Paul Thomas Sucevic – September 2, 1930 to November 8, 2021

Paul T. Sucevic, 91, entered into eternal rest on Monday, November 8, 2021 while resting peacefully at home. A long battle with dementia afforded him many years beyond that which was predicted through faith, healthy eating and close monitoring of his daily activities. Anyone who knew Paul, knew his compassion, strength and integrity was strong.

As the former President of SPK Engineering, Inc., partnered with Domenic Piccolomini and Rob Kuchar, Paul was the lead Bridge Engineer/Designer for the company that has produced many roadway and bridge projects throughout the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania for the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation, some of which have received Design Awards.

After retiring nearly 16 years ago, Paul had maintained his independence living on his own and enjoying the wonderful Laurel Mountains while living in Markleysburg, PA, a passion he had since a teenager. Paul enjoyed walking the outdoors, gardening, fishing, watching the abundant wildlife, playing and watching golf, basketball, baseball, hockey, football and several different game shows. In the evenings while spending time with his favorite great-grand doggy Theo, he would be building puzzles and playing solitaire games on his IPad consuming the hours as he enjoyed his retirement.

Paul acquired a B.S. degree in Mathematics at Saint Vincent College and a B.S. degree in Civil Engineering at Carnegie Institute of Technology. In 2012, Paul was inducted into St. Vincent Athletic Hall of Fame for basketball and also played for the Duquesne Serbs, a semi-pro team after leaving college. Paul was also a former member of St. Theresa Church in Uniontown and a life-member of ASHE Southwest and the Croatian Fraternal Union of America.

Paul is preceded  by his sister Dorothy Lipchack, Mother Mary and Father Michael Sucevic and is survived by his ex-wife Carol,  sister Cecilia Zabelsky and her family of Irwin, his daughter Michele Hajduk and her fiancé Sam McDade of Smock, grandson Michael Hajduk and his wife Tammy of Flatwoods, grand-daughter Amanda Tretinik and her husband Blake, great-grandchildren Onika, Sammy and Karter Tretinik all of Uniontown, son David Sucevic and his wife Deborah, granddaughters  Abby and Lizzy Sucevic of Hunker, care-giver/son Paul Sucevic and his wife Jayme of Markleysburg and grandson Thomas Sucevic of Beaver Falls. Dad lived a full life, and will be dearly missed by all who were close to him.

A special and well deserved thank you goes to his recent home care nurses, social workers, Chaplin and health aides from Amedysis who provided him his remaining days' care at home, and especially to his weekday care givers who have been instrumental in his well-being over the last few years.

Friends and family will be received at Stephen R. Haky Funeral Home, 603 North Gallatin Avenue Ext., Uniontown, PA, on Thursday, November 11, 2021 from 2:00pm until 5:45pm when parting prayers will be said.

Donations in lieu of flowers can be made in honor of Paul to Tunnel to Towers (t2t.org) and/or www.woundedwarriorproject.org to help the families of those who made the ultimate sacrifice protecting our country.
