MEDICH NICHOLAS E. AGE 90, OF ...
MEDICH NICHOLAS E. Age 90, of Murrysville, formerly of Forest Hills, died Monday, September 8, 2014. Born December 18, 1923, in Rankin, he was the son of the late Simo and Kata Blazevich Medich. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by a daughter, Mary; and a sister, Mildred Karas. He is survived by his wife, Lucille Beninati Medich; five daughters, Kathleen (Jeff Laird) Gemberling of Swarthmore, PA, Dr. Cynthia (Joseph Doktor) Medich of Boston, MA, Patricia (James) Stuart of Murrysville, Lynda (John) Andreas of Camp Hill, PA, and Kristen (Jeff) Jeznach of Boston, MA; eleven grandchildren, Allyson (Arlen), Lindsay (Jeremy), Brad (Susannah), Maggie, Caroline, Jonathan (Janelle), Nicholas, Amanda, Blake, Cole and Lauren; one great- granddaughter, Clara; and many nieces and nephews and family pets. A Funeral Mass will be celebrated at 10 a.m. Saturday, September 20, 2014, at the Mother of Sorrows Church, Murrysville. The family asked that we all gather at 9:30 am. Raised by Croatian/Serbian parents who emigrated from Yugoslavia, Nick never spoke a word of English until the age of six. Yet he learned to thrive in the American culture and educational system by trial and error and through the simple love of his parents. He graduated with honors from Rankin High School in 1941, where he played varsity basketball, participated in school theatricals, served as Senior Class President and was Homecoming King 1941. He remained very active in planning and executing class reunions through the years. Nick attended undergraduate and graduate school at the University of Pittsburgh and was a member of Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity. He served the Pittsburgh Public Schools as a Special Education Teacher from 1950 to 1957 and in the Mt. Lebanon Public Schools beginning in 1958. He led his practice as a School Psychologist in the Duquesne Public Schools from 1962 to 1966 and in the Pittsburgh Public School System from 1966 to 1981. Nick loved his work and cared deeply for the students he evaluated and worked with, as evidenced by his comprehensive reports regarding accurate diagnosis and comprehensive treatment planning. He cared about all people and lived his life with integrity. Nick married the love of his life, the girl next door, and was a devoted husband to Lucille for 63 years. He respected and cherished Lucille all the days of his life and taught his children through his example the strength behind commitment in marriage. Nick was a kind, compassionate, gentle, and interesting man, liked by everyone whose life he touched. He loved humor, telling jokes to the very end. Athletics were very important to Nick, first as a basketball player at Rankin HS and Pitt, and then as a tennis enthusiast into his 80s. He taught his children and grandchildren the art and skill of the game. He was an avid fan too, closely following the athletic careers of his grandsons through basketball championships, as well as college and professional baseball. Likewise, his granddaughters received the same lavish attention for their athletics, performances and milestone events. To all of them, he was an honorable man and doting grandfather. Nick was also an amazing father to his five daughters. He embraced his role as patriarch of his dancing, twirling, theatrical daughters, attending all their events and encouraging each of them through life's many turns with true dedication and devotion. Nick was viewed as a thinker/intellect, wonderful listener and storyteller. Nick loved politics and often engaged in debates and dialectical conversations, both formal and informally. He knew the art of getting along with all political parties to the degree that he was encouraged to run for the House of Representatives in Pennsylvania. He never pursued a formal political career, however, due to his commitment to education and his family. Nick did serve as the President of the Italian Sons and Daughters Association, Capri Lodge and served in many leadership positions that involved political venues and sensitivities. Nick was a patriot to the end. He served as a Naval Air Technician in the Navy in WWII from 1943-1946, witnessed the deaths of his service friends and peers, and continued to honor the lives of servicemen and women who devoted their lives to keep Americans safe. A United States Flag, honoring his service, flew over the United States Capitol on September 11, 2012. Nick lived a good life and always felt blessed to have his family, friends and colleagues as well as the life experiences presented to him over the 90 years of his life. Many will miss him dearly. His presence and influence will remain. He made the lives of others better. The family asks that donations be made to the Great Friends Charities, 9416 Copper Rock Court, Naples, FL 34120. Great Friends is an organization that was brought together through friendship working in concert for the betterment of mankind. www.hartfuneralhomeinc.com Send condolences post-gazette.com/gb

STEINMAN ARNOLD M., M.D. AGE 8...
STEINMAN ARNOLD M., M.D. Age 88, passed away peacefully on September 3, 2014, in St. Joseph, Michigan. His wife of 30 years, Tori Gilroy, was at his side. A devoted, loving husband and father, he is survived by his wife, Victoria Gilroy; sons, David (Rachel) Steinman, Richard (Vicki March) Steinman, and Paul (Carol) Steinman; stepdaughters, Amy Force, Sara (John) Madison, and Jane Pezua; sister, Marilyn (Richard) Cook; brother, Paul (Sandi) Steinman. He will be greatly missed by his 12 grandchildren, Devorah, Akiva, Benyamin, Chanie, Woody, Max, Mollie, Jack, Trevor, Nolan, Dakota, and Hudson; as well as his, many great- grandchildren, nieces, nephews, and friends. Arnold was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on June 26, 1926 to Dr. David and Anna (Miller) Steinman. In 1952, he received his medical degree from the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine. Arnold began his pediatric career as a Captain in the U.S. Army from 1952-1954. He then established his own pediatric practice in the South Hills area which eventually grew to include seven more physicians. Dr. Steinman was affiliated with St. Clair Hospital and Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh. Multiple generations of families in Pittsburgh will fondly remember Dr. Steinman as a gentle, devoted pediatrician, who always had a smile. He regarded his staff and patients as his larger family for the 45 years of his practice. He was also instrumental in the formation of Pediatric Alliance, an organization that supports the goal of helping pediatricians operate a practice independently of the large hospital systems. Dr. Steinman served as president of the Alliance from 1995-1997. Arnold will also be remembered for his lifelong passion for jazz. He was a talented musician who played the clarinet and the alto saxophone. In his younger years, he formed a band that toured various states as well as the Pittsburgh area. His other interests included watching the Pittsburgh Steelers and following the stock market. After he retired in 1996, he and his wife divided their time between Pittsburgh and their cottage on Lake Michigan. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him, especially his family and the large circle of friends who loved and admired him. A private family memorial service will be held at a later date. Memorials may be made in Michigan to Hospice at Home or Al-Van Humane Society. In Pennsylvania, they may be made to St. Clair Hospital or Western Pennsylvania Humane Society.

SAVOL EVA OLGA Age 80, died peacefully at Consulate Health Center, Cheswick, PA on August 28, 2014. Daughter of Olga Savol and Jaroslav Julius Savol; survived by her brother, Andrej Martin Savol of Washington state. Born in Dolna Stubna, Slovakia, where the Savol family had lived until they were forced to flee during WWII because the father was determined that his family would never live under communism. The family immigrated to Penn Hills under the sponsorship of Turners Dairy. Eva graduated from Penn Hills High School, attended Point Park College, graduated from the University of Pittsburgh, becoming a high school German language teacher. She had been a longtime smoker, eventually leading to lung cancer. Miraculously, UPMC's chemotherapy eliminated the tumor and she lived cancer- free for her last 12 years, having finally stopped smoking. Her immune system's reaction to the cancer produced severe peripheral neuropathy causing her to be severely disabled for life. Funeral arrangements WILLIAM F. GROSS FUNERAL HOME.
