David Benjamin Wolk
Age 48, passed away in his sleep on Thursday April 27th, 2017. David was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on October 30th, 1968. He is the beloved brother of Matthew and Taylor Linaburg, son of Judith Linaburg and stepson of Ronald Linaburg, son of Richard Wolk (Patty), grandson of the late John and Marie Karlovich, and grandson of the late Abe and Mildred Wolk. He is survived by ex-wife Molly Savolskis, uncle John Karlovich and uncle David Wolk (Beth).

David graduated from Mt. Lebanon High School, and developed a passion for the restaurant industry. He was one of the owners of Grand Slam Pizza & Wings in Mt. Lebanon, with wings being one of his specialties. His wings were some of the best in Pittsburgh, as he and his team won the Great Wing Cookoff for multiple years. David enjoyed honing his cooking skills, and always won the turkey-cookoff within his family during Thanksgiving. His love of sunshine, warmer weather, and golf led him to relocate to Scottsdale, Arizona, where he worked within the restaurant and golf industries. We picture him enjoying the sun on a golf course, drinking a Coca-Cola (he was known as Coca-Cola Dave). He will always be remembered for his kindness, care, loyalty and love for family, friends and his dogs Norman and Lola.

There will be no funeral services held as per his request. In memory of David, donations can be made to the Pittsburgh Emergency Medicine Foundation, located at 230 McKee Pl. Suite 500. Pittsburgh, PA 15213. Attn: Beth Wolfe, to be directed for Research. William Slater II Funeral Service, Scott Twp, entrusted with arrangements.
