JOSEPH SAWDAI: On Monday, January 20, 2025. Beloved husband of the late Eileen Sawdai. Loving father of Mike Sawdai (Johanna), Terri Sokoloff (Ned), and step-daughter Karen LaFlamme. Son of the late Heskel and Ivy Sawdayee. Grandfather to Zachary and Sidney. Cherished brother of Albert, Shirley, Claret, the late Lilly, and the late Sasson. Also survived by many nieces and nephews. 

Joseph was a dedicated employee at U.S. Steel for 25 years, where he formed lasting relationships with colleagues and made a meaningful impact through his work. Outside of his professional life, Joseph had a profound love for nature. He spent countless hours fishing at North Park Lake, often accompanied by friends and family. Gardening was another of his great passions-his backyard was a testament to his hard work and love of the outdoors.

Joseph was deeply involved in his faith and was an active member of his local synagogues. His commitment to his community and his love for his family were always at the heart of his life. He cherished spending time with his loved ones, and his warmth, kindness, and generosity will be missed by all who knew him.

Graveside Service and Interment will be held on Sunday, January 26, 2025 at 12:30 PM at Beth Shalom Cemetery. In lieu of flowers contributions may be made to Adat Shalom Synagogue (https://adatshalompgh.org/), and Congregation Beth Shalom (https://bethshalompgh.org/) or charity of donor's choice.
