John L. Wasserman, age 85, of New Galilee, PA, passed away the late evening of June 17, 2026, at Allegheny General Hospital.

Born Sept. 26, 1940, in New Castle, PA, he was the son of the late Paul S. and Virginia G. (Garner) Wasserman.

On Oct. 30, 1964, he married his beloved wife of 61 years, Donna L. (Roginski) Wasserman. Mrs. Wasserman survives at home.

John proudly served his country in the United States Army as a member of the 82nd Airborne Division. Following his military service, he was employed for many years at B&W Steel Mill, where he worked in the melt shop until his retirement.

During the summer months, he could often be found tending his vegetable garden, taking great pride in his harvest. Above all else, John cherished his family. Nothing brought him greater joy than attending and supporting his daughters' and grandchildren's sporting events.
