VINCENT DEL GRECO Obituary
The halls of heaven became more joyful when Vincent (Skip) Del Greco, 78, of Whitehall, was called to leave this earthly plane on March 6, 2019 to join the executive board of Crooners and Comedians just beyond the pearly gates. Skip is survived by his three children, Carina Del Greco of Upper St. Clair, Christopher (Kimberly) Del Greco of Bridgeport, WV, and Nicholas (Adele) Del Greco of Bethel Park; along with their mother, Margaret Doerfler of Canonsburg; sister, Antonia (Hank) Hawk of Aurora, Co; step-children, Denise (Mark) Pierosh, Danny (Bobbi-Jo) Dasynich, and Dana (Jay) Fields; grandchildren, Samantha, Tomasina and Joe Lackner, and their father, Bill Lackner; Nico, Dane, and Sophia Del Greco; Rocco and Luca Del Greco; and step-grandchildren, Nicole and Tyler Pierosh. He is preceded in death by his beloved wife, Deanna Del Greco, whom he now joins to continue their beautiful duet; his loving parents, Vincent and Mary Del Greco; and crucial parts of his knees due to years of athletic wear and tear. Skip enjoyed over 38 years as a physical education teacher, as well as four decades as a dedicated and inspiring coach to countless, young athletes in the South Hills area. He was happiest enjoying a cold sip, hitting the golf course, playing softball, sharing stories, and multiplying the laughs among lifelong friends and his loving family. His kind heart was a perpetual source of joyful energy that filled every room he entered. Skip's life will be celebrated at BEINHAUERS, in Peters Township, located along Route 19, Sunday, March 10th 1-4 p.m., and 6-8 p.m., where additional visitation will be held on Monday 9:30 a.m., until time of service at 10:30 a.m. Interment to follow in Jefferson Memorial Park. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to, American Brain Foundation, www.Americanbrainfoundation.org. Please add or view tributes at:

Lifelong memories of coach D, will never be forgotten.....walking into the gym and watching his motionless iron cross on the rings, throwing pass routes before practice, our countless one on one basketball games to 7 and just being a good guy. Thank you for the memories.

From one of his many student athletes, my thoughts and prayers are with the entire Del Greco Family. Coach D was one of the most happening, cool, fun loving, and caring coaches we could have asked for. Even after we graduated, and bumped into Skip, it was the best. What a wonderful approach to life. He made a lasting impression on all of us. May God Bless Him.

Coach Del Greco was a great man and respecter of people. I had him as a teacher in school. I was not blessed in athletics but he respected you, encouraged you, believed in you, and gave his blessings to you on the field and off the field. "Well done good and faithful servant1" .

Skip / Mr. Skip was our neighbor and was always so cheerful. We would converse over the fence and he always put a smile on our face. We miss him and we keep his family in our thoughts and prayers.

I am one of the "countless, young athletes in the South Hills area" to have the privilege of having "Mr. D." as a coach and teacher. My high school years were richer as a result of having him as a positive influence -- at a time when those kind of things matter greatly to boys who are trying to grow into men.
Rest in Peace, Coach
