Obituary:

Richard (“Dick”) Mark Matovich, 81, of Rostraver Township, passed away on July 19, 2018 with his family by his side.  He was born on August 14, 1936, son of the late Mark and Eleanor Matovich of McKees Rocks.  Dick graduated from California University of Pennsylvania in 1962 and earned master’s degrees from both Duquesne University and the University of Pittsburgh.  He served in the U.S. Army, was an industrial arts teacher and school librarian in his early career, and dedicated 27 years of work at California University of Pennsylvania. Dick also enjoyed traveling, golfing and model trains, but he cherished times spent with his family the most.  He played golf in every state, while driving across the country multiple times with his wife. 

Dick is survived by his loving wife of 48 years, Mary Murray Matovich; two children, Mark Richard Matovich of New Stanton and Melanie Lynn Matovich of Cecil; one grandson, Brock Matthew Matovich, also of New Stanton; sister-in-law Elizabeth Murray of Murrysville; brother- and sister-in-law Don and Arlene Murray, nephews Marc (Heather) Murray and Jeff (Nickie) Murray and their families, all of Mt. Lebanon; and two granddogs.  He will be deeply missed.
