Brad Catalano Obituary
He was born May 9, 1959, in DuBois, a beloved son of Arch F. and Nancy L. Catalano of Rossiter.
Mr. Catalano graduated from Punxsutawney High School and Bethany College with a degree in communication where he was a proud member of the Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity.
In 1981, he married Kathryn Molinengo, his college sweetheart. In 1989, Mr. and Mrs. Catalano moved to Washington, where they raised their three children.
He spent most of his career working as an executive trainer for 84 Lumber, before moving on to a position at Bank of America in Pittsburgh.
Mr. Catalano loved fishing, spending time at his family's camp in Potter County, and feeding the deer, birds and ducks that often congregated in his backyard.
Surviving, in addition to his wife and parents, are three cherished children, Angela Holbert (Andrew), Emily Catalano (Robert Mancini) and Eric Catalano; a brother, William Catalano (Karen); a brother-in-law, William (Virginia) Molinengo and family; and a sister-in-law, Elaine Molinengo.
