Michael Litman Obituary

Michael Arlen Litman died Wednesday, May 19, 2021. He was the beloved husband of the late Vivian Muncaster Litman; beloved father of Dr. Teddi Ila Litman, Jody Kay Litman (Adam Greene) and Danielle Lee Litman (Colin Kelly); son of the late Sally and Eugene Litman; brother of Patricia (Dr. Richard) Katz and Katherine (Fred) Cohen; grandfather of Vivian Fain and Caleb (Bucco) Litman Kelly; and is also survived by many nieces and nephews. Michael was born in 1937 in Braddock. He attended Shadyside Academy and graduated in 1955, where he wrestled and received a scholarship to Bucknell University, then onto the University of Miami Law School, where he met his first wife and had his beautiful daughter, Teddi. In 1969, he married Vivian Muncaster, and was blessed with two beautiful daughters, Jody and Danielle. He practiced criminal defense law at the public defenders office and in private practice. Then, his father prevailed upon him to join him in his real estate business in North Versailles, which he was very successful as a real estate developer. He had a passion for sports, particularly the Pittsburgh Pirates. He often went to Spring Training in Florida, where he could root for his beloved Pirates. He loved his family and they valued the time they were able to spend with him. He will be sorely missed by everyone he was in contact with. Graveside services and interment will be held at 1 p.m. Friday at Ahavath Achim Cemetery/Forest Hills. Arrangements are entrusted to RALPH SCHUGAR CHAPEL INC., family owned and operated.

So sorry to hear of your Dad's passing. I SO enjoyed my time with him at Charles Morris. He was funny, and clever, and always had good advise. You were all a blessing to him, and he loved you all very much. Thinking of you and sending good vibes.
