Philip Shiloh Icenhour - July 15, 1964 - January 25, 2022

Departed: 01/25/2022 (Beaver)

Obituary Preview: Philip Shiloh Icenhour Beaver

Philip Shiloh Icenhour, 57, of Beaver, left this world after a seven year fight with cancer on Jan 25. He passed peacefully with his devoted mother and sisters by his side. Despite his illness, Shiloh courageously forged ahead, planning his next adventures. Shiloh was a 1983 graduate of Beaver Area Senior High, where he excelled in all athletics. After three years of success on the track, Shiloh helped lead the baseball team to the 1983 State Championships. But above all else, Shiloh found his calling on the gridiron. A two-time Dapper Dan Award winner, Shiloh helped lead  the team to back-to-back WPIAL  championships in 1981 and 1982 under the guidance of Coach Pat Tarquinio. He had the honor of receiving the Kay Lewis Award in 1983. Shiloh attended Washington & Jefferson College where he played baseball, football, lacrosse, became a Brother of the Lambda Chi Alpha Fraternity, and graduated in 1988. Many times he would ask his dad, “Where do you want me to hit one?”. He always delivered! Shiloh was humble, never speaking of his many achievements. His outgoing personality drew him into sales, and eventually to USA Pan where he worked until his illness. Shiloh is preceded in death by his father, Philip Jay Icenhour. He leaves to mourn his son, River Shiloh Icenhour. He also leaves his heartbroken mother, Ethel Icenhour, sisters Janey (Cliff) Conklin and Heather (Curt) Neish, and his partner, Linda Biezad. His quick wit and inappropriate remarks will be missed by his nieces and nephews, Haley (John) Thorpe, Trae Conklin, Spencer Conklin, Camden Neish, Hadley (Dalton) Bolles, Oliver Neish, and Skylar Moore. Among those who held a place in his heart are his supportive aunt Margie (Dennis) Dugan, his special aunt Mary Elizabeth, and  Sherri Herstine-Icenhour, River’s mother. Friends will be received at Todd Funeral Home on Sunday, January 30th from 2-4 and 6-8.  Funeral service will  be held at Todd Funeral Home on Monday January 31st at 1:00 conducted by Dr. William Silver. A Luncheon will be provided at First Presbyterian Church. Shiloh would give the shirt off his back to anyone who needed it; so in lieu of flowers, We ask that you honor Shiloh’s generous nature by performing a random act of kindness to someone in need.

Jack L. Romigh - October 28, 1943 - January 25, 2022

Departed: 01/25/2022 (Beaver)

Obituary Preview: JACK L. ROMIGH (1943-2022)

Jack L. Romigh, 78, of Brighton Township, Pennsylvania passed away unexpectedly on Tuesday, January 25.

Jack was the husband of the late Margaret (Cunnard) Romigh and son of the late Harry and Marie Romigh of Monaca and Brighton Township. He was preceded in death also by his brother Harry Jay Romigh and his sister LueVerne Viola (Romigh) Bowser.

Jack was a graduate of Ambridge Area High School, Community College of Beaver County (CCBC), and Robert Morris University. He volunteered to serve our country during the Vietnam War as a United States Marine. He was assigned active combat duty in several undisclosed jungle locations in South East Asia, earning him numerous awards, medals and citations. On American soil, he participated in official capacity for President John F. Kennedy’s funeral and Martin Luther King’s “I Have A Dream” speech.

Jack was always among the first to step up, volunteer, and lead. He was the first Alumni President of CCBC. He was the Union Treasurer during a tumultuous time at Westinghouse in Beaver. He held offices in the American Legion’s Baden Post and Elks Lodge in Rochester. Despite the fact that he swore he would never sleep outside again, he did, many, many, times, as a leader with the Boy Scouts of America. He went on to participate in BSA’s adult Wood Badge program and was inducted into their prestigious Order of the Arrow. He was also one heck of an ice skater who for a time was very involved with the Brady’s Run Ice Arena’s Christmas pageants.

Anyone who met Jack, even once, never forgot him. He was a man of mercurial nature and great intensity, even while resting. He was a cornerstone, influencer, mentor, notorious hard-ass, rogue, story-teller, pot-stirrer and gentleman scoundrel. Often all within the course of one conversation. He possessed a huge heart and tremendous generosity. You could always count on him to offer a helping hand, stirring speech or boot in the ass, depending on what he felt you needed most. Those who knew him best are comforted believing he is reunited with Margaret, his soul mate. They are again together, laughing, arguing, scheming, and dancing up a storm.

Jack is survived by his daughter and son-in-law, Kelly and James McNally, his daughter and son-in-law, Megan and Bill Kolder and his son, Matthew Romigh. He also leaves behind two grandsons, Braeden Thomas and Gavin Kolder, several nieces, nephews, cousins, and his beloved, spoiled, Doberman, Rio Marie.

Friends and family of Jack L. Romigh will be received at Todd Funeral Home, Beaver, on Wednesday, February 2 from 2:00-4:00 pm and 6:00-8:00 pm. There will also be a viewing on Thursday, February 3 from 10:00-11:00 am followed by a service at 11:00 am. Immediately after the service there will be a processional to Sylvania Hills Memorial Park and a brief prayer.
