Our Dad and Grandfather, Edward Paul Valuska, died at Carriage Inn in Steubenville, OH on January 11, 2021. Edward was born in Wellsburg WV on May 26, 1923 the son of John and Anna Hudek Valuska. Edward was a WWII veteran serving in the Army Air Corp as part of D-Day Operations and then in France. He was honorably discharged as a Sargeant. He was one of the longest tenured employees at Wheeling-Pittsburg Steel and was featured in the union paper as a Man of Steel. He married JoAnn Pollock in November 1948. She passed away in November of 2010. Edward was preceeded in death by his four brothers; eldest brother John Jr. USMC who was killed in combat in the Pacific, George, Michael and David Valuska; four sisters Anna Pfiller, Helena Dyak, Margaret Herman and Esther Valuska.

He leaves to forever remember him with great love and gratitude one daughter Linda (John) Salsberg; three sons Edward A. (Debbie) Valuska, David P. Valuska, and Michael A.

Thank you so much to Carriage Inn and Dr. Tranto for their kind care. Kiley and Ashley and all the staff Dad loved you! And thank you to our dear Lord for lending us Dad for 97 years.

Edward was a master gardener and loved nature. Early in life he was baptized a Christian. Donations in his memory can be donated to VFW of which he was a member, Audobon Society or World Wildlife Fund.

Dear Pap, You have no idea how much we miss you already. I promise to always keep our conversations close to my heart. If it were times that I was taking you to get groceries or even just for a doctors check-up I enjoyed every minute of it. Thank you for being such a kind soul in this world. You still managed to be the most selfless man even after 97 years. All of the parent-student lunches in elementary school the only person who I cared to show up was you. I'll continue to miss you, and carry your selfless qualities throughout my life and my nursing career. I hope you're in a better place, and there's lots of birds, bunnies, tomato plants, and polka music. With love, your granddaughter Alexis
