Living away for more years than living in the Burgh makes the Ruscitto family reunion, 2009, all that more special... Getting to see Unclc Teffy and Aunt Monique and the family members that were there was a reaffirmation of life for me at that period of time.. I will always remember you as the "Service Man" coming home way back when..
My deepest sympathies to the entire Podkrajac family...

Such a good man and the perfect uncle. Kind to us and always made time to see us whenever we were back home in PA. I'm sure all the siblings were waiting with open arms in heaven. No more suffering. Rest in peace, we love you.
Your niece Patty, Jim & Austin Hunt

My Uncle Teffy was always a solid family man and extrremely proud of his service to his country. Though I've lived away from the area for many years, I've always felt close to he & Monique. I miss you very much 'Unc' and will probably continue to chat with you occasionally.

A great guy skilled with so many talents from everyday duties to brilliance in various building and electrical skills. Newly commanded the computer and photo copying passing around family heritage CD's to all at family reunions so that we might remain a close family unit. We will miss him dearly.
