Ronald J. Truskowski, age 76, of Herman, passed away Sunday at his residence.

Born April 19, 1940 in Sewickley, PA, he was a son of the late Stanley Adam and Edna Rose Kurdorko Truskowski.

Ronald spent most of his earlier life in Coraopolis, PA. He was a devoted Catholic, a hard and conscientious worker, and a great family man. Although he had no children of his own, he loved his nieces, nephews, and cousins.

He was employed for 40 years in manufacturing, including more than 25 years as a master machine operator at the St. Joe Paper Company in McKees Rocks, PA. He also served as a local union official for much of his career.

Ronald traveled and visited many Catholic shrines around the world after his retirement, and he was a generous donor to the Catholic Church and its many charities.

He spent his later years in Herman, where he was an active member of Saint Mary of the Assumption Roman Catholic Church. He belonged to the R.C. Men's Club and the YMCA.

Ronald is survived by his brother, Stanley Truskie; sister-in-law, Marianne Truskie; nieces Lynn Truskie Williams, Dianne Graf and Joanne Truskowski; nephews Craig Truskie, Brian Truskie and Leon Truskowski; grandnephews Justin Truskowski, Christian Truskowski, John Truskowski, Nathan Graf, Daniel Graf and James Graf; great-grandnephew Landon Truskowski; and his dear friend, Diane Carpenter Lansberry.

Friends will be received in the Martin Funeral Home, Inc., 429 Center Ave., Butler, on Wednesday from 6 p.m. – 8 p.m.

A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on Thursday at 10 a.m. from St. Mary of the Assumption Roman Catholic Church, with the Rev. Ward Stakem, OFM Cap., pastor, officiating.

Burial will take place in St. Mary's Cemetery.
