Harry S. Lochbaum

Harry S. Lochbaum, age 83, passed away peacefully on Saturday, January 10, 2026, surrounded by his loving family.
He was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on June 3, 1942, a son of the late Harry and Celestine (Schaff) Lochbaum. He was also lovingly supported by his late stepfather, Pat Rohaly. In addition to his parents, Harry was preceded in death by a brother, Kenneth Lochbaum.
Harry was a proud United States Navy veteran, having honorably served his country aboard the USS Saratoga. Following his military service, he built a life defined by hard work and independence.

Harry also loved carpentry and working with his hands, finding joy and purpose in creating and fixing things throughout his life. A well-known hobby of Harry's was hand rolling cigars.
Above all, Harry was a devoted family man whose steady presence, kindness, and practical wisdom left a lasting impact on all who knew him.
