Salvatore A. Ortenzo, age 91, of McMurray, PA, formerly of Penn Hills, PA, passed away unexpectedly, but peacefully, in his sleep at home with family on Friday, August 24, 2018. Born on December 7, 1926, he was the son of the late Elizabeth and Anthony Ortenzo. Beloved husband of Concetta “Connie” Ortenzo. Loving father of Janet Ortenzo, Anthony “Tony” (Cindy) Ortenzo, Carole Ortenzo, and Linda Ortenzo. Cherished grandfather to Michael, Claire, Dominic, and Grace Ortenzo. He was preceded in death by his siblings Dorothy Ortenzo, Rita (Thomas “Rocky”) Ortenzo Denne, and Robert (Betty) Ortenzo. He was also blessed with many nieces and nephews.

 

Sal was a devoted husband of nearly 66 years and a loving father, grandfather, uncle, and friend. A proud World War II Army veteran, he was a respected and admired business owner, baseball coach, and lifelong member of the Catholic faith.  He also was an avid bowler and sports fan. Sal inspired everyone he met with his decency, goodness, and generosity of spirit. He was a blessing to all who knew him and a light of our lives.

Family and friends are welcome on Tuesday, August 28, 2018 from 2 PM- 4 PM and 6 PM – 8 PM at Cremation and Funeral Care, 3287 Washington Road, McMurray, PA 15317. A Mass of Christian burial will be held on Wednesday, August 29, 2018 at 10 AM at St. Benedict the Abbot, 120 Abington Drive, McMurray, PA 15317.

Our deep condolences to you Tony, Cindy and the entire family. Our thoughts are with you these days. We didn‘t know Sal on a personal level, but aged 91, his life surely was rich and fulfilled. So being an Italian, it might be appropriate to paraphrase Michelangelo on Sal‘s behalf: I am not dead. I‘m just changing rooms. I live within you. And walk through your dreams.

"So every good tree bears good fruit" Sincere condolences to you, Janet. I never knew your father, but I'm certain he is a good, Godly man. "for the tree is known by its fruit." May God continue to bless your father, and your family.

I was so privileged to have worked for Sal when I was in high school and college. He was a great teacher and very kind. I will always remember him as one of the greatest bosses I ever had.
