MATTHEW THOMAS SZYKOWNY Age 79, Las Vegas Nevada went home to be with the Lord on July 27, 2020. Matt was born in Bellevue, Pennsylvania, attended Assumption Grade School, North Catholic High School (1959) and attended the University of Iowa on an academic and athletic scholarship. He was truly an All Star, excelling in baseball, football and basketball and was considered one of the best athletes of the area and a Legend in his time. His North Catholic basketball coach, Don Graham, often said Matt Szykowny was the best player he coached, scoring 1,852 career points -- still a school record. “Rip” Scherer, a 1944 North Catholic graduate and head football coach, led the Trojans to three Pittsburgh Catholic League titles from 1956-58 said the best player he ever coached, was quarterback, Matt Szykowny. Matt was a three-sport letterman at North Catholic in football, basketball and baseball and repeated the trifecta at the University of Iowa from 1959-1962. Matt was also a very good student, obtaining a Bachelors Degree in civil engineering from the University of Iowa. Matt had tryouts with the Pittsburgh Steelers, Hartford Whalers, Pittsburgh Pirates and played minor league baseball in the Minnesota Twins organization. He worked for John Deere (Moline, Illinois) and US Steel (Chicago, Illinois). Matt moved from Chicago to California for a short time and then to Las Vegas. Matt was not only a gifted athlete; he was also quite the artist and musician. He could tell a story like no other and loved to share stories from the past. Matt was a man of faith and found great comfort in the word of God. Matt was preceded in death by his father (Frank T), mother (Helen W), brother (Frank J. “Swish”) .He is survived by two daughters, Kim (Scott) and Karen (Coya); brother, Larry (Peggy); five grandchildren, two great-grandchildren and many nieces and nephews. In the photo shown, Matt received the 1959 Pittsburgh Catholic Diocesan Basketball Championship trophy for his team from Bishop John. J. Wright. Due to Covid-19 and geographical logistics, the family plans to hold a celebration of Matt's life in Pittsburgh at a later date, yet to be determined. Arrangements will be announced via North Catholic's alumni newsletter and the Pittsburgh Post Gazette. If you wish to honor Matt's memory, the family asks that donations be made to North Catholic High School in Matt's honor. North Catholic High School, 1617 Route 228, Cranberry Township, PA 16066.

JOHN W. "JACK" TIERNEY John William Tierney of Highland Park, aged 96, died peacefully on Tuesday, August 25, 2020, at his home, surrounded by his family. Jack, as he was known, was a loving husband and father, a World War II veteran, a lector at Sacred Heart Church, and a chemical engineer who published more than 75 research papers during a career that took him to three continents. He was a professor at the University of Pittsburgh for more than three decades and continued as an emeritus professor to direct energy research projects. Jack, who grew up in the Chicago suburb of Glen Ellyn, graduated from Fenwick High School in 1941 and won a citywide prize in Chicago for scholastic excellence, the All-American Catholic Boy award. During World War II, he was a sergeant in a U.S. Army engineering regiment deployed to Persia (now Iran), Belgium and Germany. After graduating from Purdue University in 1948 with a degree in chemical engineering, he earned a master's degree at the University of Michigan and a doctorate at Northwestern University. In 1952 he married Patricia Anne O'Neill in Chicago. During the 1950's he worked as a senior research engineer at Pure Oil's laboratory in Northfield, Illinois, taught engineering at Purdue, and became manager of the process control department at Remington Rand Univac in St. Paul, Minnesota. In 1960, he and his family moved to Chile so he could join a project led by Pitt to develop a graduate engineering program at the Federico Santa Maria University in Valparaiso, Chile. At the end of the family's grueling two-day plane trip to Chile – with four young sons, including a five-month-old infant -- Patricia told Jack, “I hope we like it here, because we're never going back.” Shortly thereafter, the family lived through Chile's Valdivia earthquake, the most powerful earthquake ever recorded, and the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette published an article headlined, “4 Pitt Educators Escape Disaster.” Jack remained in Chile for two years, delivering lectures to students in Spanish. In 1962 he returned to become a professor at Pitt. He served as an adviser to the U.S. State Department in developing engineering education in Argentina, and in 1968 he received a Fulbright award to spend a year in Spain lecturing at the University of Barcelona. After he retired from teaching at age 70 in 1994, the university established a John W. Tierney Scholarship in his honor, and he continued directing research projects at Pitt into low-pollution fossil fuels over the next two decades as part of a multi-university research consortium funded by the U.S. Department of Energy. Jack is survived his loving wife, Patricia, who developed and supervised a program in the Pittsburgh Public Schools for gifted secondary students; his sons, John (Helen Fisher), Patrick (Jane McCafferty), Joseph (Romaine Stephen), Paul (Michelle Youngers); his sisters, Therese Brennan, Agnes Prindiville, and Marie Croft; his brother, Edward; twelve grandchildren, and seven great-grandchildren. The family will receive friends on Friday, August 28, from 5 to 8 p.m. at the McCABE BROTHERS FUNERAL HOME in Shadyside at 6214 Walnut Street. A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 1 p.m. Saturday at Sacred Heart Church in Shadyside. Condolences may be left at www.mccabebrothers.com. Send condolences post-gazette.com/gb

He taught his daughters the meaning of strength of character, kindness toward others, a good work ethic, the love of God, Family and Country, thankfulness for whatever they had, and the importance of standing up for what is right. To his family, He was the greatest husband, dad, pap, G-pap and uncle ever; a friend and a helpful neighbor. He loved his family above all and provided a happy and loving atmosphere where you were always either dancing to polkas or eating a home cooked meal and everyone was always welcomed. He retired from Universal Cyclop Steel, and was a Korean War veteran and Purple Heart recipient, Chester was a Heidelberg volunteer fireman and he loved gardening, soccer, photography, FaceTiming his family, and was a lifetime member of the American Legion. Chester was a shining example of what a man, a husband and a father should be. Rest in Peace — We know you are in the arms of Jesus and are reunited with your number one daughter, Bernadine.
