GEORGE R. JUCHA Jr.

My deepest sympathy in hearing of the loss of your son.

to George and his family,

I'm not sure of the right words to say, or if there are any. I was in the white car behind you in this tragic accident. I am so, so sorry this happened. I would have given anything to be able to be at your memorial. I will never forget that night for the rest of my life, staring at our cars, praying that you were going to be ok. I pray that you did not suffer. I pray that your family is not suffering and can heal. I pray that you are at peace and are proud of the amazing legacy you have left.

with my deepest regret, I pray to you in thanks, that at 23, I can still have my life. Not a day that goes by I haven't thanked you or thought of you. I will do everything I can to celebrate your amazing life every day. I pray that one day we will meet, and I can thank you a million times over.

I have the lyrics of So Damn Lucky, "Amazing what a minute can do" tattoo'd on my foot. They played this the night of the concert. Up until this day, it had different meanings to me at different points in my life. Now I am sure of the meaning. I am sure that every time I look at it, I will be reminded of the wonderful man you are, and how life can change in a minute. I am so damn lucky, only in thanks to you.

George, may you rest in love. Thank you.

I was devastated to learn that George was the person that I knew in that horrible accident I prayed the TV reporters were saying someone else's name. George was a wonderful man! So kind, so gentle, so absolutely willing to help in any way that he could. I honestly must say that I was blessed to have known him. I believe that all who knew him at all can say the same.

My thoughts and prayers will be with your family at this time of loss. George was truly a wonderful person and will be missed by all who know him.

So sorry to hear about George's passing. I didn't know him well but he was one of the most energetic and sincere persons I have ever met. My condolences to all of his family and friends.

I have only met George a handful of times, but he seemed like a great man. Sorry for your loss.

My sincere condolences. I learned so much from George about recycling. He will be missed.

So sorry to hear of the death of George. I didn't know him well, but had two very meaningful conversations with him at two recycling conferences. It was clear to me that his parents and family meant the world to him. My mother passed recently and I am at peace as she was suffering. But George was so full of life...doesn't seem right. So much living yet to pack in....

To your family and friends I send prayers and much LoVE. I never met you. But you will always be remembered by me and many.

I am so sorry for your loss. I worked with George for years on my company's website. He was always so patient and understanding. A sweet, kind, and caring guy. He always made you feel like any problem you had was no problem at all. I will truly miss him.

George was my professor for a computer science class I took at Pitt this past fall. Honestly, I don't think I've met anyone quite like George; someone who would go out of his way, no questions asked, regardless of the time of day (or night), and for any student. I wish I had been able to talk to him a little more about life outside of teaching, but being with him for that one semester was a remarkable experience that I'll always remember.

I pray for his family and friends, and the whole Pittsburgh community. A tremendous teacher and advocate of the environment, but an even better man. Rest easy, George.

I had Professor Jucha this past year at Pitt. He was one of the best teachers I ever had. He knew how to connect with the students in a way that made them respect him, admire him, and always feel comfortable talking to him or asking for help. He also knew how to brighten his students day, whether that be giving us each Halloween goodie bags, or letting us out of class early because the weather was nice and he wanted us to enjoy it. He was such a genuinely wonderful person, you could tell he was passionate about his work and hobbies. I'm so grateful I got the chance to know him, he will be greatly missed. Prayers to all family and friends.

I worked with George several years ago. I am shocked and saddened by this loss. George was a great guy. I am very sorry for your loss. He made such a lasting, favorable impression to all who encountered. Rest easy, George.

George and Antoinette you are in my prayers, thinking of you both

Heather and I never met George but we feel incredibly connected to him. I have thought about him every day and probably will for the rest of my life. Our prayers are with his family at this incredibly difficult time.

Dearest Antoinette and George, We are so sorry for the loss of your precious son George JR. We will keep you in our prayers.

I am so sorry about George.I know how it feels to lose someone close,since my husband died 4/20/15.I went to school with Bill & am double sorry about your loses.

George and Antoinette,
My deepest sympathy for the loss of your dear son. My prayers and deepest love are with you both.

I had Professor Jucha my freshman year of college and he made the transition so much easier. He was one of the nicest teachers I have ever had. Pitt lost one of its shining stars. My prayers go out to his family.

This tragic event leaves a great void in the hearts of many. George will continue to have great influence on all of us. We will surely miss him every day. My thoughts and prayers are with your family during this difficult time.

George was the kind of person who left a positive impact on everyone that he met. I consider myself blessed that I was fortunate enough to have met George. He was simply the type of person that we should all strive to be. He will be deeply missed.....Paula & Dawson Lim

Deepest sympathy on the sudden loss of an incredibly kind and gentle person. Got to know George through his amazing Great Pyrenees, Teddy, as I work at Moon Veterinary Hospital. They were celebrities, of sorts, in Moon as they walked the township frequently and just seeing them left you with a smile. No doubt heaven is a better place with George there though the world lost a very good soul. Prayers for his family and friends to stay strong and to reconcile peace on his loss.

Antie & George and the Jucha Family, We are so sorry for your loss. I was so lucky to have met George Jr, even if it was for a brief moment. What a wonderful family I had the pleasure of meeting. Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers.

A golden heart stopped beating, Hard working hands at rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us, he only takes the best.
George Jr. may you rest in peace.

George there are no words. I trust in God that you are in paradise. My deepest condolences to your family. RIP

So sorry for your loss. You are in my thoughts and prayers. I remember growing up with both George and Joseph. What a wonderful person George was and will be truly missed.

My thoughts and prayers are with the family at this time. I did not know George but my niece was also involved in this accident. So sorry for your loss.

You will be sorely missed my friend. I will miss our discussions and your smile. My heart goes out to your family and friends because I know what a special person you were.

Praying God will hold you all close and gently ease your sorrow. We are so sorry for your loss. Sending our love Paula Lewis and Kerry Hann

So sorry to hear about your son George and Antoinette. We remember him on the skate board jump in your yard when he was about 10 years old on Crosswinds Circle. He was always so good to our 2 sons. You are all in our thoughts and prayers.

To family, Mother and Father,expressions of sorrow and loss.
Norb and Marge Andrews

Our only contact with George was when he helped set up the slide show for the St. Luke 50th reunion. But even that small interaction allowed us a glimpse into his warm and loving nature. Our heart goes out to his dear parents, George and Toni, and all of his family in this terrible, terrible loss.

Bill and Vicki Thompson

Our hearts and prayers go out to you lovely people. May God give you strength and comfort in your time of loss. Big hugs

George will be sadly missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing him. He was a kind man with a gentle nature that made you want to talk to him. He always shared words of wisdom he learned from his loving parents and he gave great hugs, just like his dad. George was a work colleague, but he was a friend as well. I will miss you my friend. Give Jackie and my mom a hug for me. May you rest in peace and may your family find the strength to carry on.

I will miss you my dear cousin and friend. You were such an amazing person and I'm glad we were able to have you in our lives. Love you so much! Jody

Antoinette, George Sr., Joseph and the rest of the Jucha family and friends we send our love as you celebrate the life of our dear George Jr. George was such a loving and warmhearted man who will always be remembered with such admiration and fondness.

Always a smile, instead of a frown,
Always a hand, when one is down,
Always true, thoughtful and kind,
Wonderful memories he left behind.

Sending our love to you all across the miles.

Jackie & Jack Dzerouian.
