Linn Andrew Pittman, 76, of Indiana and formerly of Clairton where he was raised, died Thursday, October 1, 2020 at the Communities at Indian Haven. Born in McKeesport, February 4, 1944, he was a son of the late Willis Pittman and Regina (Connell) Pittman.
Linn was a kind, gentle, approachable and thoughtful person. Generous to a fault, he always thought of others first, putting their interests before his own.
Intellectually engaging, open-minded and tolerant of others’ views, values and life choices, Linn was a joy to be with. His sense of humor was delightful.
As a counselor, Linn was accepting and an empathetic listener and showed compassion to those who sought his help. Linn was also a gifted photographer and took great pains to make perfect the final products of his photographic projects for friends and family. His photography mirrored how he generally saw others … in their very best light.
He is survived by his stepsons: Chad Wright (Jessica) and Ben Wright (Amie). He is also remembered by his grandchildren: Alivia, Willow, Chad II, Elijah, Jericho and Hunter (& his mom Carole Patterson). He is also survived by his dear friend, Lilly Williamson; brother, Rollins Pittman (Sandra); sister-in-law, Sylvia Pittman; and by his nieces, nephews and his many dear friends near and far.
In addition to his parents he was preceded in death by his two wives: Harriet and their unborn child and Kathy Thompson. He was also preceded by siblings: Harry Pittman; Gary Pittman (Kathy, deceased); and Mary Jean (Pittman) Edgar (Harry, deceased).
A memorial service and celebration of Linn’s life will be held Saturday, October 17th from noon until 3:00 p.m. at the Ligonier Camp and Conference Center, 188 McCartney Lane, Ligonier, PA.
