Dear Helen and Family,

My most heartfelt sympathy goes out to you and your families at this most difficult time. I’m so sorry that I couldn’t attend the services, as Stojan was considered family, Masonic brother, a true Southside Serb and co-worker to the Kosanovich and Karaica families.

With deepest regrets for you loss,

Ronald Kosanovich

Dear Maravich Family:

I was sorry to learn of the loss of your dear husband, father & grand father.

Since leaving Pittsburgh some 25 years ago, I rarely get the chance to return for a visit.

But, I was glad to see "Stich" when I attended Holy Trinity Church in 2004. We shared a few laughs about the old SNF basketball days.

May his memory be eternal!

I met Stich and his brother Sam when I joined the piledrivers union. They both encouraged new people coming into the business. Stich was well respected in our trade. God Bless Him and May He Rest In Peace. Sincerely George Siebert
