JEAN HEADLEY PETERS Jean Headley Peters passed away peacefully on January 28, 2020 at age 88. Jean was a person of vivacious character whose basic philosophy was that hard work results in great things. She possessed a fiercely independent and indomitable spirit. Jean was extremely talented at many different crafts, cooking and gardening. She dazzled her friends and neighbors with all the beautiful things she had made by hand, including well over 100 quilts, china painting, oil painting, and costume making. Jean was very dedicated to her late husband, David J. Peters, who passed away in 2001 and to her two sons Steve Jeremko and Ted Jeremenko and their families. To Jean, her home on Horning Road was a paradise where she could display her beautiful flowers, shrubs and gardening talents. Most summer days would find her pulling her hoses along the two-acre property to water her plants. Friends and neighbors were astonished that she mowed the grass with her own John Deere tractor well into her 80s. Jean loved to cook and went to great lengths to learn different cuisine to please her family and friends, including Slavic dishes such as perogies and halupki and a variety of Mediterranean dishes. Any holiday would be celebrated with colorful, imaginative decorations, particularly at Christmas time where her basement would be transformed into a winter wonderland, replete with Santa Claus' Workshop. Mom sure knew how to shop and get bargains. She will be sorely missed by T.J. Maxx. Mom was born as Alma Jean Headley to Stanley and Etta Headley on June 29, 1931 on a small farmstead in the town of Kirby, PA. She graduated from Waynesburg High School in 1948. Jean graduated from the South Side Hospital School of Nursing in 1952. She became a registered nurse. In 1954, Jean married Thomas Jeremko and gave birth to son Steven later that year. In 1958, Jean gave birth to her second son, Theodore. In 1959, the family moved to their home on Gardenville Road in Bethel Park, PA. Jean and Tom divorced in 1966. In 1968, she married her second husband, David Peters and the family moved to Horning Road in Bethel Park, where she became a full-time homemaker and where she resided until her death. Jean is survived by her son, Steven Jeremko and his fiancée, Lindie Heasler of Vestal, NY and Theodore Jeremenko of Sharon, VT; her grandchildren include Lara Jeremko and Elisabeth Jeremko both of Los Angeles, CA, Katherine Jeremko and her partner Nico Valencia of Boulder CO and Jackson Avery of Sharon, VT. Jean inspired her grandchildren to boldly share their artistic gifts and hearts with the world. She taught them to live BIG - in love, laughter, generosity and glamour. Jean is also survived by her loving nephews, John Jeremko, Jr., John Loughman, Van Loughman and Max Loughman and their families. Jean also leaves behind her lifelong friend, Norma Munro and very special friends, Renee Sobierawlski, Cathy Aasen, Angela Avery, Roby Robertson and the Jim Bulger family. She is fondly remembered by her many other friends and neighbors. Jean was raised as a Methodist and often enjoyed listening to favorite hymns and Gospel music. Funeral arrangements are being handled by JEFFERSON MEMORIAL CEMETERY located at 301 Curry Hollow Road in Pittsburgh. Family and friends are invited to visit on Saturday Febuary 1, 2020 between the hours of 10:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. A memorial service will be held at the funeral chapel. Internment to immediately follow. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to St. Jude's Hospital in Jean's memory.

WILLIAM N. STEITZ, JR. "BILL" Age 86, of West Palm Beach, Florida, originally from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, passed away peacefully at home on Tuesday, January 28th, surrounded by family. He is survived by his wife, Melanie; his children, Betsy (James) Vance, Bill (Pamela), Charles (Janet), and Tim (Kristie). Also survived by his step-children, David (Allison) Affinito and James (Kelly) Affinito; his sister, Jeanne; and many nieces, nephews, and grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his parents, William and Edna; and his brothers, Jack and Edward. After attending Kiski Prep, Bill completed his education at Carnegie Tech, and Villanova University. Following college, he obtained his master plumbing license, and entered the family business, Sauer, Inc. This began a journey from plumbers apprentice of a modest commercial plumbing and heating business founded in Pittsburgh in 1876 by his great-grandfather, William N. Sauer, to President and CEO of the company, which became one of the largest and most successful Mechanical Contracting companies in the country. He was extremely grateful for his mentors in business, the people he worked with at Sauer, and the customers and friends who helped and supported him on that difficult but joyful journey, and for the opportunity to lead the company during the times that it worked on such notable projects as the Space Shuttle launch pads at Cape Kennedy, USX Tower & PPG Place in Pittsburgh, Clairton Steelworks, Mercy and Veterans Hospitals, and many other projects important to the industries and communities they served. He proved his mettle as a plumber, businessman, and entrepreneur, and in time expanded the business beyond construction, amassing a conglomerate of companies, with K.C. Mechanical, Concordia Custom Yachts, Annapolis Spars, Century and Century Contractors West, Micon, Spec Consultants, Voltec, and several others. Undeterred by the tragedy of the unexpected passing of his father at an early age, Bill was always the optimist and had a “can do” attitude towards everything he was involved in. Whether it was auto racing, flying airplanes, antique automobiles, dancing, collecting artwork, jewelry making, sailing, golfing, skiing, fishing, travel, photography, philanthropic or other interests he pursued everything with great passion, a competitive spirit, and youthful exuberance. His greatest joys were his family and grandchildren, who joined him on many of his sailing and traveling adventures. He embraced the fullness of life, and his memory will live on in everyone he sought to share it with, and inspired to do the same. Friends will be received at JOHN A. FREYVOGEL SONS, INC., 4900 Centre Avenue at Devonshire Street, Pittsburgh, PA 15213 on Friday, January 31, 2020 from 4-7 p.m. and Saturday, February 1, 2020 from 10 a.m. until 12 Noon.

RICHARD K. MCCANN Richard K. McCann, a loving husband, brother, father, and grandfather to his entire family, passed away on January 31, 2020. Rich was born on August 20, 1949 to the late Donald G. McCann and Jean M. McCann of Swissvale, PA. He is survived by his wife, Roberta (Bobbie); his sons and their loving partners, Matthew and Diane, Marc and Bijal; and his two beautiful granddaughters, Reagan and Brooke. He is also survived by his siblings, Margaret (Peggy) Ditillo, Donald (Dink) McCann, and Dennis McCann. Rich was most known and loved for his unsolicited warmth and friendliness to others, even passersby he'd never met (whom he'd often wave to from the patio deck while listening to the oldies on 3WS). When asked whether or not he knew these strangers, he'd simply reply, “No, but what's the harm in waving and saying hello?” To emphasize this rare and unique sociability, a dear friend would lovingly introduce Rich to others as “the Mayor of Kennywood.” His warmth was rivaled by his enthusiasm and energy for coaching youth athletics, where he volunteered for more than a decade as his boys grew up playing baseball, football, and basketball through Norwin's PAL programs. As a coach, he's remembered for frequently telling his players: “If I'm yelling at you, that just means that I care about you and I believe in your potential.” He also volunteered with the Boy Scouts of America and supported his sons in working towards their Eagle Scout awards. He loved spending a quiet Saturday morning at Oak Hollow Park as a self-proclaimed “lazy fisherman” who enjoyed sitting and watching the lines in the water perhaps even more than catching a fish. Rich's life and his marriage were dedicated to the love of his children and family. Though he will be missed dearly, he lives on through the words and actions of those he cherished most. Family and friends will be received from 2 to 6 p.m. on Sunday at the OTT FUNERAL HOME INC., 805 Pennsylvania Ave, Irwin. Parting prayers will be held 9:00 a.m. Monday in the funeral home followed by a 9:30 a.m. Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated by Rev. Richard J. Kosisko in St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Church. In lieu of flowers, please send donations to the Stanley M. Marks Blood Cancer Research Fund in support of MDS research and in appreciation of Dr. James Rossetti.
