William HAVAS Obituary

HAVAS, William Theodore "Bill", 75, of Largo, and formerly Pittsburgh, PA, passed away on Nov. 12, 2012. A Pittsburgh Steeler celebration of his life will be held Nov. 24 with a gathering of family & friends at 2 pm and a service at 2:30 pm at The National Cremation Society, 4945 East Bay Dr., Clearwater, FL. Bill was born in Braddock, PA, on Jan. 15, 1937. After high school, he was in the Air Force and defended our nation in Korea. Upon discharge, he married his junior high sweetheart, Lee Osinski. He was a police officer for the Forest Hills Police Department and after relocating to Largo, became a Pinellas County Deputy. Bill never gave up his Pittsburgh Steeler loyalty! "Daddy" is survived by his wife of 53 years, Lee; his daughters, Shelly Hollingsworth (Greg), Tezzy Dyar (Mark) & Mickie Havas; son, Gary Havas; daughter, Tina Lambert (Chris); and grandchildren, Danielle, Brian, Courtney, RJ, Tim, Alisha, Aaron, Jordan, Landon & Tyler. Visitors at the service are invited to wear Steeler gear or his favorite black & gold colors and remember Daddy in the way he would prefer.

You were the biggest teddybear, the the most loving person, and an amazing Grandfather. No one was ever to big or small to curl up in your lap to watch TV (usually the Steelers game). Thank you for always encouraging us to be the best that we could be. I will forever treasure the many memories we had. I miss and love you so much Papa.

My sincere condolences to his loving family.

My Deepest Sympathy to everyone. I remember your Father as always loving and caring. I still remember fondly the time when you moved down to Florida. My Dad drove one of your moving trucks and I still remember Shelly driving her car down and we all slept in it at a parking lot because we could not find any hotels.......Memories I share will my own children today.
