Richard loved fishing, playing golf, traveling, and spending time with friends and family. He was also an avid Pittsburgh sports fan. He especially enjoyed hunting with his son and spending time outdoors. Some of his favorite moments were sitting by the fire and spending time on his boat at the lake. He cherished time with his grandchildren and making memories with those he loved. Those who knew him will always remember his hour-long stories and his famous “shortcuts” on car rides. He was a loving husband, father, son, brother, uncle, and grandfather. He will be missed dearly by his family and many friends.

Ed Shewak, 77, of New Brighton, passed away at Passavant Hospital in McCandless on March 10th, 2026. He was born in Rochester on September 13th, 1948, the son of the late Edward Sr. and Ann (Sergi) Shewak. He is survived by his wife of 55 years, Cathy (Marzio), his daughters, Jennifer (Bryan) of Paeonian Springs, Virginia, Allison (Josh) of Beaver, Courtney of Gainesville, Virginia, and Ashley of Beaver Falls and his grandchildren: Cameron, Colin, Vivian, Violet, Ella, Gianna, and Kaymin.

Ed was a man who knew his values and lived by them every day. He was a fair and honest man in business and in life. He was a faithful Catholic and could be expected every Sunday at 7:30 mass at Saints Peter and Paul (Our Lady of the Valley Parish). His parents started Shewak Distributor in 1950 from their garage in North Rochester. His parents expanded the business to the current location and built a nice home to raise him. He graduated from Rochester High School in 1966 and then started college at Edinboro State College with his high school sweetheart, Cathy. In his time there, he was always involved in student affairs and helped create changes in student government. He received a degree in Psychology and used this knowledge in his everyday interactions with customers and business acquaintances. Upon graduating from college, he joined the Air National Guard. He worked at the 171^st Cmbt. Spt. Group in Coraopolis. He continued to expand Shewak Distributor to where it is today. He had a great work ethic. He could be seen every day on Virginia Avenue driving the forklift back and forth waving to the people going up and down the road. Working with him meant a sales call would turn from 5 minutes to 30. He could give a history lesson about the beer industry but would also give the best advice about business and life.  He was a wealth of knowledge and cared very much about the people he dealt with. He was a mentor to many people in this business. He loved going to Charleston with Cathy every month to his second home.  He enjoyed the many restaurants, friends, and beaches. He loved sitting in his beach chair taking in the sun. There he could rest and relax, knowing that his daughter, Allison, was taking good care of the business. Ed was very proud of Allison and loved working with her every day. The family wishes to thank all the nurses and doctors at Passavant Hospital for their kindness and exceptional care.  Words cannot express our thanks for the wonderful people involved in hospice care who watched and prayed over him. A memorial gathering will be held on Sunday, March 15th from 2-6 P.M. at Huntsman Funeral Home and Cremation Services in Rochester, 502 Adams Street, Rochester, who was in charge of his arrangements. Family and friends are invited to celebrate his life at 10 A.M. for a memorial Mass at Saints Peter and Paul Church, 200 3rd Street, Beaver on Monday, March 16th, followed by a luncheon at The Standard in Bridgewater, 1462 Riverside Drive, Beaver.
