William D Lutz

William (Bill) Dennis Lutz of Washington, PA was born to the late Merlin and Dorothy Lutz on October 29, 1942 in Canonsburg Hospital.  He died suddenly on February 19 after vacationing in Florida with his siblings. He is survived by his children, Matthew Lutz (Carrie) of Kill Devil Hills, NC, Hayden Lutz (Erin) of Wexford, PA, Nathan Lutz (Jill) (Bethel Park, PA), 7 grandchildren, his sister, Barbara Geis and his brother, Michael Lutz (both of Columbus, OH), his life-long friend Patricia Lutz (Washington, PA) and many other cousins and nieces and nephews.

Bill was a 1960 graduate of Bethel Park High School.  He went on to graduate Maga Cum Laude with a B.S. in Business from Duquesne University in just three years and graduated Phi Beta Kappa with a Master’s Degree in Economics from the University of West Virginia.  Bill was a self taught musician and accomplished player of the guitar, piano and organ and a member of the choir.  He enjoyed farming, all genres of music, golfing, Pittsburgh sports, traveling and good food. Bill was always curious, a life long learner and enjoyed reading about history, science and nature.  He was usually the smartest guy in the room.  His professional life saw him own multiple business ventures and hold a myriad of positions including long-haul truck driver, heavy equipment operator, farmer, school bus driver, house flipper, Director of Operations and Estimator at Pennsylvania Drilling Co., restaurant owner, maintenance technician and property manager.  He had a CDL Class A license with tanker and Hazmat endorsement.  He was a good teacher, surprisingly good dancer, remarkably slow eater and known for his kindness and generosity.  Mostly though, he will be remembered as a really good dad and really good friend.  Friends and family are welcome to pay their respects at the Paul Henney Cremation & Funeral Tributes, 5570 Library Rd., Bethel Park, PA 15102 on March 9th between the hours of 3:00-5:00 and 7:00-9:00.  The memorial service will be a private ceremony with only family members present.
