Roger Garth Cooling, Jr., 80, of Baden, passed away on December 2nd, 2025, at Concordia at Villa St. Joseph in Baden. He was born in Beaver Falls on May 15th, 1945, the son of the late Roger Garth Cooling, Sr., and Wilma Jean (Liller) Eisenhute.

Roger began his lifelong love of the Pittsburgh Pirates in 1954 as a small boy which then opened up his passion for sports that became part of his identity for over seven decades. He was an avid baseball and autograph collector who found joy in stories, the history and simple nostalgia of it all. He received a bachelor’s degree in science from Slippery Rock University where he received his teaching certificate. He had a love for the English language, whether teaching it to High school students, writing poetry or listening to music with poignant lyrics. His favorite bird, the red winged blackbird, always brought him back to another favorite hobby, fishing. The sound of the bird calls brought him back to quiet mornings fishing along the streams. He also shared his love of fishing with his family. He was a devoted and caring grandfather (pap) he loved each grandchild for who they were and embraced them in their uniqueness. His booming voice and crazy excursions and sense of wonder, gregarious nature and overall zest for adventure in life is his legacy.

Norris Neale Moegerle (Non), 79, passed away on November 30th, 2025. He was born in Beaver Falls on October 10th, 1946, a son of the late Philip and Dorothy (Powell) Moegerle.

He shared the family home with his loving siblings, Gary (Jane) Moegerle, Gil Moegerle (deceased) and Deni Moegerle (Steve) Corbett. His life embodied a decision he made over 60 years ago to follow Jesus. Norris’ relationship with his Savior was reflected in his interaction with his family, his church, and his work.  Three words come to mind when one reflects on Non’s life…love, service, and laughter.

No one loved bigger and better than Norris. He cared for and treasured his wife of over 54 years, Jan (Futato) Moegerle. He loved Jan as Christ loves the church; selflessly and with his whole heart.  He adored his son Eric and his wife, Daika. He treasured his precious daughter Amy, and there was a special place in his heart for grandchildren Dominick, Madison, Sydney, and Graison.  Whether cheering on their sporting events (loudly at times), or taking trips to Wildwood, making paintbrush cookies, telling family stories, or reading The Night Before Christmas, Papa was enthusiastically involved in their lives.

Norris lived a life of service. When asked why he continued to run his business, Adams Janitorial Service, for 50 years, he would reply “I just love the people”. The people loved him.  As he was working, an infectious smile and engaging conversation always ensued. His life further demonstrated service during his army tour in Vietnam, where he served honorably, proudly, and with distinction. He readily and happily served his church family as a member of the Christmas choirs, drama teams, other musical groups, as well as the gregarious leader of the Information Center at Pathway Church in Beaver Falls. He was also active in the Crossroads ABF. Norris also had a boisterous laugh. From around the corner, one could tell when he was involved in a conversation, sometimes laughter, when telling a story, or other times, tears as he lamented the latest woes of the Pirates or Steelers. However, it always came with enthusiasm and vigor.

Mostly however, Norris lived a life of service to Jesus. Since giving his heart to Christ as a young man, Norris’ greatest joy was bringing testimony to the latest blessing of God.  Even in the midst of his terminal illness, he kept his eye on the prize set before him. To the end of his life, he exemplified the words of the old hymn, “To God be the glory, great things He has done.”

Friends will be received on Friday, December 5th from 1-3 p.m. & 5-7 p.m. at the GABAUER-LUTTON FUNERAL HOME & CREMATION SERVICES, INC., 117 Blackhawk Road, Beaver Falls, who was in charge of his arrangements. A funeral service to honor Norris’ life will also be held on Saturday, December 6th at 3:30 p.m. at Pathway Church, 239 Braun Road, Beaver Falls with Pastor Jeff McNicol officiating and friends will be received at 2:30 p.m. one hour prior to services at the church.

In lieu of flowers the family requests that contributions be made in Norris’ name to Pathway Church, 239 Braun Road, Beaver Falls PA 15010.

Private interment will be in Beaver Cemetery, Buffalo Street, Beaver.
