RICHARD 'DICK' STITT
MCDONALD - Richard “Dick” Stitt, 83, went to dwell in the house of the Lord on Tuesday, March 8, 2016, from his home with his family by his side.
Richard was born March 27, 1932, in Altoona, Pa., a son of the late Millard C. and Martina Wombacher Stitt, and came to McDonald in 1950.
Dick was a 1950 graduate of Barnesboro High School in Barnesboro, Pa., and served in the U.S. Army from 1952 to 1957. As a young man, he worked on the railroad in Altoona, and later went to work for East Ohio Gas Company in Warren, retiring in 1997.

Mr. Stitt was a devoted family man, and he greatly enjoyed attending sports activities and visiting family in Pennsylvania. He also loved to cook, and he hosted weekly Sunday dinners for all of his family and for anyone who came to visit. He made the best gravy in town, and all were welcome at his table.
