John Dennis Wasko, 82, of Rostraver Township, formerly of Forest Hills and North Braddock, died at his home on Friday, April 26, 2024. Born in Braddock on Nov. 14, 1941, he was the son of the late Albert and Tillie Dennis Wasko. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his sister, Claudia Wasko. John was the loving husband of Judith Comer Wasko; they, along with their entire family, celebrated their 60th anniversary in January 2024. In addition to his wife, surviving are his daughters, Carolyn (Michael) Lombardo, Sharon (Michael) Skoff and Anita (Steve) Carr; grandchildren, Melissa (Devin) Wright, Nicholas (Lexi) Skoff, Jason Carr and Eric Carr; and his great-grandson, Victor. John was a 1959 graduate of Scott High School and a graduate of Pittsburgh Technical Institute, becoming a draftsman. He worked for numerous companies during his career and owned his own business. Everyone who knew John knew that he loved to golf, belonging to several golf leagues over the years. He and Judy also loved to travel and spent time in Hilton Head for many winters. He was an avid fan of the Pittsburgh Panthers basketball team and the Pittsburgh Steelers. His great sense of humor and wit will be missed. Raise a drink for John at the end of your next round of golf! A private family service was held at JAMES C.
