JOHN "JACK" COSTELLO July 9, 1948-January 6, 2020. Armed with a positive attitude and his faith in Jesus Christ, Jack battled lung cancer for the past 17 months, fighting to the very end. His struggles ended when he departed this life on January 6, 2020 at the age of 71. He will be sorely missed by his partner, soulmate and wife of 43 years, Jeanine (Bauer). Their marriage was blessed with two children, John (Lauren) and Megan (Nick) Priore. With the addition of five grandchildren, Keira, Jack and Maura Costello and Connor and Kelsi Priore, their family was complete. Jack also leaves behind a sister, Kathleen (Paul “Herky”, deceased) Kotek and a brother Jim (Dee, deceased), along with several nephews, nieces, and beloved extended family. Born and raised in Pittsburgh, Jack was the son of John Joseph Costello and Margaret Helen Moore. He attended St. Mary of the Mount School and graduated in the class of 1966. Jack was handy and hard-working even from a young age, when he would build things to play with and worked a newspaper route with his beloved dog, Charlie, by his side. A gifted storyteller with a great sense of humor, Jack loved to share old family stories. He often regaled us with tales of his wild youth – weekends at Conneaut Lake with friends, the cool cars he had and the time he and a friend drove Route 66 to Las Vegas on a get-rich quick scheme. Jack later worked as a stationary engineer and was a proud member of the IUOE Local 95 for over 30 years. He loved spending time tinkering on projects in his workshop and built many decks, sheds and kitchens. Afterwards, he'd enjoy a cold Iron City Beer which he said always tasted better after a hard day's work. He loved listening to music and reading books, especially old ones about obscure topics or manuals for machinery. He wore suspenders and never left the house without his hat. He loved spending time with his family, most especially his grandkids, always making his time with them special. Jack was very proud of his “100%” Irish heritage and was fortunate enough to travel to Ireland in 2012 with family and friends to meet his second cousins. When Jack was diagnosed with Stage IV lung cancer in August 2018, he immediately declared he wanted to throw his own wake so that he could be there to enjoy it – he was never one to miss a good party! In fact, Jack enjoyed a good party so much that he embodied the family tradition of “vestibuling”, which is when you say you are leaving a party but two hours and maybe another beer later, you're still saying goodbye. He vestibuled on this Earth long enough to enjoy his second wake in September 2019. Faced with a cancer diagnosis, he reminded us not to waste the precious remaining time in sadness, but to savor it with family and friends. All who were blessed to know and love Jack in his lifetime will remember his positive outlook and humor in life and are grateful for many good memories. In celebration of his life, please say a prayer of thanks to St. Jude. Family will receive friends 2:00 – 8:00 p.m., THURSDAY at McDERMOTT FUNERAL HOME, INC., 334 Forest Grove Road, Kennedy Twp. Mass of Christian Burial will be 10 a.m., FRIDAY in St. Malachy Church. Interment to follow at Resurrection Cemetery. mcdermottfh.com Send condolences post-gazette.com/gb

Ed graduated from Norwin High School in 1943 where he played basketball, met Kathryn Donegan (Kitty, his future wife), was elected Vice President of his class for four years, and voted most likely to succeed. He left high school in the middle of his senior year to enter the University of Pittsburgh under a US Army Air Corps program. His education was interrupted at Pitt for three years when called to service by the Air Corp as a navigator/operator. He returned to Pitt where he earned his BS in Industrial Engineering in 1948, and began what would become a life long career with Westinghouse Electric Corporation. In 1960 he attended the Harvard Business School management development program. Ed had a very successful career with Westinghouse rising from Sales Engineer in the Detroit lamp division to President of the multi-billion dollar Industry Products division with 22,000 employees.

Ed stayed involved with Pitt throughout his entire life. He was active in the Engineering school, earning the Distinguished Alumni Award, as well as being inducted into the Engineering Hall of fame. Up until a year ago he could be found cheering on his beloved Pitt Panthers either on the basketball court or the football field. Ed had many passions and possessed great empathy with a tremendous sense of humor. In addition to spending time with his wife and family, he enjoyed traveling the world, playing golf and fly fishing with friends and family. Ed was an avid golfer and member at Allegheny Country Club, Laurel Valley, Rolling Rock and others. Ed's family and faith were the foundations for his life. He was very active in the Sewickley Presbyterian church, participating in various committees, including lending his vision and leadership to acquire and bring the Faith House (formerly Pink House) into the future growth opportunities for the church. Ed was a tireless worker and above anything else believed in "doing what was right and not what's popular." He will be missed by his many friends and family. Visitation for family and friends will be on Thursday 2-4, and 6:30-8:30 p.m. at COPELAND'S SEWICKLEY, 702 Beaver St. Please meet at Sewickley Presbyterian Church, 414 Grant St. on Friday for funeral service at 10:30 a.m. In lieu of flowers, family suggests donations if desired in Edwin's name to Alzheimer's Association, The Pittsburgh Symphony or the University of Pittsburgh, School of Engineering.
