Like a true fisherman, Thomas Maldonado passed away on the morning of June 14, 2022, in Pittsburgh. He was the son of the late Albino Maldonado and Cecilia (Kelly) Yniguez and the husband of Patricia (Ackerman) Maldonado. Thomas was best known for his love of fishing and would never miss an opportunity to pass on his true passion for catching the biggest fish. His nearly perfect attendance at the annual Lake Emily Fishing Derby was one of his greatest adventures. He would take his children, grandchildren, and in later years, any neighborhood kid that wanted to attend. He enjoyed watching The Price Is Right, Wheel of Fortune, and any sporting event on tv. If anyone listened, he would tell stories of his fishin' trips while scratching off his bingo tickets. He religiously played his daily numbers, sometimes even lucky enough to win. As an Army Veteran and retiree from Riverside Nursing Home, his stories traveled throughout the years and touched many people.

Paul Adam Blazeck, 62, beloved son and brother, died peacefully in his sleep on June 9, 2022. Paul was born on May 18, 1960 and raised in North Versailles, PA. He graduated from East Allegheny High School in 1978.
After trying college, Paul decided to take a different path. Looking for job opportunities, Paul moved to San Jose, California in June 1983. Upon arriving, Paul worked as a construction hand, a roofer, and numerous other jobs before joining the plumbing apprenticeship program for Local 393 Plumbers and Steamfitters. He attended evening classes while doing on-the-job training to earn his plumbing license. Paul’s career in the industrial plumbing industry was well timed as he was part of the Silicon Valley boom of the 1990’s and economic growth in the San Jose area. He loved the diversity of his craft, working on everything from hotels and hospitals to sports stadiums and high-tech computer facilities for 25 years. Paul lived in the Golden State until he retired in 2015 and subsequently returned to Pittsburgh to be near family. Even so, his heart was in California and he vacationed there when he could.
Paul spread his sports loyalty between Pittsburgh and San Jose. He was both a long time Pittsburgh Steelers fan and San Jose Sharks fan, celebrating the highs and lows of each with family and friends. He was an avid reader and enjoyed playing basketball and biking, or simply relaxing.

She loved being GiGi Ru & sharing pictures of the kids with all of her friends and family. She was an avid Steeler and Penguin fan, decorating the house, dressing up and even attending a game on occasion. She enjoyed playing slot machines and their many weekend trips to the casinos. After much encouragement, she took her first cruise and enjoyed taking many more cruises thereafter, but her favorite vacations by far, were family trips to Holden Beach, NC. Over the years, she watched her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren, play in the sand and sea. Lorraine was a beautiful and special lady with a heart of gold. She was loved by many and will be missed by all.
