Eldest son of Frank and Gladys Schultz Walasik, Sr. of Scott Township, PA. He attended CCAC and the University of Pittsburgh where he continued his education. Frank worked as a mechanical engineer, electrician, and carpenter. He was a member of the IASTE Local 489, where he built movie sets for Hollywood blockbuster films. Frank's favorite movie sets included Hoffa, Striking Distance and Shawshank Redemption. Frank was also a member of the Carpenters Local Union 142 for fifteen years. It is with pride that Frank felt most at home while working alongside his comrades at Burchick Construction Company, Inc. Frank's enthusiasm and love of motorcycles, cars, hunting and fishing remain treasured gifts within our hearts, along with the much-loved stories of the "big one" that got away. Frank will be lovingly remembered by the love of his life Marcy, his cherished wife of 25 years; and his most beloved children, Amanda, Anthony, Jonathan, and Jessica Walasik, of South Fayette Township. Frank will also be fondly remembered by his brothers Donald Walasik, of West Mifflin, PA, Terry Walasik of Avella, PA; and mother-in-law, Virginia Handerhan Hohn of Carnegie, PA.
