Ronald J. Russitano Jr.

Ron Russitano Jr., 58, of Pittsburgh, PA, passed away on Tuesday, September 19, 2023.

He was born in Pittsburgh on March 16, 1965 to Ron & Carol Russitano, a superhero from day one. He was deeply enthusiastic about his life’s many passions.  Owner of Phantom of the Attic since 1986, Athletic Commissioner, builder of communities, and a true Pittsburgh Legend.  Ron was a generous, warm, safe, loving, kind-hearted person to everyone he met – and a hilarious prankster.  He never lost his excitement for the little things; he lived a full life.
