STEPHEN J. NICOTRA

NICOTRA STEPHEN J.

Age 55, of Mars, formerly of Shaler Twp., passed away unexpectedly on Friday, December 7, 2018. He held a B.S. in Business and Accounting from Pitt and a M.S. in Finance from Robert Morris. Steve was Vice President of Finance and Chief Financial Officer for Oxford Development in Pittsburgh, where he had worked since 1991. Steve adored his wife and children. He loved to go to his kids' sporting events or just stay home and sit on the floor to play and build. His love extended to his nieces and nephews, whom he always made laugh. He was always willing to drop everything and serve friends and family in any way they needed. And when he wasn't watching a Steelers game, you often found him working on projects around the house and sharing lessons with the kids. He loved to work with his hands, doing things like gardening, building an ice rink in the yard for his kids, or renovating another part of their home to make progress on his honey-do list for his loving wife, so he could make their home just right. Steve's perfectly timed sense of humor was always just right for brightening up a room. Steve was a man of faith and knew he would be joining God in heaven after his temporary time on earth.

(Bonita) Nicotra and Shari (Christian) Roth; son-in-law of James L. and Peggy Harshaw, Sr.; brother-in-law of Michele Harshaw and James L. (Allison) Harshaw, Jr.; also many nieces and nephews.
