Henry Bachorski Obituary

We lost a great and caring man among us today. Our dad, Henry, passed away quietly at home Sunday, Jan. 23, 2022, with his family at age 94. He valued family above all else. He always thought of others instead of himself. Henry loved sports and was an avid Steelers, Pirates, Penguins and Pitt fan and loved playing golf, up to age 90. Henry started and managed the first girl's CYO softball and basketball teams for St. John the Baptist Church in Plum. Henry was a longtime employee of the Giant Eagle supermarket chain. Hank proudly served in the Army. Henry was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Betty (Sturchio); his parents, Michael and Bernice (Kubiszewski); sister, Ann (Greengard); and brothers, Edward, Michael, and Chester. Henry was loved by his children, Tom (Joanie, deceased), Linda Carr (Jim), Henry (Denise) and Ron (Lori). He was also loved by his 11 grandchildren and 11 great-grandchildren. He will always be in our hearts. You don't mourn someone loved as much as Henry was. You celebrate. If you are reading this, find your loved ones and celebrate. Friends will be received from 4 to 8 p.m. Wednesday at SOXMAN FUNERAL HOMES LTD./ROTH CHAPEL, 7450 Saltsburg Road (at Universal Road), Penn Hills, where a blessing service will be held at 10 a.m. Thursday. Interment will be in Plum Creek Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, please make a donation in Henry's name to your local food bank or St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, www.stjude.org.

I have many found memories of visiting the Bachorski household in my youth and Mr and Mrs B were the best. Mr B had a great sense of humor and taught me what a "nudnick" was. My sincerest condolences to the family.

I learned to play basketball from Mr. Bachorski as a member of the St. John the Baptist CYO team - I must have been in middle school so 50 some years ago. I rem mover him as a kind and patient man, with a passion to teach the fundamentals of the game and good sportsmanship. God´s blessings to his family.

Mr. Bachorski was my coach when I played for St John the Baptist´s CYO team - I must have been in late grade school or middle school. I remember him being kind, gentle and passionate about teaching us both the fundamental of the game but also sportsmanship. God´s blessings to his family.
