Richard M. Slovich
Richard Michael Slovich, 64, of Holland, Pennsylvania, died unexpectedly on Friday, May 22, 2020 in a car accident. Born September 5, 1955, in Levittown, PA, he was the son of the late Frank Slovich and Rose Rita (Boyle) Slovich.
He began his career at US Steel and became a journeyman pipefitter.

(Scanlin) Slovich, his daughters Anna and Katharine (Matthew), his son, Michael (Jessica), as well as his brothers John, James, and Donald, his sisters, Rose Ann, Mary, and Deborah, and his grandson, Logan.
