    Dear Chalovich family, I am very saddened to see that Wayne has passed. I worked with Wayne at PJAX for 13 years, first when we were in sales together and then when he was the manager of collections. Wayne was as nice a guy as you'd ever hope to meet and know. He was a funny, upbeat guy who almost always wore a smile. I remember him being a man who loved his family first and foremost, and treated everyone else the same way. Prayers, kind thoughts and hugs for the entire Chalovich family.

    Wayne had a zest for living. Forever young, hopeful, positive, fun, and funny. He was easy to love! Our hearts are saddened that he no longer will 'coach' the Steelers, Pirates, and Penguins. The phones are silenced and our hearts are heavy. A competitive card player, he'll be amongst the old guard (in another realm), joyfully biding, and calling😇RIP

    Bonnie and family, I am so very sorry for your loss. I know we haven't seen each other for a long time, but we have many happy memories with you all. We will be moving back to Pittsburgh for the summers and I hope we can reconnect. Our family is getting smaller and smaller to quickly. Love and prayers 💕🙏😇 Jeannie and Fred Vanore
