By obits

 

John J. Andrejchak, 82, of Elizabeth Township, passed away peacefully at home Monday, March 11, 2024, surrounded by his loving family. John was one of four children of John Andrejchak of Slovakia and Mary (Lenart) Andrejchak of West Mifflin. In addition to his parents, John was preceded in death by his brother, Richard of Dravosburg. John was a member of Saints Joachim and Anne Parish in Elizabeth Township. He was employed his entire life in the steel and coke industry, first at J&L Steel and then later at LTV Steel. John lived a quiet and family-centered life. He was a model Lionel train collector and loved sharing his displays with his grandchildren, Anastasia Andrejchak and Maryn Hilliard, his great-nephews, Josh and Michael Muehlbauer, and great-niece, Georgia Smith. John enjoyed 1950s music – the oldies – and the years spent at his family camp in Slippery Rock. John is survived by his wife of 54 years, Pauline (Naperatz) Andrejchak; son, Scott Andrejchak of Penn Hills; daughter, Lisa Andrejchak of Elizabeth Township; sisters, Mary Agnes Sakanich and Audrey Jukubovics; nieces, Melanie Naperatz Muehlbauer and Anita Jakubovics Smith; and nephews, Duane Sakanich, Jim Sakanich, Ricky Andrejchak, Jeff Andrejchak and Joey Naperatz. A special thank you to Family Hospice and Palliative Care, especially Tracey and Tela and Dr. Richard Toth for their loving care and support. Per John’s request, visitation, blessing and burial were private. Arrangements were handled by the Paul E. Bekavac Funeral Home, Elizabeth.
