DAVID SALTZMAN: 90 passed away on December 25, 2024. He is survived by his loving wife of nearly 70 years Lorraine Saltzman; children Alan Saltzman (Sandy), Robert Saltzman (Joyce) and Julie Weiss; and grandchildren Jason Saltzman (Raquel), Sarah Neeland (Marc), Eric Saltzman (Ally), Jacob Saltzman, Jordan Saltzman, the late Joshua Weiss, Sean Weiss (Gina), Sarah Weiss, and Madison Weiss. David was also Grandpop to his many loving great-grandchildren and uncle to his nieces and nephews. David loved and adored Lorraine, whom he met when she was 13 years old. She was everything to him. He loved all people, especially children. He played ball with a generation of kids in Squirrel Hill and had nicknames for every single one of them. He lit up every room with his warmth and was always kind and generous. David possessed a special sense of humor that endeared him to those around him. He was an avid reader and a living encyclopedia of facts, many of which were quite unusual. He loved movies so much he could identify not only major stars, but bit players in supporting roles. He enjoyed observing nature and wildlife, feeding many animals on his long walks. Most of all he loved his family, and they fiercely loved him back. He was the last of his generation in his family and will be immensely missed. Services and Interment were Private. Contributions may be made to The Jewish National Fund, 6425 Living Place, Suite 200, Pittsburgh, PA 15206. Arrangements entrusted to Ralph Schugar Chapel, Inc. www.schugar.com

Aunt Lorraine & Family...
It seemed like just a few short years ago that \"due to circumstances beyond my control\",6 Uncle David and I first met at Jake's wedding. He was pleasant and friendly. I'll always remember his first words to me as he warmly looked at me for the first time He became teary-eyed as we shook hands and said, \"Oh God, you look just like Albert. Rest in peace, Uncle David. May your memory be a blessing to all of us. PS. Tell Albert I said "hello."
