Robert N. Stanutz

December 8, 2021

Robert “Bob” Nicholas Stanutz, of Monroeville, PA., passed away on Wednesday, December 8, 2021, at home. He was born on August 3, 1941, in Hammond, Indiana to the late Nicholas and Adeline Stanutz (nee Gostylo). A proud Boilermaker, he graduated from Purdue University in 1963 with a degree in Metallurgical Engineering. Immediately after graduation he went on to work for Westinghouse, where he spent his entire career. He often said that when he evaluated his options, he looked at Pittsburgh and decided that it was far enough, but not too far, from home, had access to professional sports and theater while still possessing a smaller town feel. He never regretted his choice. Bob told great stories, and he had many. He was a fisherman, a golfer, a softball player, a history buff, a crossword puzzle and Free Cell enthusiast, a musical theater aficionado, and an avid sports fan who held season tickets to the Pirates for 15 years and to the Steelers for over 40 years. He taught his children to never leave a game early, even if it was below freezing. He is survived by his wife of 43 years, Mary; his children, Katie (Jamison Kantor), Ed, and Sara; his dog, Raffi; his granddog, Morty; his brothers, Ed (Annette) and Don (Sandy); and his sister, Sandy (Tim) Schitter. Friends are invited to attend a Celebration of Life gathering to tell stories and celebrate Bob’s life on Monday, December 13, 2021, from 11 a.m. until 2 p.m. at the Wooden Nickel, 4006 Berger Lane, Monroeville.
