Arthur Sagi
Arthur Sagi, 71, of Saxonburg died at his home on Tuesday.
He was born May 18, 1946, in Pittsburgh and was the son of Arthur and Evelyn Sagi and stepson of Edmund Sagi.
Art, better known as Poppy, worked for Bessemer Railroad for many years at the Homestead Works plant. He also drove a truck for various companies until his retirement in 2012.
Art served as a Marine during the Vietnam War. He was a sharpshooter and artillery specialist from 1966 until 1968.
He was a car enthusiast and was so proud of his 1970 GTO that he had for over 38 years.
What can I say about Art? He knew everything … no he really did and had a grand story to back up his knowledge of all things. I would like to apologize to everyone doing their Google searches and not getting any answers. I am sure they are actively looking for the next gal or guy who knows everything. Good luck.
Most importantly, Poppy loved us, his family, fiercely and reminded us daily how awesome he truly was. We knew without a doubt we were loved. I hope you finally get your black raspberry pie and tell Meister we all say hi.
Survivors include his wife of 48 years, Sharon Sagi; and his doggies, Dexter and Fidget; two daughters, Jenna (Dan) Buechel and Tavia Lynch; his grandbabies, (the Beanpickers) Justin (Nicole), Casey, Abby, Maggie and Nathan, (the Boober Babies) Maliea, Darrah, Zane and Grace; and two sisters, Cindy (David) Smith and Sandy (Bill) Wertz.
