BROSKY VINCENT I. AGE 87, PASS...
BROSKY VINCENT I. Age 87, passed away Monday, December 15, 2014, surrounded by his loving family. Born and raised in Pittsburgh, PA, he graduated from Schenley High School at the edge of the Hill District in North Oakland. After graduation, he joined the U.S. Merchant Marine for a two year stint near the end of World War II. Following that he returned to Pittsburgh and enrolled in Duquesne University where he earned a bachelor's degree in political science and successful completion of the Army ROTC program. Commissioned a 2nd lieutenant, he began a decorated Army Infantry officer career that lasted 23 years and included tours of duty in the Korean Conflict and Vietnam War. He met the love of his life, Catherine Rose Garred of Brownsville, PA and married her in 1957. He later received a master's degree in political science from the University of Pittsburgh and retired from the Army having risen to the rank of lieutenant colonel. He and Catherine settled the family in Louisville in 1973 after Vince accepted a position with Spalding University as assistant to the president, where he worked for 12 years. Vince had many passions throughout life, including sports (he loved tennis and captained a team that won a USTA 55+ national championship), politics, researching and investing in stocks, a good martini, the outdoors, and reading a good book. He was always in a good mood on Monday when the Steelers won on Sunday. He was a devout Roman Catholic and the most important things in the world to him were God, his wife Catherine, and their six sons. He was preceded in death by his loving wife of 20 years, Catherine; father, Ignatius; and mother, Veronica; sisters, Catherine and Veronica; and infant son, Bernard Leo. Survivors include sons, Vince (Alice) of Lakewood, NJ, Chris (Lisa), Jim (Farnaz) of Alexandria, VA, Joe (Rita), and Alex (Rachel) of Elizabethtown, KY, and Tom; and grandchildren, Maggie, Paul, and Sam.

ZASLOFF JOSEPH J. 1925 TO 2014...
ZASLOFF JOSEPH J. 1925 to 2014, husband, father, grandfather, professor emeritus of political science, and expert on the politics of Southeast Asia, died on Dec. 17, 2014. The cause was brain hemorrhaging following a fall. He would have turned 90 in February and had Parkinson's disease. Up until the end of his life, he retained all of his intellectual faculties and his generosity, empathy, and engagement in the world and in the lives of his family and friends. His family and the world have lost a great man. Joe was born in 1925 in Pittsburgh, PA. His parents, Harry Zasloff and Anna Shuset Zasloff, were Jewish immigrants from Ukraine and Bessarabia. When he was 18 he was drafted and served as a radio operator in General Patton's Army in World War II. He was wounded in Alsace, France, when, cut off from his unit, he escaped German tanks by running into a cellar and then a barn, where he hid for three days until, as he wrote, he "slithered past a parked tank and hobbled several miles to reach our rear echelon." Joe was awarded a Purple Heart and Bronze Star with oak leaf cluster for bravery. Joe described his army service as opening the horizons of his world and inspiring his lifelong involvement in international affairs. Under the GI bill, he earned a B.A. and M.A. in political science at the University of Pittsburgh, then went on to earn a Ph.D. at the Institut de Hautes Etudes Internationales in Geneva. His interest in Southeast Asia began in 1959, when he was given a teaching assignment at the University of Saigon. He would go on to become a leading researcher in the politics of Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia, publishing seven books. Up until the age of 39, Joe described himself as a "lonely bachelor." He met his wife, Tela, on a blind date, and after three dates, they were engaged to be married. Together, they raised four children, Anne, Eva, Beth, and Karen; and became grandparents to eight. This past spring they celebrated 50 years of marriage. After Joe retired from 49 years at the University of Pittsburgh, Joe and Tela moved to Williamstown, where the family had always spent the summers, together with Joe's oldest friend and colleague, Mac Brown. Joe loved playing tennis, skiing, and having dinner conversations with a close circle of friends. He and Tela enlarged their house to make room for their growing extended family. He will live on in all his acts of generosity and in the hearts of all who loved him. The funeral for Joseph Zasloff will be Friday, December 19, 2014, at 1:00 p.m. at Congregation Beth Israel, 53 Lois St., North Adams, MA. Burial will be private. The family will receive friends on Friday from 3:30 to 7:30 p.m. at the family home at 33 McCauley Lane in Williamstown. Send condolences post-gazette.com/gb

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
