Jack Allen Meyers
August 28, 2025

JACK ALLEN MEYERS: 92, of Pittsburgh, PA, passed away peacefully on August 28, 2025.

A lifelong Pittsburgher, Jack was born on March 19, 1933 to Anne and Louis Meyers. He attended Taylor Allderdice High School, graduating in 1951. He went on to earn a bachelor's degree in Industrial Management from the Carnegie Institute of Technology in 1954. He was a proud veteran of the U.S. Army, serving our country honorably. After his military service, he joined his father in their family business, Meyers Plumbing & Heating Supply Co., a business established in 1902 by Jack's grandfather. Jack spent his entire professional career leading and growing MP&H, catering to both institutional and residential customers in the greater Pittsburgh area. Jack continued to run the company with his brother-in-law until Jack's retirement in 2004.

Jack was fond of saying that his successful business career allowed him to do the more important work in his life - dedicating himself to family and community. He began his volunteer work with the Jewish Federation of Greater Pittsburgh's fundraising campaigns and continued to be committed to the UJF by holding many leadership positions. He was passionate about Jewish education, which led to his involvement as a founder of Pittsburgh's Community Day School and numerous other roles, both locally and nationally.

In 1971, Jack and his wife first traveled to Israel. They arrived as tourists and departed as dedicated Zionists. He organized and chaired the first Shalliach program, which brought Israeli emissaries to western Pennsylvania. Jack was particularly proud of his appointment to, and service on the board of the Joint Distribution Committee. Jack's love of Israel prompted him to visit the country more than 50 times, resulting in a deeper connection to Israel and the cultivation of many lifelong friendships.

While volunteerism was important to him, above all else, Jack dedicated himself to his relationships with his family and the friends who became part of his family. He relished spending winters at his home on Longboat Key, FL with so many friends and family. Whether as a planner of trips across the country and around the world, a creative problem solver, or as a sage provider of advice, those closest to him knew Jack as the warm and caring person on whom they could rely.

Jack is survived by his loving and dedicated wife of 62 years, Bernice, his children, Marcy, Michael (Esther) and Matthew (Heidi). Jack was the proud grandfather of Lea, Paz, Abby, Simon, Ruby, and Lewis. He is also survived by his sister, Tibey Falk. Jack is predeceased by his parents, Anne and Louis Meyers. Jack will also be missed by many loving relatives, including sisters-in-law, brothers-in-law, nieces, nephews, and cousins, as well as dear friends, across generations.

Jack's family would like to express their gratitude to his many doctors and healthcare professionals who provided exceptional care over many years, and to his caregivers, who were instrumental in allowing him to maintain his quality of life and dignity until the end.

Services at Ralph Schugar Chapel, Inc., 5509 Centre Avenue, Shadyside, on Monday, September 1, 2025 at 1 PM. NO prior visitation. Interment at Beth Shalom Cemetery. Contributions may be made to the Jewish Federation of Greater Pittsburgh (jewishpgh.org/) or the charity of your choice. www.schugar.com
