LEE HALVERSON Obituary
Age 74, of Cranberry Township, passed away on Sunday, February 24, 2013, while in the comfort of his home surrounded by his family. Born November 14, 1938 in Troy, NY, he was the son of Emily Benedict Grey of Cranberry Township and the late Alfred Halverson. Lee was a pilot in the U.S. Air Force and then flew commercial for 30 years. He will be remembered by those he loved as a true Renaissance man who relished working with his hands, but above all, as a man who cherished the time spent with his family. He leaves behind to cherish his memory, his adoring wife of 39 years, Patricia (McGaughey) Halverson; his three loving children, Robert Halverson and his wife, Lynne, Emily Benedict Gascoyne and her husband, Peter and Trygve Lee Halverson and his wife, Kristin; his five grandchildren, Jessica, Joshua and Lee Benedict, and Jake and Jesse Halverson; and his two great-grandchildren, Sebastian and Avery. In addition to his father, Lee was preceded in death by his brother, Roger Halverson. Services and interment will be held privately by Lee's family. Funeral arrangements were entrusted to the GLENN - KILDOO FUNERAL HOME & CREMATION SERVICES, INC., 130 Wisconsin Avenue, Cranberry Township. Online condolences at:

Patty,
I am not sure if you will remember Dan and I.....we had the pleasure of meeting you both when Dan painted one of Lee's bikes. We are so very sad to have learned of Lee's death and hope that God may help guide you through this terrible loss. You are in our thoughts and prayers. (We just learned of your loss today thru Linda Musgrave as she fills in at my office).
Sincerely
Dan and Deb Wallace
