader in many Jewish communal organizations. Among these, she served as the President of the Hillel Jewish University Center and the chair of the University of Pittsburgh Israel Heritage Room Committee. She was also particularly active in leadership roles at the Jewish Federation of Greater Pittsburgh and Rodef Shalom Congregation. She led the tours at Rodef Shalom and also served as a docent at the University of Pittsburgh's Cathedral of Learning Nationality Classrooms. Over the course of her volunteer career, she garnered numerous honors. For seven decades, Sylvia and Sidney were true partners in all of their community work. Together they frequently traveled the world with the Jewish Federation and the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee to visit and assist Jewish communities in need. Those who worked with her will remember her warmth, generosity and intelligence. Many female lay leaders in Pittsburgh's Jewish community considered her to be their mentor and role model as they began their involvement. Above all else, Sylvia was a devoted family matriarch, who deeply loved her husband, four sons and their wives, and then grandchildren and great-grandchildren, as well as her parents, uncles, aunts, sisters, brothers-in-law, sister-in-law, nephews, nieces and cousins. She was the bedrock of her family, always loving, supportive and helpful. All will cherish her memory.
