Alfredo Alaysa “Big Fred” Calub, Sr., 53, of North Huntingdon, passed away unexpectedly at home on Saturday, November 8, 2025. He was born on June 21, 1972, in Manila, Philippines, and was the son of the late Antonio Calub, Sr., and Visitacion (Alaysa) Calub Maxwell, and was the stepson of the late Robert Lee Maxwell.

He attended Praise Assembly Church in North Versailles, and was an active member of Boy Scouts Troop 257 in Irwin. He was also the former treasurer for The Filipino American Association of Pittsburgh. He was known for his generous spirit and joyful personality, “Big Fred” was a friend to everyone he met, and considered himself the unofficial mayor and mascot of Greensburg. He had a lifelong love of basketball, playing in church leagues, Pittsburgh leagues, and Norwin leagues. He was also passionate about cooking, and his famous egg rolls, adobo, and pancit were always a hit with family and friends. A devoted husband, father, and grandfather, Alfredo was a proud “baseball dad,” coached flag football, and served as an official for his daughter’s swim team. He had a gift for turning anything into a game and was truly a big kid at heart. He was an adoring Grandfather, who was affectionately known as "Lolo".
